How Katy Perry’s live profile looks in 2026
Katy Perry’s current live activity builds on a major touring cycle that ran in 2025 under the banner of The Lifetimes Tour, which supported her seventh studio album 143. That tour opened in April 2025 in Mexico City and closed in December 2025 in Abu Dhabi, covering arenas and large outdoor venues across multiple continents.
With the 2025 tour wrapped up, the 2026 calendar shows a shift toward festival-focused dates and one-off headline appearances rather than a single, long stadium tour. Her official site lists additional 2026 engagements such as FENAPO in San Luis Potosí on August 25, the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix concert in Baku on September 25, and Festival Presidente in Santo Domingo on December 12.
The musical core: 143 and The Ones That Got the Plays
On record, Katy Perry’s current era is anchored by the studio album 143, released on September 20, 2024 through Capitol Records. The album introduced new dance-pop material like Woman’s World, Lifetimes and I’m His, He’s Mine, extending her catalog beyond earlier blockbuster sets such as Teenage Dream and Prism.
In May 2026 she followed up with the compilation The Ones That Got the Plays, a digital greatest-hits release that collects 21 tracks from across her career plus the 2025 single Bandaids. The compilation entered several national charts, including a peak in Germany’s album rankings, and received at least one certification in European markets.
