In what marks her first major tour since her highly-publicized legal battle with music producer Dr. Luke began, pop singer Kesha has announced new concert dates.
 
Kesha’s brand new headlining tour launches this summer, and it’ll feature new material the 29-year-old star has yet to play on the road. 
 
“Hey, guys! Are you coming to hang this summer with us? We’re going on tour, me and the horse,” Kesha announced Tuesday via an Instagram video. “I’m playing songs you’ve never heard me play before, and I may never play again. [It’s] only a couple shows, so I want to see you there.”
 
An exclusive fan pre-sale for the tour, which kicks off July 23 in Las Vegas, began Tuesday at 1 p.m. CT. The tour includes 17 stops and wraps up Oct. 1 in Los Angeles, Entertainment Weekly reports.
