Katy Perry appears to have found a new guy in the music business. And where else to make their first public appearance together than at a rock festival?

The pop star, 27, was spotted kissing, hugging and swaying to music with Robert Ackroyd, a guitarist for English indie-pop band Florence + the Machine, at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., this weekend.

Perry was all smiles, in a purple outfit with a gold sunburst pattern, matching her newly dyed purple hair, as she danced the night away with Ackroyd, outfitted simply in jeans and a white T-shirt – revealing his heavily tattooed forearms.

Never one to shy away from letting loose, Paris Hilton made her presence known on Saturday night at the A|X Armani Exchange and T-Mobile Neon Carnival near Coachella.

The socialite was front and center in the deejay area at the party – which also drew out guests such as Emma Roberts, Gerard Butler and Usher – where she shouted at the crowd and twirled around in her dress.

"At one point, she started swinging her head in circles," says an onlooker. "Her hair was flying everywhere. She was definitely having a good time."

Earlier in the day, the socialite and her deejay boyfriend Afrojack were attached at the hip in a private cabana at a Chevy Volt party.

Katy Perry Keeps the Coachella Partying Going Past 4 a.m.!

Coming straight from a rainy M83 concert at Coachella, Katy Perry arrived at 2 a.m. with six male pals at the Hennessy V.S. Presents Details @ Midnight party.

A seemingly upbeat Perry, who showed off newly dyed purple hair, ran inside the bash to dance and mingle with the crowd. And a source tells us that her late arrival kept the festivities going until 4 a.m. – past the scheduled end time.

And a long night out didn't stop the pop star from having enough energy to hit the party circuit the next day; she made her way during the mid-afternoon to the Lacoste L!ve/HTC Pool Party at a private home in Thermal, Calif.
