Kesha is expected to headline the musical program at the Australian Open in January.

The US pop star has been announced as the main musical performer at the first Grand Slam tennis tournament of 2025.

This unique festival – the first of its kind in the world – promises three days of music towards the end of the sporting competition with a line-up of international musicians that also includes Benson Boone, Kaytranada and Armand Van Helden.

“AO LIVE is an evolution of the AO’s music offering and will provide live entertainment across the county over the 21 days in January,” Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley said. “From performances at Garden Square to DJs at the Grand Slam Oval, the event caters to a variety of musical tastes and is included with every Ground Pass ticket.”

The final three days of entertainment at Melbourne’s John Cain Arena begin on Thursday January 23rd, with Kesha booked for Sunday January 25th – the same day as the women’s final and one day before the men’s final.

Kesha, who had one of the biggest songs of the century so far with her debut single “TikTok,” has enjoyed viral success in recent months with her current single “Joyride.”

The Australian Open will take place from January 6th to 26th, 2025.
