Lady Gaga has announced her return to Australia for the first time in over a decade, bringing her current world tour The Mayhem Ball down under in December 2025. The shows will mark Gaga’s first-ever stadium dates in the country, having exclusively performed in either clubs or arenas on all of her previous visits. The dates, as well as pre-sale and ticketing information, can be found below.
The tour comes in support of the titular album Mayhem, Gaga’s sixth solo studio album, which was released last month (March 7th). It follows on from 2020’s Chromatica, which Gaga was only able to tour two years after its release due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since its release, Gaga also released a second collection of duets with the late Tony Bennett, 2021’s Love For Sale, and 2024’s Harlequin – a companion piece to the film Joker: Folie à Deux, in which she starred as Harley “Lee” Quinzel.
Lady Gaga – ‘Abracadabra’
Gaga first visited Australia in September of 2008 on a promotional tour for her debut album The Fame. She performed at Sydney’s Oxford Art Factory as well as Melbourne’s Federation Square. Her first headlining tour of the country followed in 2009, returning again in 2010, 2012 and 2014. The most recent tour of the country came in support of her third album Artpop, and saw her perform sold-out shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
In support of Mayhem, Gaga will head to the Colorado Desert this weekend as one of the headliners of this year’s Coachella. She joins Green Day and Post Malone as the marquee acts for 2025, and will close out the first night on Friday, April 11th. The Mayhem Ball will also see her perform in Mexico, Brazil and Singapore over the coming weeks before heading across North America.
