Katy Perry will donate £1 from every ticket sold during her upcoming UK arena tour to Music Venue Trust (MVT), the charity supporting UK grassroots music venues.
The Lifetimes Tour will visit five major UK cities in October 2025:
- Glasgow: OVO Hydro (Oct 7)
- Manchester: AO Arena (Oct 8)
- Sheffield: Utilita Arena (Oct 10)
- Birmingham: Utilita Arena (Oct 11)
- London: The O2 (Oct 13)
The tour will feature Perry's greatest hits from throughout her career. This announcement follows sold-out shows in Australia and Mexico, where additional dates were added due to high demand.
Having performed her first UK shows at Water Rats and Scala in 2008, Perry aims to support similar venues through MVT. The donations will help protect and improve grassroots music venues across the UK, fostering new talent development.
"I'm proud to donate £1 from every ticket so that venues like The Water Rats and Scala can continue to usher in the next generation of music talent," Perry stated.
Mark Davyd, CEO of Music Venue Trust, expressed gratitude: "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."
