Lady Gaga is officially back on tour with her highly anticipated "The MAYHEM Ball Tour," set to kick off in July 2025. Following the release of her seventh studio album, "MAYHEM," which quickly climbed to number one on the Billboard 200, the pop sensation is ready to take her electrifying performances to arenas across North America and Europe.
On March 26, 2025, Lady Gaga took to social media to announce the tour, stating, "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." The tour marks her first arena tour in seven years, a significant return after her successful "Chromatica Ball" tour in 2022.
Gaga explained her decision to choose arenas over stadiums, 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." This intimate setting will allow her to connect more closely with her audience, something she values deeply.

In her announcement, Gaga emphasized the importance of connecting with her audience, 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."
Fans are already buzzing with excitement over the tour, eagerly awaiting the chance to see their beloved pop icon perform live once again. With her passion for music and performance, Lady Gaga is set to deliver an unforgettable series of concerts that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on her audience.
