(NEWARK, NJ) -- Noah Cyrus will be the opening act for Katy Perry on October 8th at the Prudential Center in Newark. The concert is part of Perry's WITNESS: The Tour, an imaginative trip from outer-space to inner-space, from the planets to the bottom of our oceans, and a musical journey through Katy Perry’s biggest milestones and mega-hits right up to her latest album.
The dramatically original staging means that there isn’t a bad seat in the house, when Katy brings out her band and dancers, along with all the bells and whistles.
WITNESS: The Tour is Katy’s first run since the sold-out, 151-date Prismatic World Tour, which concluded in 2015 and was hailed by Rolling Stone as "a show to damage retinas and blow minds."
Katy made her Capitol Records debut with 2008’s One of the Boys after signing to the label in 2007. She cemented her status as a global superstar with the follow-up album, Teenage Dream (2010). PRISM, her 2013 album, debuted at No. 1 on iTunes in 100 countries and has sold more than 12.5 million adjusted albums worldwide. With the singles “Roar," “Firework,” and “Dark Horse” each surpassing the 10 million threshold including song sales and streams, Katy is the only artist to earn three RIAA Digital Single Diamond Awards. In her 10 years with Capitol, she has racked up a cumulative 18+ billion streams alongside worldwide sales of more than 40+ million adjusted albums and 125+ million tracks. She is the most-followed person globally on Twitter.
Budding recording artist Noah Cyrus is one to watch for 2017, as her debut single “Make Me (Cry)” went straight to #1 on Spotify’s Viral Global Chart within hours of release, and has since surpassed 250 million global audio and video streams.
The introductory song from her forthcoming album NC-17 was met with unanimous praise in the U.S. and abroad, with Dazed calling it a “leftfield pop ballad” and Rolling Stone deeming it an “R&B-tinged pop tearjerker.” Her most recent release and follow up, “Stay Together,” is following suit, and already lining up to be the “song of the summer contender,” according to Idolator and NYLON crowning it as a “warm and cheery anthem of the summer.”
Following her televised awards show debut at the 2017 iHeartRadio Music Awards, the 17-year old received a standing ovation from the audience, that included some of the biggest names in music such as Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendez and The Chainsmokers, among others. She performed “Stay Together” at the 2017 MTV Movie and TV Awards for the first time on television, with Billboard noting how she “exuded some serious attitude.”
Cyrus continues to show her range with “I’m Stuck,” which Rolling Stone called “catchy, shimmering country-pop.” These songs will appear on her debut album, NC-17.
