Little Monsters – Lady Gaga is hitting the road with her new album MAYHEM for The MAYHEM Ball Tour, and it's going to be something you won't want to miss!  

Gaga turned to social media early Wednesday (March 26) morning to announce that she's gearing up for a summer tour that's all about bringing fans closer to her than ever before. After headlining Coachella and playing a free show in Brazil, she's ready to kick things off in a whole new way.

"This is my first arena tour since 2018," Gaga said in a statement. "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." 

So, why the switch to arenas? Gaga explained that the demand for her new album, MAYHEM, had caused her to think differently. 

"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," the hitmaker wrote on Instagram. "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." 

Gaga continued, "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. The MAYHEM Ball Tour is officially coming your way," she added. 

Gaga will kick things off in Las Vegas on July 16 and 18, then head to cities across North America and Europe – including New York, Chicago, London, and Milan. The grand finale will be a three-night stand in Paris, wrapping up on November 20.

Fans can register for pre-sale now, but it will end on March 30 at 8 a.m. ET.  Pre-sale will begin on March 31 and wrap on April 2. However, general admission will be available to purchase on April 3 starting at 12 p.m. local time. 

Little Monsters are ready to fight for tickets but know it won't be easy. With Gaga opting for intimate arenas instead of massive stadiums, demand is through the roof – one fan even summed it up best: "WELCOME TO HUNGER GAMES MOTHERF*****S👹👹👹." 

Despite the impending chaos of long virtual queues, fans are excited to see her creative vision come to life. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the pop icon up close before she inevitably returns to selling out stadiums.
