Kesha, The Freedom Tour, promoted by Live Nation (Ruby Boland)
The name of Kesha’s new tour is much more family-friendly than her 2025 trek, which had a name we can’t really say out loud.
The singer will launch The Freedom Tour May 23 in Chula Vista, California, and wrap things up Aug. 30 in Noblesville, Indiana. In between, she’ll also perform on June 6 at Toronto’s All Things Go Festival and on June 14 at Tennessee’s Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.
Kesha says of the tour, “I’ve lived through the fire. 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”
“This summer we are reclaiming our bodies, our voices, and our joy,” she 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.”
Presales start Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time and run through the week. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local at KeshaOfficial.com.
In addition, Kesha has new music on the way. Her most recent album is 2025’s Period.

Céline Dion returned to public performance at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, France, and now she may be making a full-fledged comeback in the same city.
A series of posters has gone up around Paris, each with the title of one of Céline’s songs, such as “The Power of Love” and “My Heart Will Go On.” Meanwhile, the Canadian publication La Presse reported on Sunday that Céline will be doing a series of concerts at the Paris La Défense Arena, which holds 40,000 people.
Specifically, La Presse columnist Hugo Dumas wrote that he’s been given “credible information” that the Canadian superstar will perform two concerts per week during September and October. Nothing has been confirmed, but Dumas notes that the arena’s website doesn’t list any shows at all for the fall season, indicating that dates might be “blocked out” for a special event.
Céline last performed a full concert on March 8, 2020; she was forced to cancel her Courage World Tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A planned 2021 residency in Las Vegas never materialized due to her stiff-person syndrome diagnosis, a rare condition that causes debilitating muscle spasms.
Dumas reported that he’s been told the singer is “doing well and her illness is under control.”

The tour announcement comes as The Doobie Brothers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their sixth studio album, Takin’ It to the Streets.

The Kinks’ Dave Davies has responded to criticism dished out by musician Moby over their classic tune “Lola.”
In an interview with The Guardian, Moby revealed that the iconic tune was a song he could no longer listen to, noting, “’Lola’ by the Kinks came up on a Spotify playlist, and I thought the lyrics were gross and transphobic.”
He added, “I like their early music, but I was really taken aback at how unevolved the lyrics are.”
But Dave Davies took to social media to argue that the song isn’t transphobic at all.
“I don’t wanna show the guy up, but Moby should be careful what he says. the cockettes And their friends used to follow us around on tour,” he wrote on X, referring to the ’70s psychedelic hippie theater group formed in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco. “We appreciated them.”
He added, “Why is Moby being so rude about this simple song? We’re not trans phobic. Why does he have to have a go at us?”
Dave Davies also posted a letter sent to him and brother Ray Davies, who wrote the song, from “trans icon” Jayne County on how meaningful the song “Lola” is to her. Dave Davies noted in the caption, “I am highly insulted that MOBY would accuse my brother of being ‘unevolved’ or transphobic in any way.”
“Lola,” released in June 1970, tells the story of a man’s encounter with a trans woman or cross-dresser. According to the lyrics, Lola “walked like a woman but talked like a man.” The song was a top-10 hit for the band.
SZA recently joined the viral “what were you like in the ’90s?” social media trend — but with her own spin. Instead of using the original Goo Goo Dolls track “Iris,” she soundtracked her throwback photos with her own cover. “Trend had me so cooked I couldn’t stop singing it, so I made my own deep-fried Goo Goo Dolls tease,” she wrote.
Brandy will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on March 30. Sibley Scoles will host, with Issa Rae and Babyface as guest speakers. “Brandy has captivated audiences for decades with a voice and artistry that helped shape modern R&B,” producer Ana Martinez said in a statement, calling the honor a celebration of Brandy’s impact across music, TV and film. Brandy’s memoir, Phases, arrives March 31, and she’ll also perform at the Essence Festival and Roots Picnic.
J. Cole recently opened up about apologizing to Kendrick Lamar after dissing him on “7 Minute Drill.” Speaking with Nadeska Alexis forApple Music, he said he regretted fueling division between K. Dot and Drake. “I got genuine love for these dudes,” he said, noting that he realized he’d publicly said something he didn’t believe. Cole added that he saw his performance at Dreamville Fest as a chance to make things right. “Now you got an opportunity to go on a bigger forum … and say something that you believe in. And in that moment, I’m like, ‘Thank you, God,'” he said. Cole is set to appear in an interview on Cam’ron’s Talk with Flee Tuesday.
ZZ Top released their eighth studio album, Eliminator, which went on to be the band’s most commercially successful album, peaking at #9 on the Billboard Album chart.
The album, which used more synthesizers and drum machines than previous ZZ Top records, featured four hit singles: “Legs,” “Gimme All Your Lovin’,” “Sharped Dressed Man” and “TV Dinners.”
The success those songs — and the album — were helped by their popular accompanying music videos. They were in regular rotation on MTV, helping to attract a younger fan base.
Eliminator was the first of the band’s albums to become a worldwide success and went on to sell over 11 million copies in the U.S. It has been certified Diamond by the RIAA.

In front of some 100,000 fans, BTS performed 12 songs, including multiple tracks from ARIRANG, and hits like “Butter” and “Dynamite.” RM, who recently injured his ankle, had to sit on a stool while the rest of the group performed their signature choreography.
While onstage, SUGA told the crowd, “With this album, we wanted to show you the most honest side of the seven of us. We worked hard to show a more mature and evolved BTS, and I’m so happy to finally present it to you.” You can watch highlights on Tudum.com.
