Fresh off her Artist of the Year win at Sunday’s Video Music Awards and the completion of her second Madison Square Garden run in as many months that same evening, Lady Gaga has officially extended her acclaimed Mayhem Ball Tour into 2026 [get tickets].
After kicking off Saturday, February 14th, 2026 with two nights at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ, the new run of Lady Gaga Mayhem Ball Tour dates will bring the lavish, theatrical production to a number of new markets including Fort Worth, TX (2/28, 3/1), Atlanta, GA (3/4, 3/5), Austin, TX (3/8, 3/9), Washington, D.C. (3/23, 3/24), Boston, MA (3/29), Montreal, QC (4/2, 4/3), and Saint Paul, MN (4/9, 4/10).
The tour’s 2026 North American leg will also include newly added encore performances at Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum (2/18, 2/19) and New York, NY’s Madison Square Garden (3/19, 3/20). Gaga previously brought her Mayhem Ball Tour to Kia Forum for four shows in five nights in late July/early August 2025 and logged two separate, multi-night stingts at Madison Square Garden in August and September 2025, respectively.
Produced by Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky, The Mayhem Ball expands upon the conceptual world Gaga introduced at Coachella this past spring, with direction by Ben Dalgleish (Human Person); choreography by Parris Goebel; creative direction by Gaga, Polansky, Goebel and Human Person; and costumes styled by Hunter Clem, Gaga’s sister Natali Germanotta (Topo Studio) and HARDSTYLE.
The Mayhem Ball Tour follows Gaga’s 2025 headlining performances at Coachella and a landmark series of international shows, including stadium dates in Mexico City and Singapore. In Rio de Janeiro, her free show at Copacabana Beach drew an estimated 2.5 million fans—setting a new record for the highest attended concert by a female artist in history.

The tour celebrates Lady Gaga’s 2025 studio album, MAYHEM, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200—Gaga’s seventh consecutive No. 1 solo album. The album has since been Certified Platinum by the RIAA. Her record-breaking collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile”, initially released as a stand-alone single and later included on the LP, further cemented the album’s impact. The track spent 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for five weeks, and broke Spotify records as the fastest song to surpass both 1 billion (96 days) and 2 billion (200 days) streams.
The announcement of the tour’s early-2026 return to North America continues a massive week for Lady Gaga. In addition to her appearance at the VMAs, where she won multiple awards and delivered a live performance, she debuted a new single and video, “The Dead Dance”, directed by famed filmmaker Tim Burton. Marking Gaga’s first creative collaboration with Burton, the story was brought to life on location at Isla de las Muñecas—Mexico’s infamous Island of the Dolls. The video shifts between stark black-and-white and bursts of vivid color, weaving eerie doll imagery with Gaga’s transfixing performance. Costumes were designed by Colleen Atwood, with choreography from Parris Goebel and featured choreography from Corey Baker.
The new song was featured in Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2 (Part 2), in which Gaga makes a cameo as the mysterious Rosaline Rotwood. Watch the official video for “The Dead Dance” by Lady Gaga below.
