Karol G
A number of solo pop stars have the cocktail of traits and skills required to fill a stadium. Only one of them, however, has the distinction of being the first Latina to headline a solo stadium tour, selling out every stop in the process. That honor sits with Karol G, who is about to embark on a yearlong, 63-stadium trek around the world with a very specific ambition: reach the same international heights with her most distinctly Colombian record yet. The run supports last year’s Tropicoqueta, which saw her expand her úrbano-rooted sound into a reverent tribute to the Latin music she grew up with: cumbia, vallenato, merengue, salsa, and more. —Hattie Lindert
KeiyaA
To announce her tour around the U.S. and Europe, KeiyaA released a cheeky video of herself messily drinking a bottle of milk and dancing to Gucci Mane. It perfectly tied together the themes of her 2025 play, Milk Thot, along with her forthcoming album, Hooke’s Law, which explores sexual freedom, depression, and the catharsis of leaning into chaos. Its metallic beats, Auto-Tuned vocals, and vulnerable lyricism will almost certainly make for a complex and intimate experience on stage this summer. —Kiana Mickles
Kesha
After a decade-long battle with her former producer Dr. Luke, Kesha dropped her first independent album, . (pronounced “period”). The project bottles up the kind of hedonism that can only follow great hardship, taking cues from country, disco, and the very recession pop she was once the glitter-covered face of. Kesha will be supporting its release around North America through August, with fellow troublemakers Chromeo and Pitbull joining on select dates. “This summer we are reclaiming our bodies, our voices, and our joy,” Kesha wrote in a statement. “We have survived. Now we get to be free. Let’s be free together.” —Kiana Mickles
