Kesha Gets Up Close With Fans During “C U Next Tuesday” on Her Freedom Tour
Kesha brought her Freedom Tour to Connecticut on Saturday night, turning Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville into another loud, glitter-filled stop on a tour that has been built around both celebration and reclaiming her story.
Among the songs that made it into the night’s set was “C U Next Tuesday,” a track from Kesha’s 2010 debut album Animal. A video from the performance shows the singer delivering the song to a packed room of fans, giving one of the older tracks in her catalog another moment in the spotlight.
The performance came late in the main set, after Kesha had already taken the crowd through songs including “TiK ToK,” “Only Love Can Save Us Now,” “Warrior,” “Crazy Kids,” “C’Mon,” “Thinking of You,” “Blow,” “Sleazy,” “BOY CRAZY.,” “Cannibal,” “Backstabber,” “Take It Off,” “ATTENTION!,” “JOYRIDE.,” “ORIGAMI!,” “YIPPEE-KI-YAY.,” “Timber,” “RED FLAG.,” “Whip It” and “Dinosaur.”
“C U Next Tuesday” Still Has a Place in Kesha’s Set
What’s interesting about the Connecticut performance is where Kesha has placed the song.
“C U Next Tuesday” comes near the end of the main set, after the biggest stretch of the concert has already happened. She then moves into “Good Old Days,” followed by “Die Young,” before closing out the night with “CATHEDRAL.,” “Praying,” “Your Love Is My Drug” and “We R Who We R.” 
At recent Freedom Tour performances, “C U Next Tuesday” has been presented as an acoustic moment, including the August 21 show at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts, where Kesha performed it with her friend Kyle on guitar.
That gives the song a very different place in the show from the high-energy opening numbers. After spending much of the night surrounded by big production, choreography and some of her most recognizable pop hits, Kesha gets a chance to strip things back.
The Freedom Tour Is About More Than the Hits
The Connecticut concert is part of Kesha’s 25-date North American Freedom Tour, which was announced as a celebration of the next chapter in her life and career.
When the tour was announced, Kesha described it as being about “what comes after” the difficult experiences she had lived through. She framed freedom not simply as leaving something behind, but as discovering how those experiences shaped the person she became.
That idea has become part of the way the current live show is being presented.
The set doesn’t ignore the songs that made Kesha famous. Quite the opposite. “TiK ToK,” “Cannibal,” “Take It Off,” “Die Young,” “Your Love Is My Drug” and “We R Who We R” are all still there.
But they’re being performed alongside newer material, including “Only Love Can Save Us Now,” “BOY CRAZY.,” “ATTENTION!,” “JOYRIDE.,” “ORIGAMI!” and “YIPPEE-KI-YAY.”
The result is a show that moves between different parts of Kesha’s career rather than pretending one period didn’t happen.
The Connecticut Crowd Got the Full Kesha Set
The Mohegan Sun performance ran through roughly 20 songs and included several medleys that allowed Kesha to move quickly through her catalog.
“Warrior,” “Crazy Kids” and “C’Mon” were performed together, while “ATTENTION!” and “JOYRIDE.” shared a section of the set. “YIPPEE-KI-YAY.” was paired with “Timber,” and “RED FLAG.” flowed into “Whip It” and “Dinosaur.”
She also included “Good Old Days,” the Macklemore collaboration, before moving into “Die Young.”
Then came the final stretch: “CATHEDRAL.,” “Praying,” “Your Love Is My Drug” and “We R Who We R.”
For longtime fans, that’s a pretty broad snapshot of Kesha’s career in one night.
Kesha’s Connecticut Stop Came During a Busy Run of Shows
The Mohegan Sun concert wasn’t an isolated stop. Kesha had performed at the Xfinity Center in Mansfield, Massachusetts, the night before, on August 21, and the tour continues with dates across the United States. Ticketmaster lists upcoming Freedom Tour performances in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana later this month.
The Connecticut date also featured Erika Jayne as a special guest, according to Mohegan Sun’s official event listing. (
So while a short video of “C U Next Tuesday” might be what catches people’s attention online, the bigger picture is Kesha taking a large catalog and reshaping it for a new chapter.
She can still give fans “TiK ToK.”
She can still bring out “We R Who We R.”
And she can still make room for a song from Animal that was released more than 15 years ago.
That’s what makes the current Freedom Tour interesting. Kesha isn’t trying to separate the woman she is now from the artist she was then. She’s bringing all of it into the same room.
And on Saturday night in Connecticut, “C U Next Tuesday” was one more reminder that some of those old songs still have plenty of life left in them.
