Pop superstar Katy Perry has officially announced her return to the stage with The Lifetimes Tour, following the release of her sixth studio album, 143. The tour is set to kick off in June 2025, starting in Australia, marking her first major tour in seven years.
The Lifetimes Tour to Start in Australia
Perry revealed on social media that the first leg of The Lifetimes Tour will take place in Australia, beginning in June 2025. The tour will include performances in major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, with the possibility of more international dates to be announced soon. Perry expressed her excitement for the tour, calling 143 a celebration and inviting fans to join her on this musical journey.
Australian dates confirmed for The Lifetimes Tour 2025:
June 9 – Sydney @ Qudos Bank Arena
June 12 & 13 – Melbourne @ Rod Laver Arena
June 17 – Brisbane @ Brisbane Entertainment Centre
This will be Perry’s first live tour since her 2018 Witness Tour, which traveled across several continents and was highly successful. Fans are eagerly awaiting this new tour, which promises a mix of new tracks and iconic hits from her previous albums.
Release of 143 Sparks Anticipation
143, Katy Perry’s latest album, has garnered significant attention since its release. Featuring collaborations with well-known artists such as 21 Savage and Kim Petras, the album blends pop elements with Perry’s signature style. The title 143, which is commonly used to signify I Love You, represents the emotional core of the album. Perry has described the album as a personal project, with songs focusing on love, self-expression, and empowerment.
However, the album has not been without controversy. Perry faced criticism for continuing her collaboration with Dr. Luke, a music producer who has been involved in long-standing legal disputes with artist Kesha over allegations of abuse. Despite the criticism, Perry defended her decision, maintaining that her focus was on the music.
Additionally, the lead single from the album, Woman’s World, has sparked debates regarding its portrayal of feminism. Some critics argued that the song’s message was oversimplified, while others praised it for addressing important social issues. Perry responded to the backlash by clarifying that the song was intended as satire, aimed at starting a conversation about modern gender dynamics.
AFL Grand Final Performance and Tour Preparations
Before her global tour, Katy Perry is scheduled to perform at the AFL Grand Final this weekend, one of the largest sporting events in Australia. This performance will serve as a preview for her upcoming The Lifetimes Tour, with fans anticipating a high-energy show that reflects the themes of 143.
Perry’s return to the stage marks an exciting chapter in her career, especially for fans who have been eagerly waiting for new live performances. While only the Australian dates for The Lifetimes Tour have been confirmed, it is expected that Perry will soon announce additional dates across Europe, North America, and Asia.
