Kesha is hitting the road this year to support her upcoming album, High Road.
On Tuesday (January 7), the pop star announced the 26-date North American tour, which kicks off at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, Texas, on April 23, before it hits cities like Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver, Atlanta, New York and concludes in Windsor, Ontario, on June 5. Big Freedia will also join the comeback kid on a number of shows. Pre-sale for the tour starts on Wednesday, with tickets to the general public going live on Friday. Every ticket purchased online will include a CD copy of High Road, which drops on January 31.
In a statement for the tour, Kesha said she's ready to celebrate new beginnings. "While shaking my ass at the stroke of midnight, ringing in the new year, new decade, with my new album coming this month, I thought to myself, 'Damn. I think the best medicine for happiness and having a beautiful life is to celebrate it while I have it, with the people I love most. And ummm…shake my ass. As often as possible," she said. "So…this is my HIGH ROAD TOUR announce!!! If you wanna come shake ur body and hear the new jams LIVE, this is the place to do it!
