Katy Perry will bring her pop star power to the Krewe of Endymion's 2025 Mardi Gras Extravaganza, where she will headline alongside rock band Train. The announcement, made today, promises to elevate the already electrifying atmosphere of the city's iconic celebrations.

The WBRZ report highlighted the return to form with the theme "We are Back Home in the Dome," an apt slogan considering the event's migration back to Caesar's Superdome, and for the first time since before the world went pear-shaped in 2019, the parade is taking its traditional route down St. Charles Avenue. Krewe Captain Dan Kelly expressed the collective enthusiasm with a simple, "We are back in the Dome!" according to the WGNO article.

In addition to Katy Perry and Train, The Mixed Nuts, Groovy 7, and The Wiseguys will also perform, adding to the diverse lineup at the Endymion Extravaganza. Parade officials announced that the 59th annual Krewe of Endymion parade will take place before Fat Tuesday on March 5, as mentioned in both FOX8Live and WBRZ coverage.

The star-studded line-up follows a history of high-caliber performers which includes the likes of Steven Tyler, Rod Stewart, and Maroon 5, a tradition that seems only to grow richer with time – the 2025 Endymion Extravaganza seems poised to set the bar even higher. For those 20,000 guests slated to attend the mega-party, the blend of Katy Perry's dynamic chart-toppers with Train's award-winning anthems will likely serve as a crescendo in the symphony of Mardi Gras celebrations, making the wait until the parade rolls on Saturday, March 1, 2025, all the more challenging.
