American pop star Kesha has today been announced as the musical headliner for next year’s Australian Open.

The entertainment offering at January’s tennis event will next year be called AO Live, with international artists Benson Boone, DJ and producer Kaytranada and house music legend Armand Van Helden also on the line-up for the festival that spans three separate days.

Kesha’s performance marks her first show in Australia since she played the Sydney Mardi Gras in early 2020. The singer, who had one of the biggest songs of the 21st century with debut single TikTok, has enjoyed viral success in recent months with her current single Joyride.
