If you missed out on scoring tickets to her recent sold-out show at Revolution, or you somehow just can't get enough of Katy Perry, you're in luck. The shape-shifting popstress returns to South Florida May 7, playing a free gig at the Fillmore Miami Beach as part of the Sidekick-sponsored Grammy Celebration Concert Tour. (That's a bit of a misnomer — although similarly branded concerts are slated for cities across the country, each stop features a different lineup of not-necessarily Grammy winners.) Perry didn't win any Grammys this year, although she did snag a nomination (for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance) and performed live at the awards ceremony this past February. So we suppose that's reason enough for celebration. Joining her for this gig is Wyclef Jean, who wasn't nominated for any Grammys this year but is enough of a hero locally to remain a draw.

The show is free, but of course there's a corporate sponsorship tie-in. To gain admission, you'll have to visit a T-Mobile store and buy a Sidekick or show the Sidekick you already own at the door. If you're more of an iPhone or BlackBerry (or, OMG, flip phone) type and are supermotivated, you can also go play a specially themed game at a T-Mobile store, no purchase necessary.
