That Eric Alper

Multi-Platinum global pop superstar Kesha has announced plans for a milestone North American headline tour – the biggest live run of her already extraordinary career. Newly reunited glam-pop legends Scissor Sisters (Jake Shears, Babydaddy & Del Marquis) join on all dates, marking their first North American tour in over a decade. Produced by Live Nation and in partnership with Feeld, the dating app for the curious, The Tits Out Tour kicks off July 1 at West Valley City, UT’s Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre and then hits arenas and amphitheaters across the continent through an August 10 finale at Tampa, FL’s MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre. Highlights include Kesha’s first-ever solo headline shows at such world-famous venues as Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum (July 5) and New York City’s Madison Square Garden (July 23). Pop disruptor Slayyyter (July 1-July 18) and rising UK artist Rose Gray (July 19-21, July 24-August 10) will also join as support on select dates. Full routing available below.

“The most political thing we can do right now is love. Love ourselves and love each other,” says Kesha. “Americans need to have more safe, consensual sex. Our administration is so disembodied and disconnected. I’m going TITS OUT this summer to bring as much safety, fun, acceptance, love, connection, and celebration to this country because we are just as much the fabric of this FREE nation as anyone else. We will not be quiet, and we will fight through joy! I think it’s time to make LOVE, not content. LOVE, not anger. LOVE, not hatred, and love, not war.

I’m committed to bringing my newfound freedom to a city near you. A celebration is in order. I have partnered with Feeld, a dating app for open-minded people, in order to bring our sexually liberated selves and give us a place to flirt, meet, connect, and dance.

Color-coded options will be available soon, but this summer wear RED if you are single, horny, and down to flirt!

Let’s fight chaos with love, so let’s see how much love we can bring to the summer of 2025.

And along the way, I’m looking for a sugar daddy, so if you bring a tall, hot, single friend, you get extra animal points.

Let’s help each other find some love and connection this summer.

Let’s go tits out!”

Fans can sign up now for access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 8 at 10 am (local) at keshaofficial.com and scissorsisters.com. Additional presales will run throughout the week.

“We are stoked to extend our reunion to the US and Canada this summer alongside Kesha,” says Scissor Sisters. “There has always been a bit of anarchy and chaos to both of our live shows – and we can’t wait to bring that ‘anything can happen’ energy across North America again.”

To celebrate today’s announcement of The Tits Out Tour – which comes amid a recent swirl of cryptic teasers across social media – tonight will see Kesha play a special Boiler Room set in Miami.

In the spirit of finding her partner(s), Kesha is teaming up with Feeld, the dating app for the curious, for The Tits Out Tour to empower her fans along their journeys of self-discovery. Both Feeld and Kesha share a commitment to breaking barriers, embracing individuality, and encouraging people to live their truth. This collaboration is an exciting opportunity for Feeld and Kesha to host spaces where being unapologetically yourself is not just celebrated, but encouraged. With Kesha’s fearless attitude and Feeld’s commitment to create a platform for honest connection, their partnership will emphasize the importance of embracing who you truly are.

“I’m beaming with joy to be sharing this journey with Kesha, as we empower humans to find their authenticity,” said Ana Kirova, CEO of Feeld. “Her creativity and the courage in her expression that she carries so lightly have been a true inspiration for us, as they relate so closely with our mission at Feeld. The journey we’ll share this summer will give new worlds for everything we stand for – discovering who you are, living boldly as one’s true self and feeling the joy of freedom to be oneself.”

Additional support for The Tits Out Tour comes from Spot Pet Insurance, one of the fastest growing pet insurance providers in North America. Partnering with the ultimate Mother of Pets, Kesha, Spot Pet Insurance is making pet adoption the real star of the show, by spotlighting local rescues across the tour. This partnership highlights Kesha’s lifelong love of pets and Spot’s mission to help every cat and dog live their longest, healthiest lives. This collaboration realizes both Kesha and Spot Pet Insurance’s belief that every pet deserves a loving home, and every pet parent deserves the peace of mind that pet insurance can offer.

The Tits Out Tour heralds the hugely anticipated release of Kesha’s long awaited new album, . (PERIOD), arriving at last Independence Day, Friday, July 4 on her own Kesha Records. Pre-orders/pre-saves are available now.

. (PERIOD) – which arrives exactly one year since Kesha returned on her own terms with 2024’s smash comeback hit, “JOYRIDE” – was first unveiled last month with the premiere of the thrilling new single, “YIPPEE-KI-YAY. (Feat. T-Pain),” available now at all DSPs and streaming services. Produced by Pink Slip (Ava Max, Jason Derulo) and Nova Wav (Rihanna, Beyoncé), the track is joined by an official visualizer, premiering today via YouTube.

