Katy Perry returns to Budapest after 15 years with a career-spanning concert
Katy Perry last visited the Sportaréna in 2010 and will return to Budapest in 2025 with a career-summary tour called The Lifetimes.
The 40-year-old pop singer, songwriter, and television personality is known worldwide, and her career skyrocketed with the release of her 2008 album One of the Boys, which featured the hit single I Kissed a Girl. The artist, known for her colourful and eccentric style, cemented her superstar status with 2010’s Teenage Dream, which became the first album by a female artist to reach five number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. Over the years, Perry has performed chart-topping anthems such as “Roar”, “Firework” and “Dark Horse”, and has also become a prominent figure as a judge on American Idol.
Perry’s latest album, 143, debuted in September this year to a mixed reception. The campaign for Katy Perry’s new album has been a PR disaster. The album has set a negative record on the Metacritic review site, with the lowest score in the last 13 years based on the reviews received so far.
With numerous awards and a lasting impact on pop culture, Perry continues to be a dynamic force in the music industry, and she is here to prove it with her current tour.
Katy Perry will be performing in Budapest at the MVM Dome on 27 October 2025.
Interestingly, the music video for her song Firework was filmed in Budapest in 2010:
