Jess Nelson On July 10, 2025, Ball Arena in Denver played host to a dazzling night of pop spectacle as Katy Perry headlined the Lifetimes Tour, supported by opener Cheat Codes. The evening unfolded in two unforgettable acts: first, Cheat Codes amped up the crowd with a high-energy set blending EDM, pop, and radio-ready anthems, before Katy Perry delivered a full‑throttle performance complete with cinematic visuals, soaring acrobatics, fan‑chosen surprises, and all her biggest hits.
Cheat Codes
Cheat Codes is a genre-blending DJ trio from Los Angeles, known for fusing pop, electronic, and dance into infectious chart-topping hits. The group—comprised of KEVI, Trevor Dahl, and Matthew Russell—broke through in 2016 with the global smash “Sex” and continued their rise with “No Promises” featuring Demi Lovato, which went multi-platinum worldwide. Their knack for high-energy collaborations has made them festival favorites and dance floor staples.
Over the years, Cheat Codes have teamed up with artists like Little Mix, Fetty Wap, and Wiz Khalifa, continually evolving their sound while staying rooted in catchy hooks and pulsing beats. In recent years, they’ve expanded into full-length albums, including the Hellraisers trilogy, and continue to drop new music that blends pop precision with EDM firepower. Their momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

Katy Perry
Katy Perry is a globally celebrated pop icon, known for her powerhouse vocals, bold visual style, and genre-defining hits. Born Katheryn Hudson in Santa Barbara, California, Katy Perry began her music journey in gospel before breaking into pop stardom with her 2008 smash hit “I Kissed a Girl.”
That single launched a career that has since delivered some of the most recognizable songs of the 21st century, including “Teenage Dream,” “Firework,” “California Gurls,” and “Roar.” Perry’s 2010 album Teenage Dream made history by producing five Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles, tying a record previously held only by Michael Jackson. Katy Perry has sold over 143 million records globally and remains one of the most streamed female artists on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
Over the past decade, Katy Perry has maintained her place in pop culture through hit records, sold-out tours, and high-profile TV appearances. She served as a judge on American Idol for multiple seasons and continues to expand her influence through ventures in fashion, fragrance, and philanthropy. In 2024, she released her seventh studio album, 143, featuring a return to uplifting anthems and high-energy pop.
The project was met with critical and commercial success, sparking the launch of the Lifetimes Tour in 2025. The tour showcases Perry’s signature theatricality, fan interaction, and a career-spanning setlist packed with visual spectacle. With her recent participation in Blue Origin’s NS-31 mission, she also became the first female pop artist to fly to space—solidifying her legacy as both a creative force and cultural trailblazer. Katy Perry continues to evolve while staying true to the bold spirit that made her a global phenomenon.
