Lady Gaga is gearing up for an electrifying return to the Las Vegas Strip with her highly anticipated "The Mayhem Ball" tour, set to kick off at T-Mobile Arena on July 16 and 18, 2025. The tour is in support of her new album, "Mayhem," which dropped earlier this month and has already garnered millions of streams across various platforms.
In a news release, Lady Gaga expressed her excitement, stating, "This is my first arena tour since 2018. 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." This intimate approach aims to enhance the theatrical experience that Gaga is known for, allowing her to connect more deeply with her audience.
Tickets for the general public will go on sale starting Thursday, April 3, 2025, at noon local time through AXS.com. Fans eager for early access can take advantage of a presale opportunity available to Citi credit cardholders, which begins on March 31, 2025. Citi cardholders will have a chance to purchase presale tickets until April 2, 2025, at 11 a.m. local time. Anthony Merola, head of U.S. rewards products and loyalty programs at Citi, commented, "Citi is committed to delivering more than just benefits—we deliver experiences that matter. Giving our cardmembers presale access to Lady Gaga's upcoming tour is one way we turn loyalty into unforgettable moments."
Following her Las Vegas shows, Gaga will take "The Mayhem Ball" tour to various cities across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The tour will include stops in major cities such as Seattle, New York, Miami, Toronto, and Chicago. In the UK, Gaga will perform three shows at London’s The O2 on September 29, 30, and October 2, 2025. Additionally, her Manchester show at Co-op Live on October 7 will mark her first performance in the city in over a decade, as she last graced the Manchester stage in 2014.
Gaga's last UK tour was the Chromatica Ball, which took place three years ago in 2022, featuring two shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. This new tour is particularly significant for her fans, as it not only showcases her latest work but also brings her back to arenas, a setting she cherishes for its ability to create a unique and immersive experience.
In a social media post, Gaga elaborated on her vision for the tour, saying, "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 MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially coming your way. See you soon, monsters."
The excitement surrounding the tour is palpable, and fans are encouraged to prepare for the ticket purchasing process. Here are some tips for securing tickets: be early, as being on the presale ticket page at least 30 minutes to an hour before the sale starts can significantly increase your chances of getting tickets. Depending on your internet connection, consider whether to use a cellphone or desktop for the purchase. Ticketmaster generally recommends using a desktop, but some users have had better success with mobile devices.
Also, it's wise to save your Citi card information to your Ticketmaster account for faster checkout. Memorizing the presale code, which is the first six digits of your Citi card number, will help streamline the process. If you find yourself in a waiting room or queue, refrain from refreshing the page, as this can jeopardize your position in line.
Gaga's "The Mayhem Ball" tour promises to be one of the most talked-about events of 2025, with its blend of theatrical artistry and intimate concert experiences. The tour will officially kick off in Las Vegas before heading to the UK and Europe, with additional shows planned in cities like Milan, Barcelona, Berlin, Amsterdam, Antwerp, and Lyon. The tour is set to conclude with three spectacular performances at the Accor Arena in Paris on November 17, 18, and 20, 2025.
As Lady Gaga prepares to embark on this new journey, fans are reminded of the importance of securing their tickets early, especially with the presale opportunities available. This tour is not just a series of concerts; it is an invitation to experience the artistic vision of one of the most influential pop stars of our time. With the presale starting soon, fans should act quickly to ensure they don’t miss out on what promises to be an unforgettable experience.
