Global pop superstar Kesha has touched down in Sydney, turning heads in a sparkly Playboy singlet as she geared up to headline the Australian-first Mighty Hoopla festival on Saturday night before launching into her Tits Out Australian tour.

The annual outdoor music festival — Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ event normally held in London — has made its way to Bondi Beach for one glitter-filled night.

Festival-goers will also be treated to performances from Becky Hill, Countess Luann, Delta Goodrem and Jessica Mauboy.

After the Hoopla, the TiK ToK singer will kick off her national tour, performing in Melbourne on Sunday, Adelaide on Tuesday, and finishing at Perth’s HPC in Mt Claremont for a sold-out show on Thursday.

Unfortunately for Perth Lynx fans, Kesha’s concert has clashed with game one of the WNBL grand finale, meaning the girls won’t be able to host at home.

The tour is the 38-year-old’s first time headlining in Australia in more than a decade, celebrating her chart-topping 2025 album (Period), which debuted at number one on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart.

Kesha described her show as “an unapologetic party” of liberation and self-expression.

The multi-award-winning artist is expected to perform her biggest hits, including ‘Timber’, ‘Die Young’ and ‘Your Love Is My Drug’.

With more than 40 million social media followers and over three billion music streams, Kesha remains one of pop music’s most powerful voices since her breakout 2009 feature on Flo Rida’s Right Round.
