Pop icon Katy Perry will perform at the Lucca Summer Festival on July 19, 2026, in what will be her only Italian concert next year. The event will take place in the spectacular open-air setting of Lucca’s historic city walls, one of Tuscany’s most atmospheric venues for live music. General on-sale for Katy Perry’s concert opens on Friday, November 7, 2025 at 11:00 AM (CET).
With over 115 billion global streams, 70 million albums, and 143 million singles sold worldwide, Katy Perry ranks among the most successful and influential artists in contemporary pop. Since her 2008 debut One of the Boys, she has released a string of chart-topping albums — including Teenage Dream, Prism, Witness, and Smile — earning countless records and amassing billions of views on YouTube. On Spotify alone, she reaches more than 57 million monthly listeners.
Her latest album, 143, marks a new creative phase that blends pop energy with emotional depth and artistic vision. Beyond music, Katy Perry is also known for her commitment to philanthropy and innovation. Through the Firework Foundation, she supports access to the arts for underprivileged youth, and she actively backs sustainability and wellness initiatives such as Impossible Foods, Apeel Sciences, and De Soi.
The 2026 edition of the Lucca Summer Festival will open with another major international act: Jamiroquai, performing on July 4, also in their only Italian date. Led by the charismatic Jay Kay, the British band has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide, defining the sound of a generation with timeless hits like Virtual Insanity, Cosmic Girl, and Deeper Underground. Known for their unique blend of funk, soul, and acid jazz, Jamiroquai promise a high-energy show that will set the tone for a summer of world-class music in Lucca.
Tickets and further information about the Lucca Summer Festival are available on the event’s official website.
