Global superstar, Katy Perry, has announced that she will be returning to the U.K. in May 2014 to bring The Prismatic World Tour to cities up and down the country in support of her second U.K. number one album, Prism. The tour will start on 7th May at Belfast’s Odyssey Arena and come to the Liverpool Echo Arena on the 21st May. Great Britain will be the first country on what is expected to be a year-long World Tour.
Katy Perry scored her second No.1 album in the U.K. with new album Prism. The album follows the huge success of Katy’s chart topping single Roar which was recently certified platinum in the U.K. Prism has already been certified Gold (100,000 sales) in the U.K. and globally the album is a smash shooting to Number. 1 on iTunes charts in 90 markets around the world.
Lead single Roar has already sold more than five million singles worldwide. It’s certified 6X Platinum in Australia (where it’s topped the chart for nine consecutive weeks), 4X Platinum in Canada (where it has become the biggest-selling single in chart history and has been the No. 1 airplay record on three formats for five weeks running) and 3X Platinum in New Zealand (where it’s been No. 1 for 11 consecutive weeks). Roar has gone Platinum not only in the U.K. (where it has spent the most weeks as the No.1 airplay record this year, nine weeks) but in Italy, Mexico, Norway, Ireland and Sweden and is certified Gold in 10 countries. Ms.Perry’s new single Unconditionally will be released in the U.K. on December 16th.
Special guests on this U.K. leg of The Prismatic World Tour will be Icona Pop. The Swedish synthpop duo spawned one of the biggest hits of 2013 with their smash I Love It which charted at Number1 on the U.K. singles chart.
Katy Perry’s Prismatic World Tour is planned to be a multi-faceted spectacular and will include a special standing pit in front of the stage called ‘The Reflection Section’ which will see Katy getting closer than ever to her fans. This is set to be one of the hottest tickets of 2014, so make sure you don’t miss out!
