Pop Icon Kesha Touches Down in Sydney for Major Festival and Tour
Global pop sensation Kesha has made a sparkling arrival in Sydney, turning heads in a glittering Playboy singlet as she prepares to headline the inaugural Australian edition of the Mighty Hoopla festival this Saturday night. This marks the beginning of a week-long celebration that will see her launch into her highly anticipated Tits Out Australian tour immediately after the festival.
Mighty Hoopla Makes Australian Debut at Bondi Beach
The Mighty Hoopla festival, Europe's largest LGBTQ+ event typically held in London, has made its glitter-filled journey to Bondi Beach for a single spectacular night. This outdoor music festival represents a significant moment for Australia's entertainment scene, bringing an internationally renowned celebration of music and diversity to local shores.
Festival attendees will be treated to an impressive lineup beyond Kesha's headline performance. The event will feature performances from acclaimed artists including Becky Hill, Countess Luann, Delta Goodrem, and Jessica Mauboy, creating a diverse musical experience that spans multiple genres and styles.
National Tour Schedule and Perth Conflict
Following the Bondi Beach festival, Kesha will immediately commence her national tour across Australia. The tour schedule includes performances in Melbourne on Sunday, Adelaide on Tuesday, and concludes with a sold-out show at Perth's HPC in Mt Claremont on Thursday.
Unfortunately, the Perth concert has created scheduling conflict for local basketball fans. Kesha's performance coincides with game one of the WNBL grand finale, meaning the Perth Lynx women's basketball team will be unable to host their championship game at their home venue due to the scheduling overlap.
Kesha's Return to Australian Headlining
This tour represents a significant milestone for the 38-year-old artist, marking her first time headlining in Australia in over a decade. The tour celebrates her chart-topping 2025 album (Period), which debuted at number one on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart, demonstrating her continued relevance and popularity in the music industry.
Kesha has described her upcoming shows as "an unapologetic party" focused on liberation and self-expression. Audiences can expect to hear her biggest hits during the performances, including fan favorites such as 'Timber', 'Die Young', and 'Your Love Is My Drug'.
Enduring Pop Influence and Legacy
With more than 40 million social media followers and over three billion music streams across platforms, Kesha remains one of pop music's most influential voices. Her career breakthrough came in 2009 with her feature on Flo Rida's hit single 'Right Round', and she has since evolved into a multi-award-winning artist with a dedicated global following.
The combination of the Mighty Hoopla festival debut and Kesha's national tour represents a major moment for Australia's live music scene, bringing international festival culture and a celebrated pop icon to audiences across the country during this late February 2026 period.
