Katy Perry has added 16 new show dates for Las Vegas residency, Katy Perry: Play, at the new Resorts World Theatre. More show dates have been added from May 27th to June 11th, including Memorial Day Weekend, and July 29th to August 13th. Tickets for the 16 new shows will go on sale on Saturday, January 29th at 10 am PST – the same day Perry returns to the Saturday Night Live stage for her fourth appearance as musical guest.

Summer dates include May 27, 28, 29; June 3, 4, 8, 10, 11; July 29, 30; and August 3, 5, 6, 11, 12, 16, 18 and 19th. Tickets and VIP packages are available via AXS.

Since the premiere of Katy Perry: Play at Resorts World Las Vegas on December 29, 2021, the larger-than-life residency has been embraced by fans and media alike. The pop star returns for shows on Mar 2, 4, 5, 11, 12, 16, 18 and 19th before the summer run.

The newly opened 5,000-capacity theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas, exclusively programmed and operated by Concerts West/AEG Presents, is a state-of-the-art, multi-level venue designed by the award-winning international design firm, Scéno Plus. The intimate venue, with the furthest seat only 150 feet from the stage, features unparalleled comfort, unobstructed sightlines and an unmatched spatial audio experience through more than 200 L-Acoustics speakers powered by L-ISA Immersive Hyperreal Sound technology.

The opening night of the residency featured her first live performance of “When I’m Gone,” Perry’s collaboration with GRAMMY-nominated producer/dance artist Alesso. The track went straight to No. 1 on the US Dance Shazam chart. It’s entered the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and the top five on iTunes in the US.

The official video for “When I’m Gone” premiered during halftime of the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship, marking the only time that ESPN has ever dropped a global music video within a live broadcast across its networks.

Perry will return to American Idol for her fifth season, hosting with her co-judges. The February 27ht season premiere kicks off the show’s 20th year.
