Pop Superstar Lady Gaga Expands Acclaimed “Mayhem Ball” with Two Dozen New Dates Across North America Following Quadruple MTV VMA Win
Los Angeles, CA – Fresh off a triumphant showing at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, global phenomenon Lady Gaga, 39, has announced a significant expansion of her sold-out “The Mayhem Ball” tour, adding 24 new dates across North America that will extend the electrifying spectacle into 2026. The announcement, made on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, promises “mayhem” for legions of her devoted “Little Monsters” in major cities including Los Angeles, Boston, Washington D.C., and Montreal.
The tour’s highly anticipated new leg will kick off on February 14, 2026, with a two-night engagement at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. It will then weave through 10 additional cities, featuring multiple performances in several locations, including a return to iconic venues like New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. This expansion comes after an “incredible response” to her recent album, *Mayhem*, which she initially hadn’t planned to tour extensively beyond a string of shows in Singapore. Gaga previously shared on Instagram in March 2025 that she opted for arenas over stadiums to “control the details of the show in a way you simply can’t in stadiums,” promising a “theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it.”
The news arrives just days after the “Abracadabra” singer dominated the 2025 MTV VMAs on Sunday, September 7, where she clinched four prestigious awards. Gaga was honored with the coveted Artist of the Year award, Best Collaboration for her chart-topping hit “Die with a Smile” featuring Bruno Mars, and both Best Direction and Best Art Direction for her visually stunning “Abracadabra” music video. In an emotional acceptance speech for Artist of the Year, she dedicated her win to her fanbase, stating, “Thank you, little monsters, my fans, for always supporting me and always supporting the monster in me.”
Amidst the tour expansion, Gaga also confirmed the rescheduling of her Miami show at the Kaseya Center. Originally slated for Wednesday, September 3, the performance was postponed due to vocal strain and will now take place on Friday, March 13, 2026. “The Mayhem Ball” tour is a collaborative production helmed by Lady Gaga herself and Michael Polansky.
