Katy Perry at London’s O2 Arena: timings, set list, last-minute tickets and everything you need to know

London’s Katy Perry diehards, it’s nearly time. The singer of hits like ‘Firework’, ‘California Gurls’ and ‘Hot N Cold’ is in town for two shows at the O2 Arena as part of her Lifetimes Tour.

By the time Perry gets to the capital she’ll have already entertained thousands of Brits at arena dates in Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield and Birmingham. The Lifetimes Tour, as its name suggests – and not dissimilar to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and Madonna’s Celebration Tour – is intended as a career-spanning celebration of Katy Perry’s music.

If you’re heading to see Katy Perry at the O2 this week, here’s what you need to know about the shows – from the timings and setlist to remaining ticket availability.

Reviews

Reviews for Katy Perry’s Lifetimes Tour have been fairly positive. A three-star review of the Glasgow show in the Guardian said it was ‘fun but frenetic’, adding that Perry was ‘almost constantly doing far too much: hanging off props, spinning upside down, and wearing a glove that shoots fireworks’.

Another three-star review in the Telegraph said that ‘The performer doesn’t need stage frippery to prove her star power – just better songs’.
