After more than a decade of absence, Lady Gaga is set to return to Mexico City for two highly anticipated concerts at the GNP Seguros Stadium on April 26 and 27, 2025. This tour, titled "Viva la Mayhem," not only marks her comeback to the international stage but also celebrates the release of her new album, "Mayhem," which has been described as her most experimental and daring work to date.
Fans have eagerly awaited this moment since Gaga last performed in Mexico in 2012 during her "Born This Way Ball Tour." The excitement surrounding her return has been palpable, with over 120,000 attendees expected across the two nights. The stage setup for the concerts is already underway, following the performance of Spanish band Hombres G on April 23, 2025. Initial images suggest that the stage will feature two giant screens on the sides, a long walkway leading to a secondary platform, and a massive main screen at the back, reminiscent of the elaborate staging she utilized at Coachella 2025.
Gaga's setlist is designed to take attendees on a journey through her musical career, featuring a mix of hits from her past albums alongside songs from "Mayhem." Confirmed tracks include classics like "Poker Face," "Bad Romance," and "Born This Way," as well as new compositions such as "Abracadabra," "Die With a Smile," and "Disease." Rumors also suggest that the shows in Mexico and Brazil may feature additional surprises, possibly including special covers or unique arrangements of her songs.
As fans prepare for the concerts, they are reminded of the various logistical details. The concerts are scheduled to begin at 9:00 PM, with doors opening at 5:00 PM. Attendees are encouraged to plan their transportation in advance, especially given the concurrent concert by Katy Perry at the Arena CDMX. Public transport options include the Metro Line 9 and the Metrobús Line 2, both of which have stations near the stadium.
To ensure a smooth entry, fans should be aware of prohibited items at the venue. According to Ticketmaster, items such as sharp objects, professional cameras, food and drinks, and large bags will not be allowed. However, attendees can bring sunglasses, external batteries for phones, earplugs, and non-professional cameras, among other items.
