Katy Perry has added a second London show to her Lifetimes Tour, which will donate £1 per ticket to grassroots music venues

Katy Perry has announced an additional London date for The Lifetimes Tour.

The live run will begin at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 7th October, visiting Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham before concluding with two nights at London’s O2 Arena on 13th and 14th October.

Perry will donate £1 from every ticket sold to Music Venue Trust, supporting UK grassroots music venues. “I’m so incredibly chuffed to bring The Lifetimes Tour to the UK! I can’t wait to have a big sing along of all the songs you love and more! It’s going to be a giant dance party, and everyone’s invited!” Perry says. “I’m proud to donate £1 from every ticket on the UK leg of The Lifetimes Tour to Music Venue Trust so that venues like Water Rats and Scala, where I played my first UK shows, can continue to usher in the next generation of music talent.”

Mark Davyd, CEO Music Venue Trust, adds: “We want to say a huge thank you to Katy and her team for stepping up to support grassroots music venues, artists and promoters. 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.”
