MANILA, Philippines - After performing at the Super Bowl and the Grammys, international superstar Katy Perry has announced that she and AEG Live are bringing her Prismatic World Tour to the Philippines on May 7.
“I’m thrilled to bring the Prismatic World Tour to some of my favorite places in Asia, as well as some sensational places I’ve never been,” Katy says. “I can’t wait to take in the sights and the culture, and share my music and meet all of the new fans.”
Tickets for the show went on sale yesterday through TicketWorld. Fans are already snapping them up at P15,900 for VIP, P13,500 for Patron, P10,500 for Lower Box Premium, P8,900 for Lower Box Regular, P6,000 for Upper Box A Premium, P4,000 for Upper Box A Regular, P3,000 for Upper Box B Premium, and P900 for Upper Box B Regular. (Booking fees are not included in these figures.)
The Prismatic World Tour has been a hugely successful global spectacle, with 17 sold-out arenas in the UK, 66 sold-out arenas in North America and 25 sold-out arenas in Australia and New Zealand during 2014. The tour continues in 2015 throughout Europe, Asia, and South America where Katy will headline Rock In Rio in Brazil on September 25.
Katy’s show features a state-of-the art stage, specifically designed by the singer. It allows her to get closer to her fans than ever before. The one-of-a-kind set design will provide concertgoers with a truly magical experience from every angle in the arena.
The ongoing tour is in support of Perry’s latest album, “Prism,” which has already equaled the sales success of its predecessor, “Teenage Dream,” and has generated five hit singles, two of which, Roar and Dark Horse, hit #1 for multiple weeks. These helped Katy set a new record at Top 40 for most total weeks (46) at No. 1 in the Billboard airplay chart’s archives, and makes her the only artist in 2014 with top spins at three different radio station formats (Top 40, Hot AC, and AC radio). She is the first artist to surpass the 75-million digital award threshold, counting digital downloads and on-demand streams – 20 million ahead of any other artist.
Katy, of course, cemented her status as a best-selling superstar with “Teenage Dream,” which debuted at No. 1 in eight countries and spent more than two years on Billboard’s Top 200 album sales chart. She became the only female artist to have five No. 1 singles from one album on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Firework, E.T., and Last Friday Night). The special edition, “Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection,” added “Part of Me” and “Wide Awake” to Katy’s list of nine Top 40 chart-toppers (dating back to her multi-platinum debut album, 2008s “One of the Boys,” which generated four hit singles: I Kissed A Girl, Hot N Cold, Thinking of You, and Waking Up In Vegas).
