New North American dates span the spring
Lady Gaga announces a second North American leg of her sold-out Mayhem Ball Tour. Kicking off Saturday, February 14th, with two nights at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ, the new run will bring Gaga to additional cities, including Fort Worth, Atlanta, Austin, Washington, DC, and Boston. She will also return to Los Angeles and New York for two encore performances each at the Kia Forum and Madison Square Garden.
Produced by Gaga and Michael Polansky, the run expands on the conceptual world introduced at Coachella, with direction by Ben Dalgleish (Human Person), creative direction by Gaga, Polansky, Goebel and Human Person, choreography by Goebel, and costumes styled by Hunter Clem, Gaga’s sister Natali Germanotta (Topo Studio) and Hardstyle.
Tickets for the second North American leg will be available starting Wednesday, September 10, with various presales. The tour will also offer VIP packages for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, an invitation to the pre-show VIP hospitality lounge, a limited edition merch item & more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected.
The announcement follows Gaga’s highly anticipated return to the MTV VMAs this past Sunday, where she performed her new single “The Dead Dance” from Madison Square Garden and took home four awards, including Artist of the Year and Best Collaboration for “Die with a Smile,” her smash hit with Bruno Mars.
“The Dead Dance,” produced by Gaga alongside Andrew Watt and Cirkut, debuted last week with a cinematic video directed by visionary Tim Burton and produced by Michael Polansky, Burton, and Natalie Testa. Marking Gaga’s first creative collaboration with Burton, the story was brought to life on location at Isla de las Muñecas—Mexico’s infamous Island of the Dolls. The video shifts between stark black-and-white and bursts of vivid color, weaving eerie doll imagery with Gaga’s commanding performance. Costumes were designed by Colleen Atwood, with choreography from Parris Goebel and featured choreography from Corey Baker.
The song is featured in Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2 (Part 2), where Gaga makes a cameo as the mysterious Rosaline Rotwood.
The sold-out tour celebrates Gaga’s eighth studio album, Mayhem, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200—Gaga’s seventh consecutive No. 1 solo album—and remained a dominant global force, topping the Dance/Electronic Albums chart for 17 weeks, spending 12 weeks in the Top 20, and holding a Top 10 spot on the Pop Albums chart for 15 consecutive weeks. The album has since been certified platinum by the RIAA.
Her record-breaking collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” further cemented the album’s impact. It spent 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for five weeks, and broke Spotify records as the fastest song to surpass one billion (96 days) and two billion (200 days) streams.
The Mayhem Ball follows Gaga’s headlining performances at Coachella and a landmark series of international shows, including stadium dates in Mexico City and Singapore. In Rio de Janeiro, her free show at Copacabana Beach drew an estimated 2.5 million fans—setting a new record for the highest attended concert by a female artist in history.
The tour continues tomorrow with the first of three sold-out shows at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, followed by a three-night run in Chicago to wrap the first North American leg. Gaga then heads overseas, launching the UK/Europe leg on Monday, September 29th, with four nights at The O2 in London before continuing across the region. She’ll close out the year in Australia and begin 2026 with six shows in Japan this January.
