Katy Perry’s Denver Concert Rescheduled After Nuggets Playoff Game Conflict at Ball Arena
A scheduling conflict at Denver’s Ball Arena has forced pop superstar Katy Perry to postpone her May 15 concert, originally part of her highly anticipated “Lifetimes Tour.” The conflict emerged when the Denver Nuggets advanced in the NBA playoffs and were slated to host Game 6 of their semifinal series against the Oklahoma City Thunder on the same night—creating a logistical challenge for the multi-use venue.
Ball Arena, which serves as the home for the Nuggets, the Colorado Avalanche, and numerous touring acts, became the center of a scheduling tug-of-war between sports and pop fandom. Katy Perry’s show had been announced months earlier, but the unpredictable NBA playoff schedule meant both events were now double-booked.
In response, Katy Perry’s Denver show has officially been rescheduled to July 10, according to Ball Arena’s website and Ticketmaster. Organizers, including Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, reportedly weighed multiple options before landing on a new concert date, including shifting times or relocating events.
Fans of both the singer and the team expressed frustration over the last-minute change, especially those who had already arranged travel or accommodations. The mix-up underscores the complexities of booking events in shared venues during overlapping entertainment and sports seasons.
Ticketholders are encouraged to monitor official communications from Katy Perry’s tour, Ticketmaster, and Ball Arena for updates. Meanwhile, the Nuggets remain set to take the court on May 15 in a pivotal playoff matchup.
