• Katy Perry WITNESS: The Tour
  In the wake of the North American tour`s stellar reviews and added concerts, Katy Perry announces she will be performing in South Africa for the very first time as part of her WITNESS: The Tour. Produced by Big Concerts, Katy Perry will visit Johannesburg at the Ticketpro Dome.
  
  
  The North American leg, which began in September, has received rave reviews.
  
  
  With Witness, Katy finds liberation, in the changes in her own life and in the world around her, delivering songs that inspire both thought and movement. The singles released thus far - the Platinum-certified "Chained to the Rhythm" featuring Skip Marley, and the singles, "Bon Appetit" featuring Migos and "Swish Swish" featuring Nicki Minaj - hint at the breadth of the musical and thematic elements found on Witness.
  
  
  WITNESS: the Tour is an imaginative trip from outer-space to inner-space, from the planets to the bottom of our oceans, and a musical journey through Katy Perry`s biggest milestones and mega-hits right up to her latest album. The dramatically original staging means that there isn`t a bad seat in the house, when Katy brings out her band and dancers, along with all the bells and whistles.
  
  
  Big Concerts announced today that The Dolls and Elle B. are confirmed as the support acts for Katy Perry`s Johannesburg tour dates. Katy Perry will be performing in South Africa for the very first time as part of her Witness: The Tour on 18th, 20th and 21st July. Tickets are selling quickly and fans are recommended to purchase quickly to avoid disappointment.
