Witness: The Tour

**Withness: The Tour** was the fourth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. It was to support her fifth studio album, Witness. It started on September 19, 2017 in Montreal, Canada and ended on August 21, 2018 in Auckland, New Zealand.

## Witness: Coming Home

On March 13, 2018, Perry announced “Witness: Coming Home”, a benefit concert held in her hometown of Santa Barbara, California, to support residents recovering from the 2017 California wildfires and 2018 Southern California mudflows. She partnered with the Santa Barbara Foundation, the 93108 Fund, and The 805 UndocuFund, all of which provide grants and assistance to affected community members in the region.

### Notes

- "Wide Awake" was not performed during the first shows. Moreover, on selected dates, Perry performed "Save as Draft" and "Hey Hey Hey" before "Power" and "Part of Me" respectively.
- On October 6, 2017 in New York City, Perry performed an acoustic version of "Part of Me" before "Power", rather than later in the show as a dedication to her fans for coming after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
- On selected dates in South America, Perry performed "Unconditionally" in place of "Thinking of You". Moreover, during the concert in Rio de Janeiro, Perry dedicated the performance of "Power" to Marielle Franco, who died the week before, and called Franco's relatives onstage to express her condolences.
- From the first show in Saitama onwards, Perry performed "Into Me You See" in place of "Thinking of You".
- On selected dates, Perry performed "Pendulum" before "Firework", as part of the encore.
- On June 22, 2018 in Manchester, Perry performed "By the Grace of God" in place of "Into Me You See" as a dedication to the city due to the Manchester Arena bombing. She also dedicated "Firework" to the 22 victims of the attack.
- On June 28, 2018 in Barcelona, Perry performed a cover of "One of Us" by Joan Osborne in place of "Into Me You See".
