Presale tickets become available on Wednesday at 10 a.m. local time before the general sale opens to all fans on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. More information is available atKesha’s website.

Released earlier this month,Gag Orderfinds the “Tik Tok” performer in an especially introspective space, as she sings about mental health and past romantic relationships. Throughout the record, she also seems to allude to her ongoing legal battle with ex-collaboratorLukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald.

In a recent interview withRolling Stone, she referred to the new album as “the most intimate thing I’ve ever created.”

“I really dug into some of my uglier emotions and sides of myself that are less fun,” Kesha told the outlet. “It’s scary being vulnerable. The fact that I have compiled an entire record of these emotions, of anger, of insecurity, of anxiety, of grief, of pain, of regret, all of that is so nerve-racking — but it’s also so healing.”
