The Rainbow Tour is the fourth headlining concert tour by American recording artist Kesha.

The tour started in Birmingham, Alabama on September 26, 2017, and concluded in Las Vegas, Nevada on November 16, 2019.[2]
Specifics and visuals[]
Kesha presented a completely different set from her previous tours, the accompaniment consists of two dancers, two or three on the guitar and one on the piano, it is also the first time that Pebe participates in a tour with Kesha.
A huge spaceship sits on the roof of the stage, Kesha told Buzzfeed news[3]:
| “ | Sooo, for my new tour, I wanted a huge spaceship with crazy lights above my head, so I designed one and we built it! | ” |
Kesha made costume changes and played the guitar during select songs, the stage also consists of a flag of the LGBTQ + community with which the singer covers herself for some tracks.
| “ | On the first night of my Rainbow tour, a fan threw a rainbow flag onto stage. Now, every night, I keep the flag on my hot pink Vox guitar amp until the end of the show — when I drape myself in it. | ” |
