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

(Variety) – Two days after her four big wins at the 2025 MTV VMAs, Lady Gaga has announced a second North American leg of her “Mayhem Ball” tour. The new dates, which follow jaunts in Europe, Australia and Japan, launch on Valentine’s Day, 2026 (February 14), with two nights at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, AZ, and continue across the continent, with return engagements at New York’s Madison Square Garden and Los Angeles’ Forum.

Variety‘s Chris Willman called the show “the quintessential large-scale tour of the year (or at least go down as caught up in a tie with Beyonce’s),” adding that “Gaga is in the best, most enviable position she’s ever been in — doing stuff that rates with the things fans consider their favorites, and completely avoiding the schadenfreude that ought to be afflicting anyone 17 years into her superstardom.”
