Katy Perry adds an extra date to SA tour

With her new album Witness, Perry finds liberation, in the changes in her own life and in the world around her, delivering songs that inspire both thought and movement. The singles released thus far - Chained to the Rhythm featuring Skip Marley, Bon Appétit featuring Migos, and Swish Swish featuring Nicki Minaj - hint at the breadth of the musical and thematic elements found on Witness.

Witness: The Tour is an imaginative trip from outer-space to inner-space, from the planets to the bottom of our oceans, and a musical journey through Katy Perry’s biggest milestones and mega-hits right up to her latest album. The dramatically original staging means that there isn’t a bad seat in the house.

Witness: The Tour is Perry’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."
