An "out of this world" pop megastar will perform in front of thousands at Rogers Arena in Vancouver tonight.
Katy Perry, who recently joined the all-female crew on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket for an 11-minute ride, is making a local stop on Tuesday, July 22.
The California-born songstress broke onto the music scene in 2008 with her hit "I Kissed a Girl," followed by "Hot n Cold." She's released countless ballads and party anthems since then, including "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream," "The One that Got Away," "Roar," and several others.
Perry has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards, although she hasn't won one of them. She has won several American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Brit Awards, and many others.
Who is opening for Katy Perry?
Canadian pop star Rebecca Black will open for Perry, who rose to stardom with her massive hit "Friday" when she was 13. The song went viral on YouTube in 2011, amassing a jaw-dropping 174 million views.
Black has released 27 singles as a recording artist and one full studio album — Let Her Burn in 2023.
Are there still tickets left for the concert?
Fans may still score tickets to Perry's show, although prices are high (unless you buy from a reseller). Tickets are still available from Ticketmaster starting at $160 and going up to $790.
There is an eight ticket per person limit.
When does the concert start?
The show starts at 7 p.m. at Rogers Arena.

How can I get to the concert?