Kesha’s sixth studio album, . (PERIOD) – yes, it’s just a period. – is an unapologetic, unfiltered declaration of artistic freedom and fearless authenticity from the 2x GRAMMY Award-nominated pop icon. Conceived, co-produced and co-written by Kesha, the 11-song collection transcends pop norms to create a raw, daring, and intensely personal sonic journey, a defiant act of self-expression that refuses to adhere to expectations or play it safe. More than just a new album, . (PERIOD) is Kesha at her most powerful best, turning her experiences into vibrant, audacious art with a spiked heel at the neck of pop culture.

Among its many exhilarating highlights, . (PERIOD) includes 2024’s aforementioned “JOYRIDE” and the blockbuster “DELUSIONAL,” both available everywhere now. Currently boasting over 103M streams at Spotify alone, “JOYRIDE” proved a true sensation since its Independence Day 2024 release, reaching #6 on Billboard’s “Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles” and “Hot Dance/Electronic Songs” along with the top 30 on “Pop Airplay” and chart success around the world from the UK to New Zealand. Produced by Zhone and co-written by Kesha, Zhone, and Madison Love, the track marked the triumphant first chapter of a milestone new era for Kesha, celebrating both her long overdue empowerment as an independent artist as well as a powerful sonic evolution following 2023’s critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Gag Order. Along with its popular achievement, “JOYRIDE” has been met by high-profile critical applause from the likes of Rolling Stone,Variety, and Vulture, to name only a few. Perhaps NYLON said it best: “Everything about ‘JOYRIDE’ is a trip…The original glitter-faced party animal of the 2010s is back with a fiery vengeance.”

“JOYRIDE” joined by an equally acclaimed official music video streaming now at YouTube. Directed by Dimitri Basil (Kylie Minogue, Vance Joy), Cooper Roussel (Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Miami Horror), and Laura Gorun (Joywave, Kings of Leon), the high-octane visual received wide-ranging attention from major publications and top online outlets around the globe, including Billboard, Vulture, and Rolling Stone, the latter of which raved, ““Kesha is taking her foot off the brakes and going full-speed ahead on her new video for ‘JOYRIDE.’ The video sees Kesha racing through the desert in a hot red convertible while being chased by a helicopter, gun-toting assassins, and a shirtless dude hell-bent on catching up to the pop diva.”

One of Spotify’s Top 100 Artists with close to 40M monthly listeners, Kesha will further herald the arrival of . (PERIOD) with a number of sold-out “House of Kesha” headline shows and festival dates around the globe, including a top-billed performance at London’s Mighty Hoopla pop extravaganza on June 1.

Kesha is an undeniable pop icon with 10 top 10 singles, more than 3B worldwide streams, two #1 albums, four #1 songs on top 40 radio and nearly 40M followers across social media. The 2x GRAMMY Award-nominated superstar attracts a diverse, passionate and socially-engaged global audience who believe in the messages behind her music while critics also have unanimously sung her praises. Kesha’s ventures outside of music include a top-rated TV program, an award-winning film, a book, a cruise and a cosmetics line, all of which spotlight an artist whose passion, talent and charm has earned her legions of fans. Additionally, Kesha has been a staunch advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community and animal welfare through various organizations since the start of her career. 2023’s Gag Order, which marked Kesha’s first new album in over three years, was met by worldwide critical applause and later named “Album of the Year” by The Arts Desk while also placing in the upper echelons of year-end charts from Rolling Stone, PopMatters, The Independent, Slant, and The Sunday Times.

2024 was among undoubtedly among the most momentous years of Kesha’s historic career, with highlights including her featured role on the remix of Charli XCX’s “Spring Breakers” (found on the acclaimed Brat and It’s Completely Different but Also Still Brat), starring on the cover of GLAMOUR Germany, and being honored as “Music Icon” at GLAMOUR Germany’s 2024 Women of the Year Awards. Kesha – who kicked off the year teaching “The Alchemy of Pop“ as Artist in Residence at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur, CA, followed by a major Ted Talk at Vancouver, BC’s TED2024 conference – further delighted fans with show-stopping festival performances at West Hollywood, CA’s OUTLOUD Music Festival At WeHo Pride, Philadelphia, PA’ Wawa Welcome America Festival in Philadelphia, PA, Chicago, IL’s Lollapalooza and Mexico City, MX’s Festival HERA HSBC, as well as such surprises as a live performance to over 5,000 ecstatic fans at Brooklyn, NY’s sold-out Planet Pride 2024 and a special guest appearance alongside Reneé Rapp at Indio, CA’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival that saw the two stars performing Kesha’s 8x RIAA Platinum-certified, worldwide #1 classic hit, “Tik Tok,” complete with raised middle fingers and an updated lyrical shout to “F-ck P Diddy.” “This I think is the hottest person on the Earth,” Rapp said while introducing her surprise guest. “Everybody put your f-cking hands together for Kesha.” Her incredible 2024 was wrapped up by teaming with iHeartRadio for rapturously received holiday performances at Kiss 108’s Jingle Ball Presented By Capital One at Boston, MA’s TD Garden and Hot 99.5’s Jingle Ball Presented By Capital One at Washington, DC’s Capital One Arena.

