Lady Gaga is embarking on a mesmerizing journey with her Mayhem Ball Tour. On Wednesday, the iconic performer unveiled the tour details, confirming a slate of dates spanning North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, set to commence later this summer. "After my captivating performances in Singapore, I hadn't anticipated hitting the road this year, but the overwhelming response to my new album has ignited a fire within me to continue the momentum," Gaga enthusiastically shared on Instagram. "Thanks to Arthur Fogel and the extraordinary team at Live Nation, who orchestrated a worldwide tour in mere weeks, it all came together with lightning speed."
Kicking off in the electric atmosphere of Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena on July 16, Gaga's North American leg will take her through Seattle's vibrant streets, the bustling cityscape of New York, the sun-soaked shores of Miami, the cultural hub of Toronto, and the windy alleys of Chicago. From September onwards, she'll set sail across the pond, enchanting audiences in London, Manchester, Stockholm, Milan, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam, Antwerp, Lyon, and the enchanting streets of Paris.
Tickets for the North American leg will become available starting with an exclusive presale for Citi cardholders on March 31, followed closely by a Verizon presale the subsequent day. An artist presale is scheduled for April 2, with the general public sale kicking off on April 3. Enthusiastic fans have until March 30 to sign up for the presale opportunities. Tickets for all presales and the general sale will go live at noon local time each day.
Prior to the Mayhem Ball dates, Gaga will captivate audiences in previously announced concerts in Mexico City, Brazil, and Singapore. Additionally, she'll steal the spotlight as the headliner at Coachella this year, mesmerizing crowds on April 11 and April 18. Mayhem has already marked a triumphant debut, soaring to the Number One spot on the charts earlier this month, while "Die With a Smile," her soulful duet with Bruno Mars, has reigned supreme on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for five weeks this year.
Notably, Gaga has opted for arenas over stadiums for the Mayhem Ball Tour – her first arena tour since 2018. This decision could heighten the demand for tickets, assuming Gaga's fervent fan base remains as enthusiastic as ever. "We chose arenas this time to allow me the creative freedom to meticulously curate every aspect of the show, something that's nearly impossible in stadiums," Gaga explained in her post. "I'm beyond excited!"
"This show is meticulously crafted to be a breathtakingly theatrical and electrifying spectacle, bringing the essence of MAYHEM to life precisely as I envision it," Gaga added. "The MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially heading your way. See you soon, monsters."
