Lady Gaga leaves NZ off her The Mayhem Ball World Tour dates

Lady Gaga has announced her first Australian tour in over a decade - Aotearoa left off the tour schedule.

In December 2025 the Lady Gaga will head to Australia for a three city stadium tour.

She performs first on December 5 at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, followed by December 9 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium before wrapping up on December 12 at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.

Lady Gaga last performed in New Zealand more than a decade ago in June 2012, playing three shows at Spark Arena as part of her Born This Way Ball world tour. 

Lady Gaga has recently been working with New Zealand superstar choreographer Parris Goebel, with the Auckland born dancer choreographing and co-directing the music video for Abracadabra, the second single from her latest release, Mayhem.

Goebel is also working closely with Gaga to choreograph her headlining set at this weekend’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

“These shows mark Lady Gaga’s first stadium performances in the region and her long-awaited return to Australia, her first shows since 2014’s ArtRave: The Artpop Ball—11 years ago" the email said.

In addition to the Australian shows, Lady Gaga is playing 52 additional shows around the world as part of The MAYHEM Ball tour. The tour starts in July 16 in Las Vegas, Nevada and continues with dates across North America, Brazil, Singapore, Europe and the UK in support of her new album, MAYHEM which was released in March.

Presale for the Australian dates begins Monday April 14, with general ticket sales commencing Thursday, April 17 at LiveNation.com.au.
