Big Freedia going on tour with Kesha
Kesha‘s new album High Road comes out this Friday (1/10) (update: pushed back to January 31), and it features her two recent singles with intriguing guests, “Raising Hell” (ft. Big Freedia) and “Resentment” (ft. Sturgill Simspon & Brian Wilson). Kesha has also now announced a tour, and Big Freedia will come along for that ride too. She told Rolling Stone:
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!!!!!!
The tour includes a NYC show on May 28 at The Rooftop at Pier 17, and tickets for that show go on sale Friday (1/10) at 10 AM with various presales beforehand. All dates are listed below.
