Most people take vacations to escape the rigors and tedium of repetitive everyday life. While traveling cross-country or even to the other side of the world can make you feel sufficiently removed, if Kesha has it her way you'll feel like you're on a completely different and helluh gay planet when you vacation with her.
The pop star is giving 2,500 fans the chance to turn the dreary month of February into taste of summer with a Caribbean excursion. Along with Sixthman, experts on music festivals at sea, the "Praying" singer has announced Kesha's Weird & Wonderful Rainbow Ride. Sailing from Tampa to Nassau February 17-21 aboard the Norwegian Pearl, the cruise brings together an enviable list of queer talent.

"Imagine if Woodstock was gay as fuck, happy and free and the funnest sleepover ever AND THEN I kidnapped you all and we took it to the Caribbean," said Kesha in a release. "I'm especially excited to have so many of my LGBTQ friends and supporters with us, so you know this shit is gonna be fun! Joining us as well are amazing supporting entertainers like Big Freedia, Girl Talk, Matt and Kim, Betty Who, Superfruit, Jonathan Van Ness, Wrabel, and of course queens (as seen on RuPaul's Drag Race and beyond) including Bob the Drag Queen, Detox, and Thorgy Thor. We are going to be living our best life on a motherfuckin' boat!"
