It’s official: Lady Gaga is back in New York City this week after three years away, and she’s bringing her blockbuster Mayhem Ball Tour to Madison Square Garden for three electrifying nights, August 22–26, 2025.
The 14-time Grammy winner, Oscar, and Golden Globe recipient, and global fashion icon is ready to celebrate her new album Mayhem with fans in her hometown. Tickets sold out within hours, making this one of the hottest live events of the year.
What Lady Gaga Said About the Tour
On Instagram, Gaga explained why she extended her world tour:
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. 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.
Expect nothing less than spectacle: dazzling visuals, elaborate costumes, high-energy choreography, and Gaga’s signature powerhouse vocals.
