Katy Perry has announced a £1 donation to Music Venue Trust from every ticket sold during her upcoming UK arena tour "The Lifetimes Tour" in October 2025.

The tour will showcase Perry's greatest hits across five major UK cities, starting in Glasgow and concluding in London. The donation initiative aims to support UK grassroots music venues, with funds directly benefiting new music talent development and venue preservation.

Perry's connection to UK grassroots venues dates back to 2008, when she performed her first UK shows at Water Rats in Kings Cross and London's Scala. The donation scheme reflects her commitment to supporting venues that help launch emerging artists' careers.

Mark Davyd, CEO of Music Venue Trust, expressed gratitude for Perry's support, emphasizing how the contributions will help keep venues open and enable promoters to bring new music to communities.

UK Tour Dates:

• October 7: OVO Hydro, Glasgow
• October 8: AO Arena, Manchester
• October 10: Utilita Arena, Sheffield
• October 11: Utilita Arena, Birmingham
• October 13: The O2, London

The UK shows follow sold-out dates in Australia and Mexico, demonstrating strong demand for Perry's first major tour in several years. The announcement comes after Perry's recent appearance at the MTV VMAs, where she received the 2025 Video Vanguard Award.
