The Mayhem Ball

The Mayhem Ball is the eighth concert tour by the American singer Lady Gaga, in support of her album Mayhem (2025). The tour was announced following the strong response to the album, having initially planned only a brief run of outdoor promotional concerts. Spanning 87 shows across Asia, Europe, North America and Oceania, the tour commenced on July 16, 2025, at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, United States, and is scheduled to conclude on April 13, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Conceived as a theatrical production divided into acts, the tour was produced by Gaga and Michael Polansky, and directed by Gaga and Ben Dalgleish of Human Person, with choreography by Parris Goebel. Primarily designed for arenas to allow greater creative control, the show combines large-scale staging, narrative elements, and couture-inspired fashion, with its main set piece being a Colosseum-like opera house. Its storyline explores themes of duality, death, and rebirth, expanding upon the operatic and psychological motifs of the album. The setlist consists primarily of songs from Mayhem, along with tracks from most of her previous albums.

The Mayhem Ball received widespread critical acclaim for its theatricality, Gaga's vocal performance, and the production design, costumes, and choreography. Critics also described it as a celebration of her career, with reviews across multiple countries being overwhelmingly positive. The first North American leg grossed over $103 million from 27 reported shows, marking her highest-grossing run in any territory, with Billboard projecting total earnings to exceed $300 million. In 2025, the Mayhem Ball was the highest-grossing pop tour by a female artist and the second-highest overall, while grossing $296 million from 68 shows as of March 2026.
