Katy Perry will celebrate the Tuesday release of Prism with a bang. The 28-year-old will hold an album release party at the iHeartRadio Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, the same day as the venue's opening.

The event, hosted by Mario Lopez, will feature a live performance from the singer and a Q&A segment. Perry will also discuss the making of the album.

The special will air in its entirety live on 175 Clear Channel stations around the nation starting at 6 p.m. pacific. Fans can also watch the full event via a live stream below. Additionally, the event will be televised on The CW Network on Oct. 25 at 9 p.m. ET.

Perry previously said that her new album showcases a more mature side of her and is quite different than her 2010 release Teenage Dream.

"It's the 28-year-old version of me... This record is a lot more stripped down," she recently told Elvis Duran And The Morning Show of New York City's Z-100. "It's the essential oils of me represented."

She also told the radio station how she decided upon the album's unique title.

"Prism is what colors are. That's why I called [the album] Prism. For a minute I thought I was going to do a dark record, but then I let the light in, and that's what a Prism does," she said.

Her new record is filled with upbeat pop songs. It also features a few powerful ballads, including By The Grace Of God. "I picked myself back up, I knew I had to stay. I got one foot in front of the other and I looked in the mirror and decided to stay," she sings on the tune.

The singer, however, revealed that her favorite song on the record is a love tune titled Unconditionally.

"It's different than Roar," she told MTV in a September report. "I think it's a universal love song that everyone's going to be able to relate to no matter the age, male or female. It's my favorite song off the record."
