Lady Gaga's Grand Return: The 2025 Mayhem Ball Tour

Lady Gaga is bringing her electrifying presence back to live music with the just-announced Mayhem Ball Tour in 2025. After years away from large-scale, headlining arena tours, the singer is set to bring her chart-topping album Mayhem to dozens of cities across North America, the UK, and Europe, making this her first full tour of arenas since 2018. Fans have already kicked off a frenzy, leading Gaga to add even more dates in several major cities.

This isn’t just another tour. Gaga is known for her unpredictable, high-concept stage work, but this time, she’s aiming for something different. Instead of filling vast stadiums, she’s chosen a closer, more theatrical vibe for her shows. "I want the audience to feel the electricity," Gaga said enthusiastically in her tour announcement. These controlled stage designs promise not only epic visuals and choreography but also a deeper connection with fans—a feature long-time Little Monsters have been craving.

The curtain rises on July 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, kicking off a whirlwind journey that covers iconic locations like Seattle, New York, Miami, Toronto, London, Milan, Berlin, and Paris. The grand finale will take place on November 20, somewhere fans are already speculating will be announced as a secret show. Extra demand has pushed organizers to expand the run—Chicago, for example, will now host three gigs (September 15, 17, and 18 at United Center) instead of the originally planned single date. In total, 13 additional shows have popped up on the itinerary, a testament to Gaga’s undiminished star power.

Ticket presales started on April 2, and the rush has been real. Major ticketing sites saw digital queues stretching into the thousands within hours of presale opening. General ticket sales are now rolling out, and securing a spot won’t be easy—with the promise of both classic bangers and dramatic, theatrical new tracks from Mayhem, fans are plotting out travel plans and refreshing ticketing pages in hopes of scoring a seat.

Gaga’s return comes at a moment when her album Mayhem is riding high at the top of the Billboard 200, and singles like "Monster Parade" and "Fever Dream" flood radio playlists. She’s hyped up the tour as her most creatively ambitious yet, hinting at mind-blowing visuals, intricate dance routines, and those powerhouse vocals that set her apart from other pop icons. The main difference? Intimacy—she wants fans close enough to catch every lyric and emotion, ditching the distance of previous mega stadium tours for a show that feels personal in style yet massive in scale.

Whether you’re hoping for a taste of her newer tracks or just want to belt out classics like "Bad Romance" and "Shallow," the Mayhem Ball Tour promises a packed setlist that blends old favorites with her latest creative twists. Little Monsters know that when Gaga hits the road, anything can happen—expect the unexpected and plenty of surprises along the way.
