Katy Perry is ready to take the stage again! The pop superstar has announced her highly anticipated Lifetimes World Tour 2025, which will kick off on April 23, 2025, in Mexico City and include stops across North America, Australia, South America, and Europe. After her lengthy hiatus from touring, Perry promises fans can expect a spectacular and energetic experience.
During interviews leading up to the tour, Perry excitedly teased fans with glimpses of what is to come. "This show will be full of BPM [beats per minute]," she told People. "So I suggest wearing some sensible shoes and staying hydrated because I think there’s going to be a whole heck of a lot of us just dancing the night away." Her vision for the Lifetimes Tour is nothing short of extravagant, likening it to a "Disneyland-on-wheels type tour."
Concert-goers can expect dazzling costume changes, dynamic acts, and plenty of opportunities to sing along to their favorite tracks. "There’s no bad seat in the house. I’m going to get close to everyone at some point," Perry promised, reassuring fans of her commitment to creating memorable interactions during the shows.
Not only will the tour feature some of Perry's biggest hits, but she has also indicated she plans to dip deep within her discography. "I’ll be introducing people to a few new songs, and I want them to feel the nostalgia," she shared with Rolling Stone, highlighting the blend of classic favorites and fresh tunes from her recent album, 143. "It’s such a smorgasbord. I have a responsibility to the audience to give them...create those moments," she added.
The tour's U.S. leg will commence on May 7, 2025, starting at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. Perry will traverse the country with multiple dates, including major cities like Chicago, New York, and Miami, before heading to Australia and returning to complete more North American dates. This extensive tour marks Perry's first headlining concert tour since 2018, allowing her to connect with fans once again on the road.
While preparing for the tour, Perry has reflected on her personal transformation and the significance of this moment. "I'm 40. I have a family. I have a whole other world outside of this," she noted, expressing her awareness of the balanced demands of motherhood and performance. She also emphasized her dedication to physical wellness, often incorporating meditation as part of her pre-show routine: "We always do it at 6:00 p.m. before the shows," she explained. "It’s even become an important practice for working moms like me. It’s been my mom hack for the whole time. I mean, it feels like you get a two-hour nap in 20 minutes!"
Perry’s Lifetimes Tour is not merely about the celebration of her hits; it is also about embracing the love and joy found within her new music. "When I made the record, it was a celebration of becoming a mother and all the love and clichés true with it. It is a freeing, dance-heavy, celebratory record. And this tour will feel the same—an upbeat, dance party atmosphere with all their favorite songs plus some surprises," she indicated, ensuring everyone understands it will be everything from nostalgic favorites to vibrant new tracks.
For fans eager to secure their spots at the show, ticket sales are expected to be highly competitive. Pre-sale access begins January 28, 2025, with the general sale set for January 31, 2025. With the variety of ticketing options available, including exclusive presales for Citi and Verizon customers, fans should prepare to act fast.
The scope of the tour encompasses 75 shows—an impressive feat showcasing both Perry's dedication and popularity. From the bright lights of the entertainment capitals of Mexico to sold-out arenas across the U.S., Perry's global audience eagerly anticipates the return of the star they’ve loved for years.
With high demand and excitement, Katy Perry’s Lifetimes World Tour 2025 promises to deliver the kind of experience fans crave—energetic, memorable, and filled with the music they can’t get enough of. Prepare yourself to join the fun as Perry makes her grand comeback to arenas worldwide!
