Katy Perry kicks off her “Lifetimes Tour” in 3 days, marking her return to arenas with 83 global dates and a dazzling show fans won’t forget.
Fans on X are buzzing as pop titan Katy Perry countdowns the final hours before her grand arena return, tweeting “3 DAYS TILL THE LIFETIMES TOUR BEGINS 🧡♾️” just days before the pact of sequinned spectacle kicks off.
The Lifetimes Tour, supporting her seventh studio album 143, will launch on April 23, 2025, with three back‑to‑back nights at Mexico City’s Arena CDMX and will span an epic 83 dates across four continents.
This global run marks her first proper arena odyssey in seven years since wrapping Witness: The Tour in 2018 , promising a fusion of nostalgic fan favorites and new dance‑pop anthems.
Countdown to Lifetimes Tour
On April 21 at 5:02 AM ET, Perry took to X to remind the world that T‑minus three days remain until “the ultimate pop roadshow” commences . Fans responded with a flood of GIFs, playlist suggestions, and tongue‑in‑cheek warnings to stock up on ear plugs—or glitter—depending on their threshold for spectacle.

Global Spectacle: “Disneyland on Wheels”
Dubbed by the San Francisco Chronicle as “Disneyland on Wheels,” the Lifetimes Tour has already drawn comparisons to a roaming theme park, complete with pyrotechnic fireworks and kaleidoscopic visuals that seem almost designed to induce collective, euphoric whiplash.
Perry herself has advised concertgoers to pack “sensible shoes and hydration” for what she calls a “love‑filled spectacle,” promising lightning‑fast costume changes, dancers, and enough special effects to light up arenas from Sydney to São Paulo.
Deep Cuts & New Chapters
While “Firework,” “Roar,” and “California Gurls” will surely ignite the night, Perry has hinted at resurrecting hidden gems from her catalog—deep cuts like “I Kissed a Girl” intertwined with the introspective grooves of 143—offering fans both comfort and surprise.
Anchored in support of her seventh studio album 143, which debuted last September under Capitol Records, the tour fuses personal lyricism with the bombast Perry has perfected over her career.
U.S. Leg & Ticket Frenzy
After shaking up Mexico City, Perry touches down in the U.S. on May 7 at Houston’s Toyota Center for the North American kickoff—part of a 25‑city run that will crisscross from Oklahoma City to Miami.
Produced by Live Nation and supported by special guest Rebecca Black, the tour already boasts sold‑out dates on four continents, underscoring Perry’s undiminished global pull. Citi and Verizon presales in late January sent fans into a frenzy, with general tickets selling rapidly once the onsale opened January 31—proof that Perry’s stagecraft remains in high demand.
Beyond the glitter and roar, the Lifetimes Tour represents a career milestone: a homecoming for a pop star who in recent years claimed the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award, welcomed her first child, and reshaped her artistry on the dance‑pop album 143.
As the countdown on her social feed shrinks to zero, fans around the world are bracing for what may become the defining pop tour of 2025—a testament to Perry’s uncanny ability to turn every stage into her own lifetime.
