A singer is known for her hit party songs — and she’s bringing that energy to North Carolina this summer.
Pop star Kesha is set to perform in Charlotte this August. And some tickets for the concert already are on sale.
“Known for turning her live shows into ecstatic communal rituals, Kesha promises a spectacle that blends massive pop production with intimate moments of truth,” Live Nation wrote in a Monday, March 23 news release. “Expect anthems, surreal visuals, cathartic sing-alongs, and the kind of emotional release that transforms arenas into spiritual safe places.”
Here’s what to know about the Charlotte show and how to get tickets.
When and where will Kesha perform?
Kesha is set to headline a show featuring “electrofunk” duo Chromeo and singer Meek. The artists will take the stage at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, according to Live Nation and its ticket vendor Ticketmaster.
The concert is planned for Truliant Amphitheater, formerly called PNC Music Pavilion. The venue is in the University City area, a roughly 15-mile drive northeast from uptown Charlotte.
“This is an outdoor venue with portions of the reserved seats under cover,” Ticketmaster wrote on its website. “The show will take place rain or shine.”
If you want a taste of what you may experience, here’s a concert review and photos The Charlotte Observer took during Kesha’s performance at the same venue last year.
How to get tickets
For fans wanting to see Kesha this time around, some pre-sale seats became available Tuesday, March 24. To see when or if you may be able to get early access, visit the Ticketmaster website at ticketmaster.com.
Then at 10 a.m. Friday, March 27, tickets are set to go on sale for the general public. You can find them at keshaofficial.com.
The Charlotte concert is part of The Freedom Tour, which reportedly reflects “years of transformation, healing, and creative rebirth” for Kesha. In 2023, the artist settled a series of lawsuits involving music producer Dr. Luke, whom she accused of sexual assault.
Kesha first received wide attention when she appeared on Flo Rida’s song “Right Round” in 2009. A year later, her debut album featured the party hits “Tik Tok” and “Your Love Is My Drug,” according to the Associated Press and biography.com.
The singer’s latest tour has stops planned for more than a dozen U.S. cities, according to her website. The only other North Carolina concert is set to take place in Raleigh on Wednesday, June 10.
