Lady Gaga Extends ‘Mayhem Ball’ Tour With 2026 North American Dates

Fresh off a triumphant four-win night at the 2025 MTV VMAs, Lady Gaga has expanded her monumental "Mayhem Ball" tour with a second North American leg. The newly confirmed dates will launch on February 14, 2026, at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, extending a global itinerary that has already included sold-out performances across Europe, Australia, and Japan. Major venues like New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum will host return engagements, underscoring Gaga’s sustained box office power.

The tour has drawn acclaim from critics, with Variety’s Chris Willman describing it as “the quintessential large-scale tour of the year” and noting that Gaga “is in the best, most enviable position she’s ever been in.” The production is helmed by Gaga and Michael Polansky, with creative direction from Gaga, Polansky, choreographer Richy Jackson, and the art collective Human Person. Costume design is a collaboration between Hunter Clem, Gaga’s sister Natali Germanotta of Topo Studio, and the fashion label Hardstyle. This announcement arrives shortly after the release of her latest single, “The Dead Dance,” which was created for the Netflix series "Wednesday" under the direction of Tim Burton.

General ticket sales for the added shows begin on Wednesday, September 10. Ahead of the public on-sale, Citi cardholders can secure seats starting September 10 at 12pm local time via the Citi Entertainment program, while Verizon customers gain access on September 11. A variety of VIP experiences will also be available, offering perks such as premium seats, entry to an exclusive lounge, and specially designed merchandise.

The 2026 itinerary opens with two nights in Glendale before traveling to Los Angeles, Fort Worth, Atlanta, Austin, Miami, New York, Washington D.C., Boston, Montreal, and Saint Paul. A previously postponed Miami performance has been rescheduled for March 13. This expansion reflects both overwhelming fan demand and Gaga’s deliberate touring strategy, which often involves multiple shows in major metropolitan hubs to maximize reach and impact.

Before the new leg commences, Gaga will wrap up her remaining 2025 North American dates in Toronto and Chicago, followed by an extensive international schedule. Highlights include four nights at London’s O2 Arena—a venue renowned for hosting the world’s top touring acts—along with stadium stops in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane, and dome concerts in Osaka and Tokyo. The sheer geographic scope of "The Mayhem Ball" reaffirms Lady Gaga’s standing as a visionary and indefatigable force in contemporary pop performance.
