Lady Gaga has officially announced her highly anticipated UK tour for the "Mayhem Ball," set to take place in autumn 2025. The pop icon revealed four concert dates, including three nights at The O2 in London and a performance at Co-op Live in Manchester. This announcement comes on the heels of her latest album, "Mayhem," which has already garnered significant acclaim.
The announcement was made on March 26, 2025, with Gaga expressing her excitement about the tour. "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 shared on social media. The tour is expected to kick off in Las Vegas in July 2025 and will span across North America and Europe, concluding in France in November 2025.
Gaga's UK tour dates are as follows:
- Monday, September 29, 2025 – The O2, London
- Tuesday, September 30, 2025 – The O2, London
- Thursday, October 2, 2025 – The O2, London
- Tuesday, October 7, 2025 – Co-op Live, Manchester
Due to overwhelming demand, an additional Manchester date has been added on October 8, 2025, following the previously scheduled concert. Gaga's decision to perform in arenas rather than stadiums has sparked discussion among fans. "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," she explained.
Fans can expect a theatrical and electrifying experience that brings the album to life. The seating plans for the UK shows have been confirmed, indicating that the performances will be fully seated, including both floor and tiered seating. This setup is designed to enhance the intimate atmosphere of the concerts, offering a more personal experience for attendees.
Ticket sales for the UK dates have already begun, with presales starting on March 31, 2025. General sales will commence on April 3, 2025, at 12 PM local time. The prices for tickets range from £59.50 to £571.00, not including VIP packages, which are expected to be priced even higher. The high demand for tickets has led to some criticism from fans regarding the pricing. One fan expressed frustration on social media, stating, "£571 for tickets that are NOT EVEN VIP for Lady Gaga is f** mad. I love Gaga, but that's just taking the absolute P."
Despite the pricing concerns, some fans have managed to secure tickets at lower prices, with reports of £85 nosebleed seats being sold. However, the ticket purchasing process has not been without its challenges. Many fans experienced difficulties accessing tickets during the presale, with some reporting being stuck in queues for extended periods.
Lady Gaga's "Mayhem Ball" tour is expected to be a major event, with the UK dates being part of a larger global tour that includes performances in cities across North America and Europe. The tour will feature stops in notable locations such as Stockholm, Milan, and Paris, with tickets for these shows also going on sale in early April.
As anticipation builds, fans are eager to see how the tour will unfold. Gaga's ability to blend her music with theatrical elements promises a unique experience for concertgoers. The excitement surrounding the tour is palpable, with many fans already planning their attendance.
In addition to the UK dates, the "Mayhem Ball" tour will also include performances in major cities across Europe, including Berlin, Barcelona, and Amsterdam, with tickets for these shows expected to be in high demand as well.
With Lady Gaga's reputation for delivering unforgettable performances, the "Mayhem Ball" tour is poised to be one of the highlights of 2025 for fans of the pop superstar. As the tour approaches, more details will likely emerge, further fueling the excitement among her dedicated fanbase.
For those hoping to attend, it is advisable to act quickly once tickets become available, as the presale for the UK dates sold out in under 20 minutes, indicating the high level of interest in Gaga's return to the stage. Fans are encouraged to stay updated on ticket availability and additional tour announcements as the launch date approaches.
