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

Katy Perry embarked on her Out of Office Tour in Mexico, delivering a free concert at the Feria Nacional Potosina (FENAPO) that attracted an impressive 310,000 fans. The show took place in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, and served as a tribute to the late country legend Dolly Parton. The concert featured Perry's biggest hits, including "California Gurls," "Roar," and "Firework."

The event also showcased technological elements such as a laptop, a smartphone, a sunflower, and Perry herself climbing into an enormous plastic bottle to interact with the audience. Perry's performance was streamed on FENAPO's social media channels, following the announcement by Mexican state governor Ricardo Gallardo. Throughout the two-hour set, Perry spoke Spanish, dedicated a song to her daughter Daisy Dove, and invited a group of local fans onto the stage for a memorable "Watch It Burn" performance.

This concert marked Perry's return to Mexico, following her successful start of the global The Lifetimes Tour in April 2025 at Arena Ciudad de México.
