The Prismatic World Tour is the upcoming third concert tour by American singer Katy Perry, in support of her fourth studio album, Prism. The tour will begin on May 7, 2014 in Belfast, Northern Ireland at the Odyssey Arena. The first leg will also contain performances in Scotland and England that month. The tour will conclude in fall 2015.[1]
Background and development
Perry first teased the tour during her "We Can Survive" event at the Hollywood Bowl on October 23, 2013. At the event, she encouraged fans to see her on her 2014 tour, stating that the tour would be "magical."[2] During her cover shoot for the November 8, 2013 issue of Entertainment Weekly, Perry discussed the tour, saying, "The tour is going to be fantastic. I always try to take it to the next level. I think people will realize what the tour is going to be like when they listen to the music." She also emphasized that she would be "very close" to the audience during the tour.[3] At the 2013 MTV Europe Music Awards, Perry said the tour would be "less cartoony" than the California Dreams Tour and would be a "feast for your eyes."[4] In a December 2013 interview with Capital FM, Perry stated that the tour would have less of a storyline than her previous tours, saying, "I'm going to bring all the bells and whistles like it was last time but it won't be so highly narrated. I just want a little bit more room to express myself." She also said "I'm just really excited. I just did a big tour meeting yesterday and saw the graphic drawing of the stage and it's unlike anything I've seen for any other artist and it's unlike anything I've ever done. It's different, it's fresh, it's clean and it's actually in the middle of the audience it feels like", Katy explained.[5]
Perry announced the tour on November 18, 2013 via Twitter. She announced the first eleven concerts taking place in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and England along with Icona Pop as the opening act. According to the official press release, the tour is designed to be a "multi-faceted spectacular" and will include a special standing pit around the stage called "The Reflection Section" that will allow Katy to be "closer than ever to her fans." Five more concerts were later added; with the first leg scheduled to take place in May 2014.[6] The North American leg was announced on January 15, 2014, consisting of eight concerts in Canada and thirty-four concerts in the United States and running from June to October 2014. Capital Cities, Kacey Musgraves, and Tegan and Sara will open for Perry in different markets.[7]
Commercial performance
The first leg attracted high public demand, resulting in additional shows in Belfast, Glasgow, and London being announced within hours of tickets being released on general sale.[8] Soon after, Perry added extra dates in Manchester and Birmingham.[9]
