Lady Gaga Announces 2026 Mayhem Ball Tour, Adding NYC Dates and New Album

Lady Gaga has announced a new leg of her Mayhem Ball tour for 2026, extending the international run that followed the 2025 edition. The pop star plans to bring the spectacle back to North America next year, including three Madison Square Garden performances in New York City on March 19, 2026; March 20, 2026; and April 13, 2026. Ticket data published at publication time show the lowest price for any North American show at $143, including fees, on Vivid Seats, with other U.S. and Canada dates ranging from $145 to $385, including fees. The figures come from coverage surrounding the New York Post’s ticket round-up, and prices are subject to fluctuation.

The Mayhem Ball experience is known for its sprawling, multi-act presentation. On the most recent North American leg, Set List FM tracked a roughly 30-song set across five acts and an encore at Madison Square Garden, featuring career-spanning staples like “Poker Face,” “Paparazzi,” “Bad Romance,” and “Just Dance,” alongside tracks from Gaga’s 2025 album “Mayhem.” Billboard lauded the show at MSG on Aug. 22 for its high-concept, artfully crafted presentation, noting that different acts within the rock-operatic structure alternated, ultimately fusing into a single, chaotic-yet-beautiful whole. If you’re planning to catch Gaga live, the New York stop is positioned as a highlight of the 2026 calendar, with the rest of the tour stretching across North America and Europe.

Beyond the New York dates, the 2025-26 itinerary spans a broad international slate. The full calendar includes early-fall stops in London, Milan, Barcelona, Paris, and Berlin, with a wide-ranging North American run that features Glendale, Ariz.; Los Angeles; Fort Worth; Atlanta; Boston; and Montreal among others. Ticket prices on the broader tour vary widely by venue, preparation of the production and seating tier, but early North American gigs show a range from the mid-$100s to well over $300, with select premium seats priced higher. For example, aFebruary slate in Glendale lists prices around the mid-$200s, while New York City responses for March shows hover around the high-$300s to low-$400s in some cases. These figures come from the same round-up and are subject to change as sales proceed and secondary-market demand fluctuates.

In addition to the live shows, Gaga released her seventh studio album, “Mayhem,” on March 7. The 53-minute collection has been described as a maximalist, dance-pop project that leans into the artist’s signature propulsion, with a blend of shimmering synths, heavy percussion and bold guitars. Standout tracks include the electro-tinged “Disease,” the disco-leaning “Abracadabra,” the hypnotic “Killah,” and the glittery “Zombieboy,” with “Don’t Call Tonight” offering a retro, New Wave-inflected mood. The lead single, the duet with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” pairs sweeping romance with an upbeat tempo that complements Gaga’s expansive live ethos. Critics have framed the album as a return to form that aligns well with the theatricality of the Mayhem live show.

The broader tour landscape for 2025-26 remains packed with headline acts. The piece notes several other major tours and residencies expected to fill arenas and stadiums in the coming months, including Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Stevie Nicks and Billie Eilish. Separately, Dolly Parton is slated for a six-show Las Vegas residency this December, offering a companion modern-pop-cabaret scene alongside the year’s biggest pop spectacle. The coverage underscores how 2025-26 has become a moment for large-scale arena performances, with Gaga’s Mayhem Ball at the center of a crowded, high-profile touring season.
