Katy Perry will visit both coasts when she embarks on a tour of Australia next year.
The U.S. pop superstar’s The Lifetimes Tour will swing into Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on June 9, 2025, following by arena dates in Melbourne, Brisbane and wrapping up at Perth’s RAC Arena.
Spanning five dates, the Australia trek is Perry’s first in six years. Expect her to “perform all the hits,” reps say, plus new cuts from her seventh and latest album, 143 (via EMI), which dropped last Friday. “It’s a party and you’re all invited! Stoked to see you in June 2025. Get ready for a high energy singalong to alllllll your faves,” says Katy. 143 is the followup to 2020’s Smile, which peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Chart.
The “Fireworks” singer is currently in Australia as the headline act for the pre-game entertainment at the 2024 AFL Grand Final, to be contested by Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground this Saturday, Sept. 28.
Speaking on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick on Wednesday, Perry teased a surprise collaboration during her spot at Aussie rules football’s showpiece event. “You’ll just have to wait and see,” she admitted. When pressed by former AFL athlete-turned-radio host Brendan Fevola, she added: “All I know is that it’s a fellow Scorpio… and she’s great.”
TEG DAINTY, a division of TEG, is producing The Lifetimes Tour presented by Snaffle.
“I am delighted to announce that Katy Perry, one of the most in-demand global superstars of all time, is heading back to tour Australia in June, 2025,” comments Paul Dainty AO, president and CEO of TEG Dainty. “Few musical artists achieve the kind of career Katy has earned. Fans who attended her previous shows in this country already know this upcoming tour will be unmissable.”
Dainty has a long-time association with Perry and her tours Down Under, and was the promoter of her 23-date Prismatic arena trek of 2014 which shifted some 350,000 tickets and was one of the biggest live events of that year.
The general onsale for The Lifetimes Tour of Australia will kick off 10am (local time) on Friday, Oct. 4 from ticketek.com.au.
