Back in October, Kesha recruited Big Freedia for a performance of “Raising Hell” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. That’s apparently an energy Kesha is looking to keep up in 2020, because she has just announced a run of North American tour dates with support from Freedia.
The shows span from late April to early June. Kesha shared a statement about the tour with Rolling Stone, saying:
“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.’ 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! And, on the HIGH ROAD TOUR, you will have not one, but two grand supreme expert body movers — BIG FREEDIA and YOURS TRULY — ME!!!!! Come see us on tour this Spring!!!!!!”
