Katy Perry's Lifetimes Tour Concert Film Hits UK Cinemas: Everything You Need to Know

If you missed Katy Perry’s Lifetimes Tour when it rolled through your town, you’re about to get a second chance. The pop superstar is bringing her record-breaking concert film to theaters worldwide on September 2, with over 150 UK cinemas getting the limited release. The 132-minute feature was shot during two sold-out Paris shows in November 2024 using a 60-camera setup that captured every angle, every moment, and every ounce of energy from the stage. Director Paul Dugdale orchestrated a production that feels less like a traditional concert recording and more like an immersive theater experience. Tickets go on sale July 30, and if you’re a fan of“Firework,”“Roar,”“Teenage Dream,”or“Dark Horse,”you’ll want to circle that date.

What makes the Lifetimes Tour story go beyond just great entertainment is the impact Perry had on the music industry itself. Over nearly eight months, the tour hit 91 shows across 23 countries and sold over one million tickets. With all that success came responsibility, and Perry’s team donated £81,918 to the UK’s Music Venue Trust and $264,814 to her Firework Foundation in the US. The UK Music Venue Trust works to save grassroots venues that are genuinely struggling to survive. Last year alone, 30 UK venues closed permanently, so that donation represents real, meaningful help for the infrastructure that discovers and develops new talent.

Concert films have become a legitimate way for fans to experience live music together, and this one seems to be built at a higher production level than most. If you’ve always wondered what it would be like to see Perry perform in front of a packed arena without fighting for parking or paying stadium concession prices, this is your answer. Have you been thinking about catching this when it hits your local cinema?
