Katy Perry to donate £1 from ticket sales to Music Venue Trust

The Lifetimes Tour sees Katy Perry perform in cities across the UK, opening in Glasgow on 7 October at the OVO Hydro continuing through to Manchester, Sheffield, Birmingham, and finally culminating with a date at London’s O2 Arena on 13 October.

On returning to the UK for her first tour in over seven years Katy Perry said, “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!”

Having played her first UK show at Water Rats in Kings Cross in 2008 and at London’s Scala later that year, Katy today announces that £1 from every ticket sold will be donated to Music Venue Trust, the UK charity which acts to protect, secure and improve UK grassroots music venues. Every £1 received from this scheme will go directly into initiatives to support the UK grassroots music community, bringing more great new music to more towns and cities.

“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” she says.
