Katy Perry is preparing for one of her busiest international summers in years as the global pop superstar gears up for a packed 2026 festival tour across Europe and the Middle East.
The summer run will take Perry to major music festivals, historic venues, and headline events from Spain and Portugal to Malta and Azerbaijan. Fans can also stream her newly promoted playlist, “The Ones That Got The Plays,” ahead of the tour kickoff in June.
The 2026 schedule highlights Perry’s continued global popularity as live music festivals prepare for another huge summer season.
Katy Perry Begins Tour in Spain
Perry officially launches her summer tour on June 18 at Festival O Son Do Camiño in Santiago, Spain.
Two days later, she heads to Lisbon for a major performance at Rock in Rio Lisboa, one of Europe’s largest live music festivals.
Because European summer festivals continue attracting massive international audiences, artists like Perry often headline multiple countries within a single month.
Historic Venues Highlight Summer Schedule
Several performances on the tour will take place at iconic outdoor venues and historic locations.
On June 24, Perry performs at Malahide Castle in Dublin before traveling to Belgium’s Werchter Boutique on June 27.
The tour also includes a stop at Blenheim Palace Festival in England on July 1.
Fans and industry experts say outdoor summer concerts remain some of the most popular live entertainment experiences worldwide.
France and Italy Added to Busy July Schedule
July becomes Perry’s busiest touring month.
The singer will appear at several major French festivals, including Main Square Festival in Arras and Festival de Nîmes in Nîmes.
She will also perform at Lucca Summer Festival in Italy on July 19.
Because many European cities host annual outdoor festivals during the summer tourism season, artists often perform multiple festival appearances in rapid succession.
Katy Perry Returns to Major Festival Stages
The tour also includes appearances at Jazz Open in Stuttgart, Musilac in Aix-les-Bains, and Les Vieilles Charrues in Carhaix.
Perry will also headline Isle of MTV on July 22 before wrapping up the European run at Switzerland’s Paléo Festival Nyon on July 25.
The singer remains one of pop music’s biggest festival draws thanks to her chart-topping hits, colorful performances, and large-scale stage productions.
Formula One Performance Added for September
After completing the summer festival circuit, Perry will return in September for a special performance tied to the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku on Sept. 26.
Formula One race weekends increasingly feature major music performances as organizers continue expanding entertainment offerings around international races.
Because Formula One continues growing globally, many artists now include Grand Prix performances as part of larger international touring schedules.
Summer Festivals Continue Driving Tourism
Music festivals remain major tourism drivers throughout Europe each summer.
Cities hosting major concerts often see increased hotel bookings, nightlife activity, and tourism spending during festival weekends.
Industry experts expect another strong festival season in 2026 as international travel demand continues rising.
For Katy Perry fans, the summer tour offers a chance to experience one of pop music’s biggest stars across some of Europe’s most famous festival stages.
Fans interested in seeing Katy Perry live during her 2026 summer tour can find full tour dates, festival appearances, and ticket information on her official website.
