Katy Perry Announces U.S. Leg Of The Lifetimes Tour
After selling out shows around the world for her upcoming The Lifetimes Tour, Katy Perry has announced that she will launch an extensive run in the United States, beginning in Houston, Texas on May 7 at Toyota Center.
Produced by Live Nation and announced today, the U.S. leg of the tour will also include concerts at United Center in Chicago, IL (May 12), the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA (July 15), Madison Square Garden in New York City (August 11), Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena (August 19), and Paycom Center (May 9), which will mark Katy’s first ever performance in Oklahoma City. Touring in support of her new album, 143, the global pop superstar will be performing all of her hits, drawing from her extensive catalog. See below for itinerary.
Tickets for the U.S. dates will be available starting with Citi and Verizon presales (details below) beginning Tuesday, January 28. The artist presale will begin Wednesday, January 29, at 10am local time ahead of the general onsale starting Friday, January 31, at 10am local time at KatyPerry.com.
Citi is the official card of The Lifetimes Tour in the U.S. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, January 28, at 10am local time until Thursday, January 30, at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit http://www.citientertainment.com/.
Verizon will offer an exclusive presale for Katy Perry’s The Lifetimes Tour in the U.S. through Verizon Access, just for being a customer. Verizon Access Presale tickets for select shows will begin Tuesday, January 28, at 10am local time until Thursday, January 30, at 10pm local time. For more details visit Verizon.com/Access.
Katy will launch the Lifetimes Tour in Mexico, with seven arena shows. In Australia, the demand for tickets to her initial eight arena shows was so strong that five shows were added. The summer will bring Katy back to North America where, in addition to crisscrossing the U.S., she’ll play seven sold-out arena shows in Canada.
September will bring her to South America, where her arena dates in Buenos Aires are sold out and limited tickets remain for her stadium show in Chile. Katy will wrap up the 2025 tour in the UK and Europe, where popular demand led to multiple added shows in London, Paris, and new shows in Munich and Bologna.
Katy launched 143 – a bold, exuberant dance-pop album with the symbolic 143 numerical expression of love as a throughline message – with a sold-out headline show at Rock in Rio in Brazil in September 2024. Rolling Stone Australia observed, “Perry’s midnight set on the Palco Mundo stage where she would play her newest tunes for the first time became the high point of the night. Taking the stage as fireworks lit up the Rio sky, Perry had the 100,000-strong crowd going wild with dazzling visuals and pyrotechnics that transformed the City of Rock into a vibrant spectacle…”

Malcolm Todd Announces 2026 North American Tour
Following the release of his new album Do That Again, out now via Columbia Records, Malcolm Todd announces his 2026 North American tour. The tour promoted by Live Nation, kicks off September 2nd in Irving, TX, and will bring Malcolm’s high-energy live show to his biggest venues to date across North America, including New York’s Radio City Music Hall, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, The Anthem in Washington, DC, The Salt Shed in Chicago, MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, and more.
Do That Again is taking over streaming platforms, with all 13 tracks from the album hitting the U.S. Spotify Chart this week while the project rises to #5 on the Apple Music Top 200 Albums Chart alongside catalog standouts “Earrings” “Sweet Boy”, and “Roommates.” Malcolm now has 16 songs charting in the U.S., marking one of the biggest streaming moments of his career.
The album is also earning early critical praise, including a four-star review from Rolling Stone. Malcolm made his debut on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on the eve of the album’s arrival, performing “I Saw Your Face” live for the first time alongside his RIAA Platinum-certified single “Earrings.”
Across Do That Again, Malcolm steps into the promise of a fully formed pop star, threading classic pop songwriting through a modern R&B lens with humor, instinct, and meticulous detail holding it all together. Written in the blur after a breakthrough year on the road, the album captures Malcolm in motion: newly untethered, creatively locked in, and suddenly aware that the private moments he writes through are now being sung back by thousands of people.
That connection has already translated into real live demand. Three years ago, Malcolm had never played a show. Last year, he moved 100,000 tickets across three continents in a single touring cycle. Last week, he joined Don Toliver on stage at Madison Square Garden after his RIAA Platinum-certified “Chest Pain (I Love)” took on a second life through Don Toliver’s hit song “E85.”
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale (details below) on Tuesday, June 9 at 10 am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning on Thursday, June 11 at 10am local time at MalcolmTodd/Tour.
PRESALE: To participate in the Malcolm Todd artist presale on Tuesday, June 9 at 10 am local time you must sign up via seated HERE.
VIP: The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, Meet & Greet and individual photo op with Malcolm Todd, access to the pre-show Q+A and acoustic performance, early entry into the venue & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com!
