We recently learned that Kesha would make an appearance at Coachella 2016, but a performance during the festival was not confirmed, we do have news of the singer's return to the stage after her very public and emotional legal battle against producer Dr. Luke. Dylan Fest, a two-day concert full of Bob Dylan tribute performances organized by The Best Fest, has revealed its lineup, with Kesha on the list!
Dylan Fest will take place on May 23 and 24 in Nashville, TN at Ryman Auditorium. May 24, 2016 is Bob Dylan's 75th birthday.
The news of Kesha's return to the stage came in the form of the new Dylan Fest poster posted to Best Fest's Twitter account (via Pitchfork / UPROXX):
