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.
