Known for her sometimes outrageous outfits, catchy pop tunes, and often over-the-top concert production, Perry is one of the world’s biggest pop stars. The latest tour is in support of her latest album Prism, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart in 2013. 

The album contains Perry’s biggest hit yet, “Roar,” while the single “Dark Horse” was her ninth number one single and 13th Top 10 hit. 

“I’m thrilled to bring the Prismatic World Tour to some of my favorite places in Asia, as well as some sensational places I’ve never been,” she said. “I can’t wait to take in the sights and the culture, and share my music and meet all of the new fans.” 

The Prismatic World Tour is so far turning out to be a successful global spectacle, with 17 sold out arenas in the UK, 66 sold out arenas in North America and 25 sold out arenas in Australia/New Zealand during last year. The tour will continue in 2015 throughout Europe, Asia and South America. 

According to the official release, the state-of-the art stage, specifically designed by Katy for the Prismatic World Tour, allows her to get closer to her fans than ever before: “The one-of-a-kind set design will provide concert-goers with a truly magical experience from every angle in the arena.”
