Kesha and Macklemore will unite for a co-headlining North American tour in summer 2018. The nine-week, 30-date trek kicks off June 6th in Phoenix, Arizona and concludes August 5th in Tampa, Florida.

A pre-sale for U.S. tickets runs from Wednesday, December 13th at noon local time through Thursday, December 14th at 10 p.m. local time through the Citi Private Pass program. General tickets go on sale Friday, December 15th at noon local time via Live Nation. One dollar from each ticket purchase will benefit charity: Kesha will donate her proceeds to the anti-sexual assault organization RAINN (Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network). Macklemore will contribute to social and racial justice organization M Plus1.

The duo announced the "Adventures of Kesha and Macklemore Tour" with a goofy promo video. In the clip, Macklemore outlines his plan to become a "rollerblading coach" before Kesha shows up and convinces him to team up for the jaunt. 



Both artists issued new LPs in 2017: Kesha released Rainbow, her third album and first in five years; and Macklemore released the solo project Gemini, his second record without longtime musical partner Ryan Lewis.
