As Katy Perry gears up for her Lifetimes Tour this year, she’s unveiling a new approach that reflects her role as a mom. In a recent interview, Perry announced that her upcoming shows will start earlier—making them more family-friendly for parents and their kids.
Perry, who shares four-year-old Daisy Dove with actor Orlando Bloom, said the change stems from her own experiences as a parent. She explained: “Now that I understand all the dynamics of bringing your kids out to a show, I’m really going to implement an earlier showtime.” For parents juggling bedtime routines and early school mornings, this means fans can expect her concerts to start at 8:30 PM, a notable shift from the later 9 PM performances of her previous tours.
This adjustment isn’t just a logistical change; it’s a reflection of Perry’s evolving priorities. “She’ll be there for part of it,” Perry said of Daisy, acknowledging that her daughter’s presence on tour has inspired this fresh perspective. With her first major global tour since 2018, Perry is showing that it’s possible to keep the magic alive for both her fans and her family.
The Lifetimes Tour, set to support her seventh studio album 143, kicks off in Mexico City on April 23 and will span multiple continents, wrapping up in Madrid on November 11. While fans can look forward to a mix of deep cuts and changing setlists, the earlier showtime marks the most notable shift—one that promises to make Katy Perry’s concerts a more inclusive experience for families everywhere.
