Kesha concert chronology

The Warrior Tour is the on-going second headlining concert tour by American recording artist Kesha, in support of her sophomore studio album, Warrior. The tour vists parts of North America, Europe, and select places of Asia. The tour kicked off in Boston, Massachusetts on May 23, 2013 at the Comcast Center. After the first North American leg, the tour then continues it's trek around Europe in July 2013. The tour then comes back to North America for another leg in August and September 2013. The tour then plays a couple shows in Asia in October 2013. The first North American leg, with the exception of June 8, 2013 and June 29, 2013, was co-headlined with Pitbull and referred to as the 2013 North American Tour. Many shows of the tour are a part of festivals including Live at the Marquee in Cork, Ireland, the Wireless Festival in London, England, and the Illinois State Fair in Springfield, Illinois.

Background and development

In late March, Kesha and American rapper Pitbull announced that they will tour North America together on their 2013 North American Tour. The joint tour was officially announced on March 22, 2013, but the two hinted at the tour on March 21, 2013 via Twitter. Shortly after tickets were available for the duo's summer tour, Kesha announced a separate tour that would visit Europe and other places she didn't visit with Pitbull. The tickets for the European leg of the tour went on-sale shortly after the dates were announced. A couple weeks later, on May 13, 2013, North American dates were added to the tour. Kesha announced the pre-sale password for the North American dates via Twitter after the fourth episode of her television show, Kesha: My Crazy Beautiful Life, aired on May 16, 2013. The tickets went on sale to the general public on May 17, 2013. Leading up to the tour, Kesha has been using the website Mobio Insider to connect with her fans and give them details about the tour. Kesha has been promoting the tour mainly through her Twitter and Facebook accounts. Aside from the social media promotion, Kesha has also promoted the tour through the application, Blippar. When scanning Kesha's symbol, fans can access many special features including the chance to win tickets to any of the dates on the North American leg. Many of the dates are a part of festivals and fairs including the Live at the Marquee Festival in Cork, Ireland, the Wireless Festival in London, England, the Illinois State Fair in Springfield, Illinois, and a few others.

Broadcasts and recordings

On June 21, 2013, the television network, E!, announced that the network would broadcast a show from one of the co-headlining dates Kesha was on with Pitbull. The show would be broadcasted as a part of E!'s Inside Track Summer Concert Series. The series is a collaboration with Live Nation.[1] The network filmed the show in Detroit, Michigan at The Palace of Auburn Hills on June 7, 2013. The recording was aired as the first installment of the series on June 21, 2013. To promote the broadcasting, E! interviewed Kesha an hour before the show at The Palace of Auburn Hills. In the interview, Kesha conversed with the interviewer about her favorite and least favorite parts of the tour, costumes she wears for the tour, and her golden tooth that she has from an accident at a bar.[1] E! also interviewed Kesha's stage manager, Justin De Meulenaere, before the show.[2] Meulenaere, who is also known as "Boot", is most known for his work with Kesha on her previous concert tour, the Get Sleazy Tour.
