Lady Gaga has officially announced the UK leg of her highly anticipated ‘The MAYHEM Ball’ tour, set to take place this autumn. Following the release of her seventh studio album, MAYHEM, which debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and topped charts in 20 other territories, the pop icon is ready to bring her electrifying performances back to the stage.
The tour will feature three nights at London’s O2 Arena on September 29, September 30, and October 2, 2025, before heading to Manchester’s Co-op Live on October 7, 2025. Tickets for these shows will go on general sale on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 12 PM BST.
Gaga, who last performed at the O2 Arena in 2014 during her ArtRave: The ArtPop Ball Tour, expressed her excitement about returning to the venue. In an Instagram post announcing the tour, she stated, “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. It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks.”
This tour marks Gaga’s first arena tour since 2018 and follows her successful Chromatica Ball tour in 2022, which visited the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With a mix of new hits from MAYHEM and her classic tracks like ‘Poker Face’ and ‘Bad Romance’, fans can expect an unforgettable experience.
The album MAYHEM has been well-received, with its lead single ‘Disease’ released in October 2024 and the second single ‘Abracadabra’ debuting at the Grammys earlier this year. The album has already amassed over 240 million streams worldwide in its first week alone, marking Gaga’s biggest streaming week ever.
Gaga’s announcement has generated significant buzz among fans, with many eager to secure their tickets. She encourages fans to prepare for the ticket sale, recalling the high demand during her previous tours. “Remember Oasis-queue-gate, people,” she humorously noted, advising fans to create accounts and log in ahead of time.
For those looking to secure tickets early, there will be pre-sale options available starting March 31, 2025, for Mastercard holders and members of Gaga’s mailing list. The general sale will follow on April 3, with tickets expected to range in price similar to her previous tours, which saw standing tickets priced between £51.65 and £266.
The MAYHEM Ball tour will extend beyond the UK, with shows planned across Europe and North America. Gaga will kick off the tour on July 16, 2025, in Las Vegas, followed by multiple dates in cities like Seattle, New York, Toronto, and Chicago.
As she prepares for this ambitious tour, Gaga emphasizes her desire to create a more intimate and theatrical experience for her fans. “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 explained.
With her impressive track record of reinvention and artistry, Lady Gaga’s upcoming tour promises to be a significant event for fans and music lovers alike. Her ability to blend pop sensibilities with theatrical flair ensures that audiences will be treated to a performance that is both entertaining and deeply personal.
As the countdown to ticket sales begins, fans are encouraged to stay tuned for updates on pricing and additional tour details. The excitement surrounding The MAYHEM Ball tour is palpable, and it’s clear that Lady Gaga is ready to deliver a show that will leave a lasting impact on her audience.
In summary, Lady Gaga’s The MAYHEM Ball tour is set to be a spectacular showcase of her latest album and a celebration of her illustrious career. With dates in London and Manchester, fans won’t want to miss this chance to see one of pop music’s most iconic figures live on stage.
