You don’t often get a voice like Rianne Downey’s in a venue as intimate as Jacaranda. But on 24th October, the Belshill-born
Katy Perry is back—and this time, she’s not just lighting up the charts, she’s setting the whole damn arena on fire. The Lifetimes Tour lands in the UK this October, and if you think it’s going to be another glittery pop pitstop, think again.
Since strutting onto the scene in 2008 with One of the Boys, Perry’s racked up more than stats—though sure, 115 billion streams, seven Diamond singles, and a grip on Capitol Records’ throat as their biggest-selling female artist isn’t exactly nothing. But the real story? She’s anthemed a generation. From the bisexual bombshell of “I Kissed A Girl” to the defiant roar of—well—“Roar,” Katy’s always known how to drop a hook that hits like a kiss and a punch at the same time.
Now, after turning Vegas into her own technicolour toybox with PLAY, she’s bringing The Lifetimes Tour to UK shores. Think: big pop energy, unapologetic nostalgia, new fire. Expect the hits—yes, all of them—but don’t expect them dressed up the same. Katy’s older now, sharper, funnier. She’s survived the internet, birthed a human, judged a nation’s singers, and still shows up looking like she invented glitter. This tour isn’t just a victory lap. It’s a reminder she’s still got more moves than your algorithm-fed favourites.
And beyond the music? She’s walking the walk. UNICEF ambassador, LGBTQ+ ally, foundation founder. Perry’s proof you can be bubblegum and have backbone.
So here’s your reminder: this isn’t just a pop concert. It’s a career-defining moment from a woman who turned heartbreak and hedonism into a legacy. Whether you’ve been there since “Hot N Cold” or only clocked her on American Idol, now’s the time to see her where she shines best—live, loud, and larger-than-life.
