A new date has been added to Katy Perry’s Witness: The Tour show to South Africa, which takes place in July.
Big Concerts International, who are bringing the American multimillion-record-selling star, have added the new date of July 21 following an exceptionally big demand for tickets. The tour was initially planned to be held over two days, July 18 and 20, at Joburg’s TicketPro Dome.
This will be the star’s first performance in South Africa. “Tickets are selling quickly and fans are recommended to purchase quickly to avoid disappointment,” said the company.

Witness: The Tour is Perry’s first tour since the sold-out Prismatic World Tour, which she concluded in 2015.
Witness: The Tour has been described as “an imaginative trip from outer space to inner space, from the planets to the bottom of our oceans, and a musical journey through the singer’s milestones and mega hits right up to her latest album".
