Kesha’s highly anticipated 2026 Australian tour has ignited a passionate debate among fans Down Under, following her recent announcement of dates that conspicuously omit one of the nation’s major metropolitan hubs.
Social media platforms, particularly X, quickly became a hotbed of discussion, with numerous fans expressing disbelief and frustration over the pop superstar’s tour itinerary. Many vocalized their disappointment, questioning the decision to bypass a key Australian city while confirming shows in others.
Interestingly, this perceived oversight also elicited a unique response from concertgoers in other Australian cities. For years, smaller metro centers have often felt overlooked by major international artists, leading some to humorously point out the tables had turned, acknowledging a shared sentiment of feeling neglected in tour planning.
Despite the initial uproar, a wave of speculation emerged regarding the potential reasons behind the omission. Fans highlighted Kesha’s previous appearances and special performances in the area, leading to theories that a separate, unannounced event might be on the horizon for those feeling snubbed.
A prominent theory circulating among Kesha enthusiasts suggests a deliberate delay in announcing a specific date due to an alignment with a major cultural event. This speculation points towards the renowned LGBTQ+ event and Mardi Gras parade, a significant annual fixture, hinting at a strategic scheduling choice.
As it stands, Kesha’s Australian leg of her “Tits Out Tour” is set to commence in Brisbane on February 19 at the Riverstage, marking her first official concert in the country for this tour.
Following her Brisbane engagement, the “Right Round” singer will continue her journey, gracing the stage at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena on February 22, before heading to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre for a performance on February 24.
The tour is then scheduled to conclude its Australian run with a final show at Perth’s HPC on February 26, solidifying the current list of confirmed venues for her devoted Australian fanbase.
This tour follows Kesha’s recent successful return to Australia, which included headlining the Australian Open in January and her memorable appearance at the Sydney Mardi Gras in 2020, underlining her strong connection with her Australian audience and recent comeback with her viral single “Joyride.”
