Katy Perry Rocks Her Residency in Las Vegas with Inflatable Stage Props

Over the winter, Landmark had the pleasure of making several inflatables for pop icon, Katy Perry.

In her first concert residency, called Play, pop star Katy Perry provided a total of 36 outstanding shows from December 2021 through March 2022. What was featured front and center to support the singer’s concerts? Inflatable stage props courtesy of Landmark Creations.

We had the fortune of working with Tamlyn Wright, a partner of Silent House design studio, who came to us with an amazing collection of concepts for the set. After coordinating all of the stage designs through various manufacturers, Landmark Creations stepped in to execute the vision for the inflatables.

An array of cold-air inflatables made appearances throughout each show including inflatable mushroom caps, grass, an apple core and an old tire arch shape. This collection of portable inflatables helped create a unique 3-D environment for Katy to “play” in.

This was a fun project because we got to incorporate lots of different texturizing techniques. The tire arch was a special undertaking with plenty of textures to create the look of wear and tear. The mushroom caps required a softer fabric than most inflatable balloons along with the efforts of and close communication between designers, fabricators and sewers to give them their cartoon-like look.

Because these inflatable stage props are easy to pack and ship, the mushrooms and grass found their way to Saturday Night Live (SNL) when Katy hosted the show.

Congratulations on a successful residency, Katy! We look forward to working with you again next time.

What Others Say About Landmark Creations

"Our giant peach is brand new to us and will help us gain name recognition in our community at health fairs, county fairs, farm markets, school events and almost any event we take it to."

- Greg Stone, Peach Tree Healthcare

“The setup is so easy. We have had event tents and other promotional items in the past that were a nightmare to set up and break down. The inflatable is now the easiest part of the setup, and probably the most identifiable.”

- Vaughan Cutillo, Montauk Brewing Company

"[There was] fun, excitement, and encouragement for everyone to actually walk under/through [the arch] and it worked. We have cheerleaders and small children at the finish line by the arch handing out stickers, saying ‘I did it.’ Before we had the arch, [people] would straggle in anywhere."

- Jackie Allen, March of Dimes

"It was a big success! Customers were stopping to take their pictures with the inflatable pheasant and it helped draw in interstate traffic."

- M. Kettler, Cabela's

“This has created tremendous buzz around town and we have received a great deal of compliments on the Big Tire. Exposure is my goal, and the inflatable does that better than anyone, including me, can do at these events. The Big Tire never takes a break, gets tired or has to take a call. It just keeps shining bright and the kids love it.”

- Ed Chaney, Ed Chaney Tire Center Inc.

“We wanted to convey our 'money-saving' message; what better way than a 14-foot-tall inflatable booth with money flying around in it?”

- B. Hoffman, Hydra-Flex
