Milwaukee World Festival, Inc. officials are excited to announce the second performance slated for Summerfest 2011. Katy Perry will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on Thursday, July 7 at 7:30PM. An opening act will be announced at a later date.
Katy Perry sang in her local church as a child and began to pursue her career in music during high school. In 2007 she signed with her current label and rose to fame with the release of her second single “I Kissed a Girl” in 2008. Her first studio album One of the Boys followed later that year and also produced the singles “Hot n Cold” and “Waking Up in Vegas.” Perry’s sophomore album, Teenage Dream, was released in August 2010 and debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200. The album includes hit singles “California Gurls”, “Teenage Dream” and “Firework”, all of which have topped the charts on the Billboard Hot 100 and worldwide.
Perry is known for her unconventional clothing style, incorporating bright colors and patterns as well as fruit and dessert accessories into her outfits. She recently made the news for her October 2010 marriage to comedian Russel Brand. Katy has begun to build her empire beyond music with the recent release of her fragrance, Purr.
