Overview
- Gaga’s Mayhem Ball tour kicked off July 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas with a 27-song lineup that interweaves new tracks from her seventh album, Mayhem, with career-spanning hits.
- The concert is structured into four poetic acts plus a finale, featuring Broadway-style staging, elaborate costumes and thematic visuals exploring chaos and wonder.
- Highlights included a gondola performance of “Shallow” with a new arrangement, a piano-led crowd singalong of “Die With a Smile,” and deep cuts such as “Applause” and “Summerboy.”
- The North American leg runs through Sept. 17 across seven cities—Las Vegas, Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Toronto and Chicago—before the tour moves to Europe from late September through November.
- The night closed with a surprise encore of “How Bad Do U Want Me,” as Gaga reemerged in casual attire, including a Cramps t-shirt, for one last turn on stage.
