Lady Gaga is ready to hit the road again, announcing a world tour that will grace Chicago with two nights of her musical prowess. According to WGN-TV, the "Bad Romance" singer revealed her "Mayhem Ball" tour today, and fans in Chicago should mark their calendars for September 15 and 17 when she takes over the United Center.
The unexpected decision to tour came after Lady Gaga experienced an "incredible response" to her latest album "Mayhem," which she initially had no intentions to extensively promote with a tour. In an Instagram post, Gaga expressed her enthusiasm: "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." Gaga’s Chicago performances are part of a limited run in the U.S., which also includes stops in Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, and Miami, rounding out the tour with a slot in Toronto, CBS News Chicago reports.
While previous tours saw Lady Gaga filling up stadiums, this time, she's aiming for the more intimate setting of arenas. "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 told her fans. With such a setup, attendees can likely expect a more personalized experience, something that the pop icon seems keen to provide.
Those looking to snag tickets need not wait much longer. Pre-sales are slated to begin Monday, and the general public can start buying on April 3 at noon. This year also saw Lady Gaga adding more hardware to her collection, as she and Bruno Mars scooped up a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with "Die With a Smile," a track that had also nabbed a nomination for Song of the Year, as noted by CBS News Chicago.
