Kesha at the Albert Hall, Manchester.

By Christina Sylvester.

Pop icon Kesha brought an intimate show packed with fun to Manchester's Albert Hall, to incredible reception, well deserved with the amazing show she delivered.

Kesha rose to fame in the early 2000s with multiple chart topping hits that contributed to the soundtrack of the era. In 2025, she's been through a lot since, but she's still got it. The setlist began with "FREEDOM", followed by the classic "TiK ToK". The Albert Hall was full of excitement as we moved into "Cannibal". Kesha then shouted "Who wants to get naked?", while her dancers adorned the stage wearing gimp masks. People actually threw their underwear onto the stage for "Take It Off", which we never expected to see, but the night was just getting started.

For "Your Love is My Drug", we saw Kesha on guitar, while the backdrop displayed male genitalia in a drug/acid colour way. The show was definitely NSFW, but the crowd ate it up. We always appreciate an outfit change, and Kesha provided us with multiple looks throughout, splitting the set up into parts. She also made the exciting announcement that she has a brand new record coming under Kesha records - "Did I mention I'm a free fucking woman?". After a decade long legal battle with Dr. Luke, Kesha references that she's now free, and thanks everyone for supporting her as an independent artist.

"Hate Me Harder" came next on the setlist, an emotional song before "Blow". The night came to a close with the iconic "Die Young". Delivering a performance unlike any other, Kesha's back on our ones to watch list, and we're excited for the things to come. We'll be keeping an ear out for that new record, and Kesha will be returning to the UK later this year to play larger venues and bring even more fun.
