Lady Gaga Announces 'The Mayhem Ball' World Tour
“This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it.”
Following the announcement of one-off stadium shows in Singapore and Mexico City, Lady Gaga has unveiled a global arena tour for her latest album Mayhem, one of her most critically acclaimed projects in years.
On Wednesday morning, Gaga took to Instagram to share the announcement, emphasizing that the tour was actually a last minute initiative in response to demand from fans. “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 said.

Gaga’s last major tour was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when she released her sixth studio album Chromatica in Summer 2020. The eventual tour occurred in 2022, marking Gaga’s first full-on stadium tour, taking her across the United States, Europe, and Tokyo.
However, this time around, the artist is returning to an arena-style show to take full advantage of her stage production capabilities. “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,” she continued in the post.
Fans can sign up for presale tickets now at Ticketmaster ahead of the official release on Wednesday, April 2.
