Katy Perry @ The O2 Arena
Katy Perry
Pop queen Katy Perry brought the UK leg of her Prismatic World Tour to a close at East London’s O2 Arena in support of her fourth studio album Prism for the lsat of four dates in the capital. As you might expect, the show was a spectacular feat of colour, light, theatrics and engineering to accompany hits from Perry’s back catalogue as well as material from Prism, including set opener Roar.
The show came with multiple theme and costume changes with the Dark Horse-singer switching between neon-tinged “Prismatic”, Egyptian, Cat-Oure (seemingly inspired by Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical of the same name) and 80’s throwback themes. There was even an “acoustic” section of the show which saw the pace calming just a little and Perry sporting a moving butterfly hat while playing an acoustic guitar from the b-stage in the middle of the arena.
The show and banter was much the same as reported for the previous nights of the show so it was difficult not to take the obviously rehearsed crowd-interaction with a pinch of salt. Perry found “that guy who was dragged here by his girlfriend” to share a beer with during the acoustic section while Prism track Birthday had the 29-year-old finding a willing member of the audience who happened to be attending the event on his birthday - this time a girl - sitting her in a golden throne while singing and lap dancing for the girl on her big day. Nice.
The show closed with Teenage Dream hit Firework which saw Perry emerge in a colourful, almost Cinderella-esque outfit accompanied by pyrotechnics fitting for the song.
All that attended tonight were high on the energy of this pop idol Californian lady who really didn’t disappoint.
