Kesha Announces The Freedom Tour A Global Celebration Of Survival, Liberation, And Radical Joy
Following the raw, rebellious energy of last year’s Tits Out Tour, global pop icon Kesha returns this summer with her most powerful live experience yet: The Freedom Tour.
More than a concert, The Freedom Tour is a declaration. After years of transformation, healing, and creative rebirth, Kesha is stepping into a new era—one defined by radical self-expression, spiritual resilience, and rebellious joy. The Freedom Tour will bring fans into a high-voltage world where glitter meets grit, pop anthems meet spiritual awakening, and survival becomes a celebration.
“I’ve lived through the fire,” says Kesha. “This tour is about what comes after. Freedom isn’t just leaving something behind—it’s discovering that what you have lived through has made you magnificently who you are”
Known for turning her live shows into ecstatic communal rituals, Kesha promises a spectacle that blends massive pop production with intimate moments of truth. Expect anthems, surreal visuals, cathartic sing-alongs, and the kind of emotional release that transforms arenas into spiritual safe places.
For a generation that has danced through heartbreak, fought for identity, and chosen joy, The Freedom Tour is a movement. Keshahas long been an advocate and voice for the outsiders, misfits, and survivors. With The Freedom Tour, she embraces it all—creating a space where fans can scream, cry, heal, and celebrate together. “This summer we are reclaiming our bodies, our voices, and our joy,” Kesha adds. “We have survived. Now we get to be free. Let’s be free together. I want to know what freedom feels like, with all of you”

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
Tour Dates for Luke Combs 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’:
April 3 — Arlington, Texas @ AT&T Stadium
April 10 — Minneapolis, Minn. @ U.S. Bank Stadium
April 17 — Detroit, Mich. @ Ford Field
April 24 — Philadelphia, Pa. @ Lincoln Financial Field
May 1 — Foxborough, Mass. @ Gillette Stadium
May 8 — Pittsburgh, Pa. @ Acrisure Stadium
May 15 — Kansas City, Mo. @ Arrowhead Stadium
May 29 — Edmonton, Alb. Canada @ Commonwealth Stadium
June 5 — Vancouver, B.C. Canada @ BC Place
June 12 — Boise, Idaho @ Albertsons Stadium
June 19 — Denver, Colo. @ Empower Field at Mile High
June 26 — San Diego, Calif. @ Petco Park
