The tour was officially announced on November 8 , 2010 via the artist 's official website . The tour comes months after Kesha toured the United States with Rihanna as the opening act on her Last Girl on Earth and her own promotional tour in the United Kingdom during the Fall of 2010 to support her first studio album , '' Animal '' . During an interview with Gary Graff ( from '' Billboard '' ) Kesha explained her inspiration for the tour , describing it as " a ridiculously fun dance party that will build on the energetic sets she played while opening for Rihanna last summer . " She elaborated , Five concerts in Asia were originally planned for March 2011 . Due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami , the shows were postponed on March 15 , 2011 . The singer responded , " My heart is with Japan right now through this disaster and these hardships . I genuinely do n't think right now would be appropriate timing for me to perform in Japan given the content and the spirit of my show , which is all about feeling exuberant , rowdy , and wild . I plan to bring my party there and to that part of the world when we are all ready to dance and Get $ leazy together again . In the meantime I am going to do everything I can to help relief efforts and I encourage everyone in the world to do the same . " After a successful run in North America , the singer extended her tour into the summer including dates in the United Kingdom and additional dates in the United States . Kesha described the extension saying , " My spring tour sold out so fast , which is amazing , but I want to get to party with errryone . If you are part of my family , my cult of rowdy misfits , come join us ! I ’m pulling out an ass-ton more glitter with blue lipstick to spare and I ’m ready to party with all y’ all all summer long . Sh – 's gon na be hot as a mofo ... Miss this and you be missing the biggest dance party of the year ! " The set list is mainly derived from Kesha 's first album '' Animal '' , and follow-up extended play ( EP ) '' Cannibal '' . Besides tracks from those albums , Kesha incorporated covers of the Beastie Boys song , " ( You Got ta ) Fight for Your Right ( To Party ! ) " to " give the show a more rock 'n' roll edge . " She told Kevin O'Donnell of '' Spin '' , " I 've been on this Iggy Pop kick — he 's just so inspiring to watch as a performer , ... I 'm trying to do something like that , minus the heroin and the stabbing myself part . " The theme of the tour is " to bring the planet an epic dance party ... That 's my mentality with this tour — party as hard as we can and make it as infectious as possible . It 's unlike anything anyone else in pop music is doing . " Visually , the theaters and auditoriums hosting the show will be transformed and presented as " basement rave-ups " . The inspiration came from her earlier life when she was growing up in Tennessee where she would attend parties . To achieve this look , the singer worked with the creative team responsible for Daft Punk 's concerts . The look is described as '' Mad Max '' and " intergalactic spaceship " combination
