Saturday's nearly sold-out Xcel Energy Center concert by pop babe Katy Perry has been rescheduled for Aug. 23 due to illness. No specifics are being given out on what is ailing the "I Kissed a Girl" and "Teenage Dream" hitmaker, but she also postponed her concert Thursday in Chicago. Tickets to Saturday's show will be honored at the Aug. 23 makeup gig, or ticketholders can also receive refunds if they cannot make the new date.

Coincidentally, Adele's twice-rescheduled Twin Cities performance is already scheduled a night after Perry's makeup show.
