Kesha announces mini Las Vegas residency amid Dr. Luke legal battle

Kesha is headed to Las Vegas.

The multiplatinum pop star is joining the growing list of young pop acts dominating the Strip with a mini-residency this summer, playing a trio of nights at the Wynn Las Vegas.

The 29-year-old will perform her biggest hits at Intrigue Nightclub, the Wynn’s lavish new club, on June 23, June 25 and July 23. Tickets are already on sale.

Kesha’s short stint continues the pop singer’s public emergence in the wake of a legal battle against her onetime mentor and collaborator Dr. Luke. In 2014, she jolted the music industry when she filed a lawsuit against the platinum producer, alleging a decade of sexual, physical and mental abuse. Dr. Luke is responsible for some of her biggest hits, including “Tik Tok,” “Your Love Is My Drug,” “We R Who We R” and “Timber.”

In the suit, Kesha alleges that the years of abuse resulted in an eating disorder and a stint in rehab that sidelined her once white-hot career.

Dr. Luke has denied all the claims and has continued to remain one of pop’s most in-demand hit makers, recently co-writing and producing Jennifer Lopez’s female empowerment anthem “Ain’t Your Mama.”

The dispute received widespread attention earlier this year after a video of the singer breaking down and sobbing in court brought an onslaught of public support from some of the biggest names in pop music.

A New York State Supreme Court judge dismissed Kesha’s counterclaims against the producer and rejected her request to be let out of her contract with Dr. Luke and Sony in April, and a judge in California put the sexual assault case on hold, pending the outcome of a breach-of-contract lawsuit in New York that was brought by Luke, who accuses Kesha of lying about the abuse in order to get out of her contract.

Until an appearance at Coachella earlier this year with Zedd, the singer hadn’t performed in public since the suit was launched.

Last month the singer had her first televised performance since the legal fracas began, performing a moving tribute to Bob Dylan at the Billboard Music Awards. The performance was preceded with days of drama between the singer and the producer, who demanded she not mention him during her appearance onstage or on the red carpet.

Kesha’s booking on Billboard came after an emotional cover of Lady Gaga’s Oscar-nominated song about sexual abuse, “Til It Happens to You,” at a gala for the Humane Society.

Earlier this week the singer helped a fan propose to his boyfriend during her set at Disney World’s Gay Days celebration in Orlando, Fla.; she performed at the Planned Parenthood Federation gala on Thursday and will headline Pittsburgh Pride on Saturday.

Kesha is also slated to play Diplo’s Mad Decent Block Party traveling festival, including the final stop at downtown’s L.A. Center Studios in October.
