Katy Perry concert chronology

The California Dreams Tour is the second concert tour by American singer Katy Perry. Visiting Europe, Australasia, Asia, the Americas, the tour will support her third studio album, Teenage Dream.[1]

Background

Katy perfoming «Teenage Dream».

I guess I'm looking forward to making music videos on this new album ... and I'm really excited about incorporating the look and the idea of some of the songs on tour and making a massive production of it. I'm gonna want a lot of visuals. I want it to be 10 times better than when I was on tour last.[2]

While promoting her recent album, Perry express she wanted her upcoming tour to be very visual. On her Twitter account, she stated, "I hope that it's going to engage all of your senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, touch".[3] The tour was officially announced in October 2010 by various media outlets including Perry's official website, in conjunction with the release of her third single, Firework. In 2011, Perry announced her North American leg during a live chat on social network Facebook. She then responded the tour will be very "super girl power" as vocalists Robyn, Yelle, Marina and the Diamonds, and Janelle Monae will open her shows during the various legs. Perry further stated she will actively participate with fans during the tour on various social networks including Facebook and Twitter.[4]

Calvin Harris was advertised to be the opening acts for Perry in the United Kingdom & Ireland.[5] On March 27, 2011, Perry announced via Twitter Harris was no longer involved with the tour. He cites technical restrictions as the reason for his cancellation. He was replaced by DJ Skeet Skeet.[6]
