Katy Perry Announces The ‘Lifetimes’ October 2025 UK Arena Tour

Today, one the best-selling music artists of all time, Katy Perry announces The Lifetimes Tour is coming to the UK in October 2025 – a spectacular career-spanning run of live shows, including all the hits from across her multi-million selling albums.  The Lifetimes Tour sees the global pop superstar perform in cities across the UK, opening in Glasgow on the 7th of October at the OVO Hydro continuing through to Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, and finally culminating with a date at London’s O2 Arena on 13th October. 

The UK leg of the tour follows the announcement of additional shows in Australia due to overwhelming demand, with the original dates for June 2025 having sold out. In recent days, a further three shows were announced for Mexico in April 2025 after the first three sold out within an hour. 

On returning to the UK for her first tour in over seven years Katy said, “I’m so incredibly chuffed to bring The Lifetimes Tour to the UK! I can’t wait to have a big sing along of all the songs you love and more! It’s going to be a giant dance party, and everyone’s invited!”

Having played her first UK show at Water Rats in Kings Cross in 2008 and at London’s Scala later that year, Katy today announces that £1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Music Venue Trust, the UK charity which acts to protect, secure and improve UK grassroots music venues. Every £1 received from this scheme will go directly into initiatives to support the UK grassroots music community, bringing more great new music to more towns and cities.

“I’m proud to donate £1 from every ticket on the UK leg of The Lifetimes Tour to Music Venue Trust so that venues like Water Rats and Scala, where I played my first UK shows, can continue to usher in the next generation of music talent” says Katy.

“We want to say a huge thank you to Katy and her team for stepping up to support grassroots music venues, artists and promoters. The contribution from these shows will keep venues open, get new and emerging artists out on tour, and enable promoters to bring the best in new music to our communities” says Mark Davyd, CEO Music Venue Trust. 

Last month, Katy made an epic return to the MTV stage for the first time since 2017. The five-time VMA winner accepted the 2024 Video Vanguard Award and performed a show-stopping, career-spanning medley of her biggest hits. View HERE. The performance also features two tracks from Katy’s new album, 143, a record that’s jam-packed with the kind of celebratory and provocative pop anthems fans have come to love. Listen HERE.

With a cumulative 115 billion streams alongside worldwide sales of over 70 million adjusted albums and 143 million tracks, Katy Perry is one of the best-selling musical artists of all time. She is one of only twelve artists in history to have surpassed 100 million certified units.
