At 38, Gaga aims to bring her Little Monsters even closer with this thrilling new show.
A More Intimate Concert Experience
Lady Gaga expressed her excitement about returning to arenas for the first time since 2018, emphasizing the unique energy of stadium performances. However, with The MAYHEM Ball, she aims to create a more intimate and immersive experience, bringing fans closer to the live theatrical artistry she passionately crafts.
What Inspired the Tour?
Lady Gaga revealed that she hadn’t initially planned to tour this year after her Singapore shows, but the overwhelming response to her new album inspired her to continue. Opting for arenas over stadiums, she wanted greater creative control to deliver a theatrical and electrifying experience that fully captures the essence of The MAYHEM Ball.
Tour Schedule and Locations
Lady Gaga will begin The MAYHEM Ball with two shows in Las Vegas on July 16 and 18. The tour will then travel across North America and Europe, with major stops in cities like New York City, Chicago, London, and Milan.
Lady Gaga will conclude The MAYHEM Ball with three final performances in Paris on November 17, 18, and 20.

The Legacy of Gaga’s Past Tours
The MAYHEM Ball is Gaga’s first tour since 2022’s The Chromatica Ball, which faced a two-year delay due to the pandemic. The concert was later immortalized in 2024 with Gaga Chromatica Ball, an HBO special.
While promoting the HBO special, Gaga revealed that she performed five shows despite having COVID. She informed her team, giving them the choice to opt out, but chose to continue, not wanting to disappoint fans. Acknowledging the risks her audience took attending the concerts, she repeatedly apologized backstage.
