Katy Perry’s New Album

Katy Perry’s New Album

Katy Perry has announced the June 9 release of her new album, Witness (EMI Music Australia) 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.

The North American leg of WITNESS: The Tour, produced by AEG Presents, will kick off on September 7 and will include two New York City shows – October 2 at Madison Square Garden and October 11 at Barclays Centre – plus an evening at STAPLES Centre in Los Angeles on November 7. The tour will resume in January 2018.

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.”

Tickets for the U.S. dates go on sale to the general public on Monday May 22, at 10 AM with the Canadian dates on sale May 26. Additional international tour dates will be announced in the coming weeks.

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.”

The Witness album and tour is the second major announcement from Katy Perry in the last 4 days, with the ‘Bon Appétit’ video dropping late last week.

It is officially Katy’s FASTEST viewed music video of all time with 14.2 MILLION views in the first 24 hours – now approaching 30 million! ‘Bon Appétit’, which features Atlanta-based hip-hop trio Migos, was co-written by Katy, Max Martin, Shellback, Oscar Holter, Ferras Alqaisi and Migos.

“Bon Appétit” was the #1 Most Added at Australian Radio in its first week.
