Kesha Postpones Dallas Show Due to Weather, Asks Fans To Come Back Next Night: ‘Let’s Party Tomorrow’

Kesha was forced to postpone her show at Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion on Tuesday night (July 8) due to the threat of severe weather. The singer made the announcement on her Instagram Story, telling fans that her T–s Out date in the city would be pushed back by one day out of concern for their safety.

“I wanted to say thank you for coming out to support an independent artist,” she wrote. “I have been so excited for tonight and to celebrate my freedom and go t–s out with all of you, but due to the weather and what yall here in Texas have been facing, I have to put your safety first. My heart is with you Texas. I’m so sorry that I can’t play this show tonight because of the weather and for all of your safety.”

A severe thunderstorm warning and flash flood warnings were in effect in North Texas on Tuesday night, with heavy rains expected. The intense downpours came less than a week after a storm caused catastrophic flooding along Texas’ Guadalupe River, killing at least 110 people so far — including 27 from the all-girls Christian summer camp Camp Mystic — in an area around four hours from the Dallas metro area; at press time more than 160 people were still missing in the floods.

But, due to the devastation wrought by that storm and out of an abundance of caution, Kesha said she was planning to wait 24 hours and give it another go on Wednesday night (July 9). “But I’m going to stay here in your beautiful city and come back here tomorrow and would love to play for all of you tomorrow night,” the singer wrote. “All of your tickets will be honored and I’m so sorry. Get home safe, let’s party tomorrow.”

The venue also announced the show postponement on Instagram, writing, “Your safety is our top priority. While we had hoped we could get a show in for you tonight, mother nature had other plans. As the storm is moving through slower than anticipated and the lightning isn’t letting up, we have made the decision to POSTPONE tonight’s show until TOMORROW, July 9th. Hold on to your tickets as they will be honored for the new date.”

Among the many Texas families impacted by the deadly flooding over the July 4 holiday weekend was Fort Worth native country singer Pat Green, who said on Monday that his younger brother John was swept away by the flooding, along with his wife and their two children.

The next date on Kesha’s joint tour with Scissor Sisters is slated to hit the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Woodlands, TX on Thursday (July 10).
