Pop singer Kesha has announced a tour in support of her upcoming album "Rainbow."
It will be the artist's first solo run since her Warrior Tour in 2013, a delay due in part to a series of allegations and civil actions between the artist, who was born Kesha Sebert, and her onetime producer, Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald. The producer is suing Kesha for defamation after she alleged that he sexually assaulted her. He denies the allegations.
Kesha recently concluded an extended run of dates under the cuss-laden title Kesha and the Creepies: ... the World Tour. But the Rainbow Tour will be a bigger production and will focus on music from her new album, which comes out Aug. 11.
The 21-date tour will see the artist perform at a number of notable venues, foregoing arena-sized stages for more intimate locales. The pop star, whose mother, Pebe Sebert, is a veteran country songwriter, will perform at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn., on Sept. 29, the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York on Oct. 9 and Chicago's Aragon Ballroom on Oct. 18.
After a Halloween gig at the Masonic Auditorium in San Francisco, Kesha will conclude her tour at Los Angeles' Hollywood Palladium on Nov. 1.
