Katy
Perry announced the June 9 release of her new album, Witness (Capitol Records), and an
extensive arena tour. With Witness, Katy reflects on the changes in her own
life and in the world around her, delivering songs that both challenge and
inspire. The singles released thus far – the Platinum-certified “Chained to the
Rhythm” featuring Skip Marley and the follow-up single, “Bon Appétit” featuring
Migos – hint at the breadth of the musical and thematic elements found on
Witness. Each ticket purchase for WITNESS: The Tour also includes a copy of her
album, Witness.
The
North American leg of WITNESS: The Tour, produced by AEG Presents, will kick
off on September 7 at
Schottenstein Center in Columbus, OH. The run will include two New York City
shows – October 2 at Madison
Square Garden and October 11 at Barclays Center – plus an evening at STAPLES Center in
Los Angeles on November 7 and a December 20 concert at AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami. The tour will
resume on January 5, 2018 at Smoothie
King Center in New Orleans.
Katy
will be partnering with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to donate tickets to
club members and volunteers. Additionally, fans can earn free tickets by
signing up at GlobalCitizen.org and taking action to support Boys & Girls
Clubs of America. $1 per every ticket sold will also be donated to Boys & Girls Clubs of
America.
Jim
Clark, President and CEO, Boys & Girls Clubs of America said, “Katy Perry
is one of the most powerful and famous entertainers in the world, and Boys
& Girls Clubs of America is one of the most powerful youth development
organizations in the country. We share a commitment to improving the lives of
young people through education, empowerment, and demonstrating good
citizenship, and are excited to provide her fans with the chance to connect
with Clubs while giving them an opportunity to win a chance to see her in
concert.”

WITNESS:
The Tour is Katy’s first run since the sold-out, 151-date Prismatic World Tour, which
concluded in 2015 and was
hailed by Rolling Stone as “a show to damage retinas and blow minds.”
Katy,
who will be the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live” on the May 20 season finale, made her Capitol
Records debut with 2008’s One of the Boys after signing to the label in 2007. She cemented her status as a global
superstar with the follow-up album, Teenage Dream (2010). PRISM, her 2013 album, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in 100 countries and has sold more than 12.5 million adjusted albums worldwide.
With the singles “Firework” and “Dark Horse” each surpassing the 10 million threshold including song sales
and streams, Katy is the first female artist to earn two RIAA Digital Single
Diamond Awards. In her 10 years with Capitol, she has racked up a cumulative 18+ billion streams alongside worldwide
sales of more than 40+ million adjusted albums and 125+ million tracks. She is the
most-followed person globally on Twitter.
