Kesha has it all, from nostalgic hits to groundbreaking achievements, with three UK number ones, seven top ten singles and two top ten albums.
In more recent years, the artist has used her platform to uplift marginalised voices such as the LGBTQIA+ community.
She has a great respect for ‘Animals’ (her fans) and the fluffy kind too, as in 2020 she launched ‘Kesha Rose Beauty’ her cosmetics line which even received a shoutout from PETA as it joined their ‘Beauty Without Bunnies’ program.
The ‘House Of Kesha/ Live In The UK Tour’ visits three mighty UK venues including O2 Academy in Glasgow and Mighty Hoopla in London as well as Manchester next summer.
When Sebert last visited thirteen years ago she made the O2 Apollo her home for the night, in 2025 however it’s the landmark music venue Manchester Albert Hall who will be hosting the pop titan on 30 May.
With Kesha in residence, Albert Hall, it’s safe to say that… this place about to blow!
