Kesha To Perform At FOLD Festival

Kesha is set to headline this year's FOLD (Freak Out Let's Dance) Festival at Martha Clara Vineyard in Riverhead. The festival, brought to the North Fork by Nile Rodgers for its second year, will be held August 12 through August 14. Additional acts include DNCE featuring Joe Jonas, Bette Midler, Earth, Wind & Fire, Chic featuring Nile Rodgers, KC & The Sunshine Band, Village People, Doug E. Fresh, DJ Cassidy, and more. Kesha's breakthrough came in early 2009 after appearing on rapper Flo Rida's number-one single "Right Round." Her debut album, Animal, and her first extended play, "Cannibal," were released in 2010. Kesha's music and image propelled her to immediate commercial success, with Animal debuting as the number-one album in the United States. She also achieved two number-one singles, "Tik Tok" and "We R Who We R," and a string of top-ten singles from the album and its re-release. Influenced by various genres and artists, Kesha primarily draws inspiration from music of the 1980s. Madonna, Queen, and Beck have been cited as instrumental to her music.