Scissor Sisters are the glam-pop legends behind era-defining hits like “Take Your Mama” and “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.” With their first U.S. tour in over a decade, the band returns to the stage with the same glitter-drenched energy and bold artistry that made them icons of a generation. The era-defining pop disruptors – lead singer Jake Shears plus multi-instrumentalists Babydaddy and Del Marquis – are touring the UK this May as well as playing a slew of European festivals including Glastonbury ahead of their North American run with Kesha this summer. The band are known for their signature mix of showmanship, songcraft and galvanising queer energy.

“It’s the 20th anniversary of our debut album Scissor Sisters, so it really feels like the right time to revisit all the intense excitement of that moment,” Jake says. “And,” Babydaddy adds, “there’s something really special about us being a gay band, a queer band, who really pushed into the mainstream with that album. We want to revisit that because there weren’t as many LGBTQ+ acts breaking through in that way 20 years ago.

Released in February 2004, the group’s eponymous debut album was a chart-topping blockbuster that spawned five irresistible singles: the funky strut of Laura, Elton-esque coming out anthem Take Your Mama, life-affirming ballad Mary, horny club banger Filthy/Gorgeous and an audacious disco cover of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb. “I think Jake’s original vision for our version was Sisters of Mercy meets Cher, so we definitely ended up upsetting some prog rock fans,” Babydaddy says with a smile. The album, one of the UK’s 40 best-sellers of all time, was reissued on vinyl last year with a deluxe expanded edition to follow in 2025. Fans can expect B-sides, remixes and unheard rarities alongside the original 11-track LP.

They’re also a band defined by certain dichotomies. Though they emerged from New York’s hyper-creative queer underground, they were embraced most vehemently of all in the UK, where Scissor Sisters became the best-selling album of 2004. That year, they also collaborated with pop royalty when they co-wrote and produced Kylie Minogue’s shimmering disco gem I Believe in You, a UK number two hit that was nominated for a Grammy award.

In 2005, they cemented their incredible rise by winning three BRIT Awards – for International Breakthrough Act, International Group and International Album – and performing Take Your Mama at the ceremony with eye-popping puppets created by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Sharing the stage with a chorus of watermelons, dancing eggs and a singing barn was a classic Scissor Sisters moment: campy and trippy, but executed in a way that absolutely everyone could enjoy.

The Scissor Sisters live experience will have a different dynamic in 2025 with singer Ana Matronic deciding not to join the tour. “We’ve spent a lot of time collectively thinking about what we can add to our show that isn’t a ‘replacement’ for Ana in any way,” Del says. “She’s part of the spirit of this band and we want to honour that.” For Jake, reconvening as a trio adds to the “fun challenge” of working out what their live show looks and feels like after 12 years away. “The way I see it is this,” he adds, “If it’s gonna be different, why not make it an interesting kind of different?”

The band’s second album Ta-Dah stormed straight to the top of the charts in 2006 after spawning the number one single I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’, a dazzling disco bop co-written with the band’s idol Elton John. Ta-Dah also featured the deliciously off-kilter stomper I Can’t Decide, which has gone on to become one of the band’s most streamed songs despite never being released as a single. “It’s big on TikTok and just seems to pop up everywhere – I heard it in a comic store the other day,” Babydaddy says.

Ta-Dah was followed in time by Night Work, a harder dance-rock record spearheaded by the strident single Fire with Fire.   He says the band were “more chilled” by the time they made. This kaleidoscopic third album Magic Hour yielded the sleek house single Only the Horses, which was co-produced by Calvin Harris, and the drag-inspired banger Let’s Have a Kiki. The latter remains a staple at gay bars and Pride parties, and the band are especially excited to be returning in an era where more queer artists are breakout stars. “We do acknowledge that we did something pretty unique back then just by putting ourselves out there as queer people,” Babydaddy says. “We put queer culture in the mainstream at a time when there wasn’t much of it there.”

In Del’s eyes, Scissor Sisters were part of the last generation of bands that emerged organically from club culture and an IRL scene. “You could just meet people through mutual friends and form a band,” he says. “You might not know your instrument, but if you all shared a certain spark, something could happen.” It’s this unique spark – the one that took Scissor Sisters from the underground to number one – that they’ll be reigniting on their 2025 tour. “There has to be a little bit of anarchy and chaos in our live shows,” Jake says. “That’s the magic ingredient and we’re definitely gonna bring that ‘anything can happen’ energy again.”
