After months of endless updates on Kesha‘s legal battle with Dr. Luke and her label over her sexual abuse allegations against the producer, news went quiet, and updates began to be music-related again. She was announced as the Mad Decent Block Party headliner, she performed at the BBMAs. But today (July 19) could be the most promising development yet, as Kesha took to Instagram to tell fans she’s heading on a small summer tour during which she’ll be performing new music.
“We’re going on a tour,” she said in the video. “I’m playing songs you’ve never heard me play before and I may never play again — only a couple of shows.”
The dates haven’t been officially released yet, but SPIN points out that Bandsintown has listed a string of dates beginning July 23 in Las Vegas and running through August.
We’ll update this post once the official announcement is out.
