Lady Gaga Mayhem tour news is electrifying fans across North America as the iconic pop star announced an extension to her wildly popular Mayhem Ball tour for early 2026. Following a blockbuster 2025 tour leg through Europe, Australia, and Asia, Gaga returns to perform in cities she missed or where demand called for encore performances. The second leg kicks off on February 14, 2026, at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, embracing intimate arena settings that highlight Gaga’s theatrical essence and musical prowess.
The Tour’s New Chapter: What to Expect
The Mayhem Ball tour initially launched in the summer of 2025 with a series of arena shows across the United States. It combined high-concept theatricality, sophisticated choreography, and a musical mix of Mayhem tracks and timeless hits like “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance.” Guided by choreographer Parris Goebel and costume designers Hunter Clem and Gaga’s sister Natali Germanotta, the tour blends spectacle with storytelling, aiming for a more personal and creative experience than typical stadium shows.
The newly announced North American leg includes over 20 shows, with a notable return to two marquee venues: the Kia Forum in Los Angeles and Madison Square Garden in New York City, each hosting multiple performances. Other stops feature cities like Atlanta, Miami, Boston, Montreal, Washington, D.C., and Saint Paul.
