Due to overwhelming demand, a second stadium date for Melbourne has been added to Lady Gaga’s global tour, ‘The MAYHEM Ball’. The 14-time Grammy Award-winner has confirmed a second show for Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on Saturday, December 6, 2025. Tickets for the new show will be available on Wednesday, April 16, with presales beginning at 11am local time.
Australian fans can now experience ‘The MAYHEM Ball’ Tour 2025 on December 5 and 6 at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, followed by December 9 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium and concluding on December 12 at Sydney’s Accor Stadium. These shows mark Lady Gaga’s long-awaited return to the region, and her first dates in Australia since 2014’s ArtRave: The ARTPOP Ball.
Today’s announcement follows Gaga’s headlining performance at Coachella this past weekend, which critics across the globe are calling one of the most iconic festival performances in recent memory. Her nearly two-hour tour de force, described by Rolling Stone as a “transformative spectacle that cemented her status as a once-in-a-lifetime pop icon,” saw Gaga turn the desert into her own operatic battleground of light and dark.
The Guardian called it “a thrilling all-timer of a performance,” citing her “dexterous and luminous” vocals and immersive, five-act structure. The Los Angeles Times echoed this sentiment, calling it “a queenly assertion of her star power,” noting her “strong and gutsy” live vocals and raw connection with fans. Variety described the performance as “a masterclass in pop performance,” while The Hollywood Reporter celebrated the show as “definitively one of the most well-constructed and over-the-top productions to ever grace the Indio polo field.”
With Vulture praising her for delivering “equal parts theatrics and vocal prowess,” and Billboard calling it “a poignant and entertaining take on what it means to be a superstar,” Gaga’s Coachella performance has only heightened anticipation for the global run of The MAYHEM Ball.
Gaga will return to the desert on Friday, April 18, to headline the second weekend of Coachella before her upcoming stadium dates in Mexico City and Singapore and a landmark free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro. She will then kick off The MAYHEM Ball tour on July 16 in Las Vegas and continue with dates across North America, Europe, and the UK this year in support of her latest album, MAYHEM, which received widespread acclaim from critics and fans upon release and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.
