Katy Perry Draws 310,000 Fans to Free Concert in Mexico: 5 Best Moments

Pop superstar Katy Perry returned to Mexico to present her Out of Office Tour on Tuesday (Aug.

25) at the Feria Nacional Potosina (FENAPO), in a free concert that turned out to be one of the most massive shows she has ever performed — drawing 310,000 people, according to figures provided by the organizers.

The show included a heartfelt tribute to country legend Dolly Parton, who had passed away hours earlier.

Held in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosi, the concert was part of a series of shows and a mini-tour of European festivals where Perry blends biggest hits like “California Gurls,” “Roar” and “Firework” with large-scale technological elements such as a laptop, a smartphone, a sunflower and an enormous plastic bottle she climbs into to interact with the crowd.

The show was also streamed on FENAPO’s social media channels, as previously announced by the state governor Ricardo Gallardo, who told Billboard Español that Perry’s performance would set a precedent for the event, as it “confirms Mexico’s place in the entertainment world, but also its standing in Latin America,” he declared.

Over nearly two hours, the California star delivered a journey through her biggest hits, spoke a bit of Spanish, dedicated a song to her young daughter Daisy Dove for her birthday, and invited a child onto the stage to join her.

A standout moment included her invitation to a group of local fans who recorded a video with her to the rhythm of “Watch It Burn” as a thank-you for camping outside the venue for days to be among the first to enter the concert.

Perry returned to the Latin American country after previously kicking off her global The Lifetimes Tour at Arena Ciudad de México in April 2025.
