Katy Perry Headlines O Son do Camino Festival, Highlights Relationship with Justin Trudeau
When the lights dimmed on June 18 in Santiago de Compostela, pop icon Katy Perry stepped onto the stage of Spain’s O Son do Camiño festival to deliver a performance that blended chart‑topping spectacle with theatrical personal touches. The 41‑year‑old opened the first night of the three‑day event with a set that included her 2024 single “Never Really Over” and a stage design that referenced her own life story.
A large faux screen projected a series of simulated phone calls, each marked with the name of a former partner—Diplo, John Mayer, Orlando Bloom—and a fourth caller labeled “JPJT” flanked by a red heart and a Canadian flag emoji. Perry declined the first three calls and answered the JPJT call, which the show’s narrative framed as a nod to her boyfriend, former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. The exchange was staged; no live conversation took place.
Perry’s relationship with Trudeau has been public since July 2025. The couple made their first joint red‑carpet appearance on June 8, 2026, when they attended the world premiere of Perry’s concert film, Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour – Live from Paris, at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. In a brief People interview at the event, Perry said, “I feel like a more grounded person in so many aspects of my life… I am very in love. And actually, that show was after I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that because I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite.”
The Lifetimes Tour, which began in 2025, marked Perry’s first tour since the 2017‑2018 Witness: The Tour. Official data from the artist’s team shows the tour grossed more than $134 million and sold 1.05 million tickets. The concert film was recorded during the Paris shows at Accor Arena and was released to the public on the same day as the Tribeca premiere.
O Son do Camiño ran from June 18 to 20, 2026, and featured a lineup that included Linkin Park, DJ Snake, and other international acts. Perry’s opening‑night setlist combined her biggest hits, fan favorites, and an unreleased track, according to festival coverage sites.
Festival attendees and social‑media users noted the staged phone calls and the celebration of her relationship with Trudeau. Video clips posted by fans captured the screen display and the simulated calls, but no live interaction was confirmed. Music‑industry outlets covered the event, highlighting the blend of performance art and personal narrative.
The combination of a high‑profile music festival, a concert‑film premiere, and a public acknowledgment of a high‑profile relationship illustrates how contemporary pop artists merge personal branding with live and recorded media. Perry’s June 2026 activities demonstrate her ongoing engagement with both festival audiences and film‑festival audiences, while her partnership with Trudeau remains a point of public interest.
At present, the next publicly announced event for Perry is the release of the concert film at Tribeca, with no additional tour dates or new music projects confirmed beyond the Lifetimes Tour’s conclusion. The film’s premiere and the festival appearance are the most recent milestones in her career.
