Ke$ha concert moved to Hollywood Palladium

Worldwide pop superstar Ke$ha announced her “Get $leazy” tour to great fanfare last week. The exciting news created a clamor for tickets and record-breaking pre-sales. Due to overwhelming demand from her Los Angeles fans, Ke$ha’s area concert has been moved from The Wiltern to the larger Hollywood Palladium. The show date remains the same: Friday, May 6th.

Tickets for the Hollywood Palladium are on sale to the general public now at Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com. All Wiltern tickets will be honored at the door.

Ke$ha, who recently won the MTV EMA for Best New Act, is hitting the road for her first North American headlining tour in support of the upcoming release of Cannibal (RCA Records / Kemosabe Entertainment). This is the highly anticipated companion to her platinum selling debut album Animal. It will hit stores November 22nd and will be made available for sale separately, as well as bundled with Animal in a special deluxe repackage called Animal + Cannibal.

Ke$ha traveled the U.S this summer on her first arena tour with Rihanna, kicking off in Los Angeles where the LA Times called her a "...very charismatic artiste..." and the New York Times called her performance "purely joyous". Ke$ha will be headlining her first European tour in December, making stops in London, Russia and many other major cities and countries.

2010 has been an incredible year for Ke$ha, less than 10 months after the #1 debut of Animal in January 2010, it has been certified platinum and sold over 2 million units worldwide. Ke$ha is nominated for two American Music Awards, Artist of The Year and Pop/Rock – Favorite Female Artist.

Ke$ha debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single “We R Who We R”. Ke$ha is the first female artist to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since Britney Spears did with “3” in 2009 and the first artist since Eminem’s debut with “Not Afraid” back in May. Last month Ke$ha became the 11th solo female artist to collect at least four Billboard Hot 100 Top 10s from a debut album when her current single "Take It Off" catapulted up the chart. She has sold 14 million combined tracks and ringtones in the U.S alone to date and 17 million worldwide, including her smash breakthrough single "TiK ToK' which has sold over 8.5 million combined units. Ke$ha is an international powerhouse, Animal has been certified Gold or Platinum in six markets and is the biggest selling debut album from an international female in 2010 in the UK. Ke$ha, who was just nominated for 2 EMA's, has sold nearly 4 million tracks outside of the U.S, and nearly 1 million albums.
