During a live chat on Facebook Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 19) Katy Perry announced the North American dates for her California Dreams 2011 world tour . The super pop star will bring her "Teenage Dream" and "One of the Boys" hits to the U.S. and Canada for 38 dates, beginning June 7 in Atlanta.
Robyn who is Swedish pop singer and Welsh singer-songwriter Marina and the Diamonds will open for Perry during the North American leg. Pre-sale tickets for the tour dates will be available this Friday (Jan. 21), while general on-sale tickets will be released a week later.
Just announcing the tour, Katy Perry answered general questions from Facebook users about her high heels, her upcoming tour attire (including a possibly edible cotton-candy outfit) and her secret love for singer/songwriter Michael McDonald. Katy Perry also declared a partnership with the social networking site's Facebook Places/Deals program, which will let fans check into the concert venues in each tour stop to earn prizes.
One week before kicking off Katy Perry world tour in Lisbon, Portugal on Feb. 20, Perry will perform at the 2011 Grammy Awards, where her sophomore disc "Teenage Dream" will vie for album of the year. The album's fourth single, "E.T.," is expected to hit radio next month, after its first three singles -- "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream" and "Firework" -- all hit No. 1 on the Hot 100.
