Why Is Lady Gaga Doing a Smaller ‘Mayhem’ Tour?

Lady Gaga is taking Mayhem on the road.

The pop icon revealed that she wasn’t originally planning on touring this year. However, after a few pre-planned shows in Mexico, Brazil and Singapore, the “incredible response to the new album (Mayhem) inspired me to keep things going.”

“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. 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,” she wrote on Instagram on Wednesday (Mar. 26).

“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. See you soon, monsters,” Gaga added.

The Mayhem Ball tour kicks off in July in Vegas, making stops across North America, Europe and the U.K.

The hit album features the self-love bop “Abracadabra,” her smash duet with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” and lead single, “Disease.”
