Lady Gaga has officially launched her long-awaited Mayhem Ball Tour, opening the first of 63 global dates at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena on July 16. Designed as a highly theatrical arena experience in support of her seventh studio album Mayhem, the tour brings fans closer to the pop icon in a more intimate setting.
Opting for arena venues over stadiums, Gaga leans into her performance art roots. The show is structured as a five-act theatrical journey, blending psychological drama, fashion-forward visuals, and fan-favorite hits with cinematic flair. Each act features a unique set design and narrative, co-directed by Gaga and creative partner Parris Goebel. The pop superstar opened the show with her iconic “Bloody Mary,” followed by “Abracadabra,” and “Judas,” and wrapped up the night with “Artpop.”
