LONDON: Lady Gaga has announced her Mayhem Ball tour, which will see the pop icon perform across North America, Europe, and the UK in support of her latest album, Mayhem.
The tour, set to begin in July, will feature multiple nights in major cities, including New York, Chicago, London, Paris, and Berlin.
In a statement shared on social media, Gaga explained that she had not originally planned to tour this year but was inspired by the overwhelming response to her new album.
Mayhem, released on 7 March, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, marking another milestone in her career.
“I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore, but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going,” she wrote on Instagram.
“We chose arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums – and honestly, I can’t wait. This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings Mayhem to life exactly how I envision it.”
The tour will kick off on 16 July in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena before moving to other US cities, including Seattle, Miami, and Toronto.
The European leg begins on 29 September at The O2 in London, with additional performances in Stockholm, Milan, Barcelona, and Amsterdam before concluding in Paris on 20 November.
Speaking about the tour’s concept, Gaga said she wanted to create a more intimate experience compared to her previous stadium shows.
“There’s something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with the Mayhem Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience – something more intimate, closer, more connected – that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create,” she said.

The Mayhem Ball marks Gaga’s first major tour across North America and Europe since 2022’s Chromatica Ball, which was performed in stadiums worldwide.

For Europe and the UK, Mastercard’s presale for select shows will start on 31 March, with various other presales running throughout the week.
Gaga’s first major performance of 2025 will take place at Coachella in April, followed by stadium concerts in Mexico City and Singapore. She will also headline a massive free show in Rio de Janeiro before officially launching the North American leg of the tour.
