It’s officially time to come out and play, Little Monsters.
Mother Lady Gaga just announced she’s jetting off on her international ‘Mayhem Ball Tour’ this summer and fall in support of her critically-acclaimed 2025 record “Mayhem.”
Midway through the North American leg of the run, the New York native will take part in a homecoming of sorts when she headlines back-to-back-to-back shows at Madison Square Garden.
Her three Manhattan-based shows are set to take place Friday, Aug. 22, Saturday, Aug. 23 and Tuesday, Aug. 26.
Other notable stops for the recent “SNL” host and musical guest include Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena (July 16, 18), Miami’s Kaseya Center (Aug. 31 and Sept. 1) and Chicago’s United Center (Sept. 15, 17).
Eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that this ‘Mayhem’ outing is largely arena-based whereas 2022’s ‘Chromatica Ball Tour’ was almost exclusively a stadium affair and included a gig at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium. According to the 14-time Grammy winner, this was intentional.
“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,” Gaga, 38, shared on Instagram. “This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it.”
Yes, Gaga is truly one of the few artists that thinks of 30,000-40,000 seats arenas as “intimate.”
Prior to the run, the enigmatic pop star will headline at the 2025 Coachella Music and Arts Festival this April alongside big names like Charli XCX, Green Day, Post Malone and more.

Lady Gaga new music
On March 7, Lady Gaga dropped her seventh studio album “Mayhem.”
The energetic, maximalist dance pop record — which many rightly call a return to form — rarely takes a moment to breathe (save for the final two tracks, which veer into singalong ballad territory). Over its 53-minute runtime, Gaga goes hard providing her signature powerful vocals over shimmery synths, thumping percussion and the occasional epic guitar riff. And, yes, it’s a blast.
Standouts here include the anthemic, electro “Disease,” disco jam “Abracadabra,” creepy, hypnotic bop “Killah,” glittery foot-stomper “Zombieboy” and retro, New Wave-esque “Don’t Call Tonight.”
Still, our top track has to be the lead single, Gaga’s throwback “Die With A Smile” duet with Bruno Mars. Sweeping yet intimate and thrillingly romantic, the heartfelt tune pairs perfectly as an upbeat counterpart to her “Shallow.” It’s essential and will likely become a staple at Gaga tours for the next few decades.
If you’d like to listen to the record right now and find your own favorite song, “Mayhem” can be found here.
Lady Gaga on “SNL”
A day after the release of her album, Gaga hit “Saturday Night Live’s” Studio 8H where she pulled double duty as host and musical guest.
Over the course of a rather solid episode, the game actress poked fun at how her recent flop “Joker II: Folie a Deux” won a Razzie in her self-deprecating monologue, encouraged a down-on-his-luck mouse to participate in a weightlifting competition, sang a bizarro cover of Eric Clapton’s “Wonderful Tonight” with Bowen Yang, played a Roaring ’20s-inspired funeral pitchwoman and scored major laughs in a commercial parodying mascara that runs all over your face for attention purposes.
In the latter half of the show, Gaga rocked out as a hellish Friendly’s employee scolding a customer for claiming it was their birthday, promoting little red glasses for middle-aged women and calling out the overusage of the word “Slay” via song.
And, to top it all off, she delivered ambitious, towering performances of “Abracadabra” and “Killah” that featured dance moves as dazzling and dizzying as the songs themselves.
To see all of the above for yourself, catch the episode on Peacock.
