From 'Chromatica Ball' to 'Mayhem Ball': Gaga's Touring History and What to Expect
'The MAYHEM Ball' is Lady Gaga's first tour since 'The Chromatica Ball' in 2022. That tour was a massive stadium run that was unfortunately delayed for two years due to the pandemic. It was eventually turned into an amazing HBO concert special 'Gaga Chromatica Ball' in 2024 which showed just how epic those shows were.
Fun fact Gaga even revealed she performed some of those Chromatica Ball shows while sick with COVID because she didn't want to let her fans down. Talk about dedication!

Gaga is known for her theatrical performances so expect 'The MAYHEM Ball' to be a visual and sonic spectacle tailored for the arena setting.
