Kelly Clarkson said she's not planning on touring right now, but it looks like fans will get a live taste of her new songs very soon.
In a post uploaded on Instagram on June 6, it was revealed that Kelly will be performing at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Festival. Set to occur the weekend of September 22 in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena, The Voice alum will join a lineup of artists like Tim McGraw and Kane Brown as she sings some of her latest songs in front of an audience. What's more, an official press release shared that certain fans can already start buying tickets for the spectacle before they officially become available to the public on June 16 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT.
"MARK 👏 THOSE 👏 CALENDARS 👏," the event's social team captioned the post. "You won’t want to miss this #iHeartFestival lineup! ❤️🔥."
As it's rare to see The Kelly Clarkson Show host sing in a setting other than her daytime TV talk show, folks immediately shouted with excitement in the comments section.
"YESSS!!!!! Cannot wait!!!!!!!!" one person wrote on Instagram. "🔥🔥 I’ll be there!" another exclaimed. "👏🔥❤️," a different follower added.
While Kelly hasn't spoken out about the upcoming appearance, she's been gearing up for her new album Chemistry to drop on June 23. What's more, the American Idol winner continues to drop sneak peeks to her fans via the releases of her recent singles "I Hate Love (feat. Steve Martin)" and "Red Flag Collector."
Before she hits the stage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival though, Kelly will head to Las Vegas to headline her own summer residency. Scheduled to kick off on July 28 and run through August 19, the musician announced in March that she will play a 10-show engagement at the Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood. There, she'll sing some of her new tunes while also rocking out to her classic hits.
We can't wait to see what setlist she comes up with!
