The 813 and 143 come together this summer thanks to Katy Perry.
The 40-year-old pop star is bringing her new album on a U.S. tour, which includes an August stop in Tampa.
Perry, a Dr. Luke stan who’s been nominated for 15 Grammys, announced the American leg of her “Lifetimes” tour this morning, with a press release that says she will perform “all of her hits.”
It’s been eight years since Perry, who played Tampa in 2017, headlined a U.S. tour. The title of her new album 143, is a nod to pager code from the ‘90s (it means “I love you”), and Perry told Variety that the return stateside she’s hoping to give fans “a place to connect and find community” on the run, which includes one other Florida date.
