On July 1, 2025, pop provocateur Kesha and glam-rock revivalists Scissor Sisters kicked off their high-energy “Tits Out Tour” in West Valley City, Utah. The co-headlining tour marks a milestone for both acts—supporting Kesha’s sixth studio album Period, and heralding Scissor Sisters’ first major return to the stage in over a decade. With an eclectic supporting lineup and a message of joy, identity, and connection, the tour is being hailed as one of the year’s most colorful and celebratory live events.
Period, released on July 4 via Kesha’s own label, Kesha Records, reflects her unfiltered creative control and genre-defying sensibilities. Described as a spirited mix of electropop, hip-hop, and glam rock, the album includes standout tracks such as “Joyride,” “Yippee-Ki-Yay” featuring T-Pain, and the fan-favorite “Boy Crazy.” Critics have lauded the project for its audacity and humor. The Guardian called it a “smart, funny return to her hedonistic hot-mess persona,” highlighting Kesha’s enduring knack for turning chaos into catharsis.
The tour also celebrates the reemergence of Scissor Sisters, now performing as a trio consisting of Jake Shears, Babydaddy, and Del Marquis. Known for their theatricality and queer-forward style, the band has been largely inactive since 2013. Their participation in the “Tits Out Tour” not only commemorates the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album but also reconnects them with a loyal fan base eager for their flamboyant live presence. Their surprise performance at Glastonbury 2025, which featured cameos by Ian McKellen, Beth Ditto, and Jessie Ware, further stoked excitement.
Adding fresh energy to the lineup are rising stars Slayyyter and Rose Gray, both of whom bring a hyperpop edge and queer-inclusive ethos that align with the tour’s themes. At the Madison Square Garden stop in New York City, Dutch Eurodance legends Vengaboys will also join for a one-night-only appearance, adding retro flair to an already exuberant bill.
Beyond the music, the “Tits Out Tour” aims to foster community and authenticity. In a nod to connection and inclusivity, Kesha has partnered with the dating app Feeld to create “open-hearted” spaces at her concerts, inviting fans of all identities and orientations to engage freely and safely. The initiative underscores a broader movement in live entertainment toward more intentional and welcoming environments.
North American dates run through August 2025, with a European leg scheduled for spring 2026—Kesha’s first full European tour since 2017. While each artist brings their distinct sound and aesthetic, the collaborative spirit of the tour underscores a shared message: empowerment through expression, joy through performance.
For fans, the “Tits Out Tour” is more than a concert series—it’s a celebration of resilience, identity, and reinvention. It captures two acts at pivotal points in their careers, using the stage not just for entertainment, but for liberation.
