Ke$ha will spend 2011 getting "$leazy" across the U.S. and Canada. Her first North American headlining tour, the Get $leazy Tour, kicks off in Portland on February 15, 2011 and wraps up with a show in Los Angeles on May 6.

The outing will support her upcoming release Cannibal, which drops on November 22. That companion album to her debut Animal has already spawned the huge hit "We R Who We R," which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 last week.

The singer, still celebrating her MTV EMA win for Best New Act, will also release a deluxe edition combining her first two records, Animal + Cannibal, on November 22. Beginning Wednesday (November 10), fans who pre-order Cannibal or the deluxe package from www.keshasparty.com will be able to buy tickets for the tour ahead of the general public, who will be able to snag their seats on November 19.

Ke$ha spent the summer opening for Rihanna, and she has promised to give fans another dose of her glitter-soaked pop on Cannibal.

"This year has been carnivorous and life-changing. I have my rowdy, gorgeous fans to thank for taking me on the ride of a lifetime," she said in a statement. "My only goal with this record is to keep them dancing. The songs on Cannibal were made to inspire people to ignore any hate or judgment and be themselves unapologetically. It's the perfect companion to Animal and I hope you guys like it. And if you don't like it — bite me."
