After teasing the world with two unstoppable singles — see: “Chained to the Rhythm” feat. Skip Marley and “Bon Appétit” feat. Migos — Katy Perry has finally announced her proper fifth studio album, Witness, due out June 9th via Capitol Records.
She’s also announced a full North American tour in support, which kicks off on September 7th at Columbus, Ohio’s Schottenstein Center and carries on into 2018 with dates all across the country. What’s more, Perry will serve as the musical guest for Saturday Night Live‘s season finale this weekend (May 20th).
In other words, get ready for The Year of Perry. Update — Thursday, August 17th at 9:30 a.m. CT: Due to production delays, the “Witness Tour” kickoff date has been pushed back to September 19th. Perry has also announced Carly Rae Jepsen, Purity Ring, and Noah Cyrus as openers. Check out the updated itinerary below.
