Katy Perry tour brings ‘Dream’ concerts to North America

Pop princess Katy Perry has revealed her plans for a summer-long North American tour. To complement her hit 2010 album “Teenage Dream,” the singer will finally bring her worldwide California Dreams 2011 Tour stateside.

The hefty 38-date schedule lifts off June 7 at the Gwinnett Center Arena in Duluth, GA. Openers Robyn and Marina and the Diamonds will accompany Perry on her trek across the United States and Canada, which concludes with a two-nighter on August 13-14 at the Santa Barbara Bowl in California.

Also booked are stops on June 10 at St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, FL; June 18 at TD Garden in Boston, MA; June 24 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA; July 8 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL; July 30 at Frank Erwin Center in Austin, TX; and August 5 at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.

Canadian audiences will also have their fill of Perry. Eight show dates are lined up, including June 30 at Air Canada Centre in Toronto, ON; July 2 at Bell Centre in Montreal, QC; July 14 at MTS Centre in Winnipeg, MB; and July 19 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC.

The first round of presales will start over the January 21-22 weekend, while public onsales open January 28-29. Based on Ticketmaster.com’s listings, U.S. ticket prices range widely. Face values start as low as $23 in St. Paul, though most cities are set closer to $35, while the high end ranges from $45 to $55. Canadian face values, meanwhile, are C$39.50 and C$49.50 across the board.

Despite being booked for just 38 North American dates, Perry’s official Web site describes the domestic California Dreams leg as a “41-city trek,” signaling the future announcement of additional tour stops.
