The Lifetimes Tour

**The Lifetimes Tour** was the fifth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry, supporting her 2024 album *143*. It started on April 23, 2025, in Mexico City and ended on December 7, 2025, in Abu Dhabi. The tour included 84 shows and was her first tour in seven years, since *Witness: The Tour*.

## Development 
### Announcements 
Katy Perry announced the Lifetimes Tour on September 25, 2024, during a live appearance on the Australian morning show *Sunrise*, where she also revealed the first five Australian dates. Ticket pre-sales and general sales were announced at the same time. In April 2025, while flying into space on Blue Origin NS‑31, Perry unveiled the tour’s set list on a butterfly‑shaped piece of paper.

### Shows 
Katy Perry added more shows in Sydney, Brisbane, and Adelaide after high demand, with the first two Adelaide dates selling out in under an hour. On October 3, 2024, she announced additional shows in Melbourne, Perth, and Adelaide.

On November 11, she confirmed that the tour would expand to South America, with concerts in Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires scheduled for the following September. Two days later, she announced shows in Brazil and Mexico, later adding four more dates in Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara after the first shows sold out. The United Kingdom dates were revealed on November 17, 2024, with £1 from each ticket supporting the Music Venue Trust. On November 21, she added a second London show. That same month, concerts in Canada were announced, along with an extra Buenos Aires date due to demand.

Katy Perry announced eight European tour dates on December 9, 2024, later adding two more shows in Paris due to demand. She followed this with new dates in Bologna on December 16, Munich on January 22, 2025, and Lyon on January 29. On January 27, she revealed the U.S. dates and added a second show in Toronto. Perry announced a Belfast concert on February 6, followed by a second Belfast date on February 14. She added a Hanover show on February 19, and the next day announced what were billed as the final Australian dates. Spain dates were confirmed on February 24.

Further additions included two shows in Hangzhou, China, on April 23, 2025, and three more Asian concerts announced by AEG Presents. On May 30, Perry added two Brazil dates in Curitiba and Brasília for September 16 and 19. She later announced a third Shanghai show and a second Saitama date on July 16, followed the next day by a new concert in Haikou, China.

### Supporting acts 
Katy Perry announced several supporting acts for the Lifetimes Tour throughout 2025. Rebecca Black was confirmed on March 9. On April 23, Perry revealed that Mariana BO and Midnight Generation would open the shows in Mexico. In June, the Australian duo Kinder was announced for the Australian leg, followed in July by Cheat Codes for select North American dates. On September 26, Perry confirmed the opening acts for the UK and Europe, including Goldie Boutilier, Au/Ra, and Becky Hill.

## Production 
The stage for the tour includes 31 uniquely arranged LED panels that display animated scenes of Perry’s mission to free butterflies and restore her damaged planet. An infinity‑shaped runway fills much of the arena and is surrounded by dynamic lighting that highlights Perry and her dancers. The show features large props such as a flying butterfly and a 10‑foot orb that opens and closes with Perry and ten dancers inside. Acrobats perform on metal flower structures, and Perry uses a glowing saber pole during a battle‑themed segment.
