The Tits Out Tour is the third co-headlining tour by Kesha. It is co-headlined with pop rock band, Scissor Sisters for the North American leg. The tour began on July 1, 2025 in West Valley City, UT. Presale began on April 8 with general sale beginning on April 10. On May 29, 2025, nine European dates were announced for Spring 2026, however it will only be Kesha headlining.
Background[]
In 2023, Kesha began working on new music for her sixth studio album, Period. After the settlement of the lawsuit, the conclusion of the Only Love Tour, and departing from the Kemosabe and RCA Record Labels, she released her first single, "JOYRIDE." through her own label, Kesha Records.
The Scissor Sisters announced a reunion in October 2024, as well as their own 2025 European tour. Their participation in the tour is considered the North American leg of their reunion tour and is their first time touring there in over a decade.
On April 3, 2025, the tour was announced with pre-sales beginning on April 8th, with general sale beginning on April 10th. The tour marks Kesha's first time performing at Madison Square Garden and the Kia Forum. Slayyyter and Rose Gray served as supporting acts on select dates, with Vengaboys being added for the MSG performance alongside Gray.
On May 29, 2025, Kesha announced a set of 2026 European dates, marking it the first time fully touring in the area since the Rainbow Tour. Due to high demand, extra shows were added for both Manchester and London.
| “ | 'Tits Out' is about a way of life—about being sick of hiding both your physical body, but also emotionally, spiritually, all your kinks, all your flaws. It’s when you just don’t have a single fuck left in you to give about what other people think about you, and you’re just ready to really express yourself in your most authentic form. I just want to create a safe space for people to come and feel like the most authentic version of themselves, and loved and celebrated for it. | ” |
In an interview with Bustle, she stated her Madison Square Garden performance was recorded for a forthcoming concert special.
| “ | That was one of the greatest nights of my life. To have gone through what I've gone through in my life, and then this be the moment when my fans rallied around me so hard and sold out MSG? It really felt like a pointed moment that I can look back to for the rest of my life and say, 'I'm through the hard part. I'm so loved. I have something to offer, and what I do matters.' | ” |
—Kesha, Bustle | ||
Two additional shows in Europe was added for Roundhay Festival and BST Hyde Park during July 2026, supporting Pitbull.
Concert synopsis[]
Kesha's set begins with an advertisement for the dating app, Feeld. She starts off with "Tik Tok" wearing a white bodysuit and jacket, with the opening lyrics being changed to "Wake up in the morning like f*ck P. Diddy", acknowledging the abuse allegations against the rapper. She then sings a medley of songs from her second studio album, Warrior, starting with the title track. She proceeds to move through the crowd singing "C'Mon" and "Thinking of You", interacting with the fans.
The second act sees Kesha singing a snippet of "Sleazy" before transitioning into "Boy Crazy" with a "sexy" female fronted choreography. "Cannibal" sees her "killing" one of her dancers with a prop knife. To close the second act, she performs "Take It Off", but it is noted she asked fans to not throw their clothes on stage, as they have done on previous tours.
Act three starts off with "Blow", with Kesha wearing a black latex leotard and playing an electric guitar. The song is cut short before moving onto "The Drama" and sees the singer being put in a straitjacket, the word "abuse" being flashed onto the screen behind her. Her dancers are dressed like militia and drag her around onstage while phone cameras flash her during "Fine Line". As "Ram Dass Interlude" plays, Kesha pushes the wall of phones out of her face, with Shi Bradley of Phoenix New Times praising the symbolism. Kesha ends the act with "Happy", where she sits onstage wearing a party hat and strums on the guitar. She tells the crowd: "I made this song saying one day I've been happy, and truth is, now I've never been happier in my life." The final song of act three is "Eat the Acid" and shows two robed dancers offering Kesha a crown, eventually yielding it and the gloves before exiting the stage.
Act four sees Kesha wearing a handprint top as she performs the next set of songs. Wrapping up the act, she performed "Dinosaur", where her male dancers showed up dressed as cheerleaders.
Transitioning into the final act, Kesha's name flashes onscreen in neon pink. Her final outfit consists of a more casual aesthetic with a bedazzled corset top and jeans. She belts out shortened versions of her ballads, "Cathedral" and "Praying".
Critical reception[]
Shi Bradley of Phoenix New Times gave a positive review during the Phoenix, Arizona, show. He praised the tour for giving exposure to rising and veterans of LGBTQ+ artists. Bradley also favored seeing Kesha return to her party girl image, but on the singer's own terms. "...in the light of stressful times, especially among women and the queer community, a pop party where everyone is encouraged to let loose, sing and dance their hearts out, and be the most fierce, unapologetic versions of themselves couldn’t have come any sooner."
Monowara Hossain from mxdwn favored how Kesha poured her pain in her performance at the Khia Forum in California. She opined that new songs from the singer's album, Period, hit the hardest, further stating even in their shortened form "packed an emotional punch". She noted the performance of "We R Who We R" as one of the most powerful moments of the show as the screen onstage played a montage of Kesha's childhood, early music videos, awards show highlights, and backstage moments. Hossain also gave praise to Slayyyter and the Scissor Sisters' "energetic" opening sets. Jazz Williams of music blog, Pop Passion, stated she was "in awe" at Kesha's dancing and vocal control throughout her 105-minute set. She went on praising the singer cultivating an "environment full of love, acceptance, and dance".
