Lady Gaga announced new tour dates this week. She will play in San Francisco this summer. The multi-Grammy Award winner added seven California shows to her upcoming global tour.
Lady Gaga will bring the Mayhem Ball tour to North America starting in July. This tour supports her new album, "Mayhem." The record released in March.
Fans in Northern California can see the artist at Chase Center. She scheduled three performances there. The concerts are set for July 22, July 24, and July 26, 2025.
After her recent headlining appearance at the Coachella festival, demand for live shows increased. She delivered a theatrical set there. Critics noted her powerful performance.
In addition to San Francisco, Lady Gaga announced four concerts in the Los Angeles area. Those shows will take place at the Kia Forum in Inglewood. They are scheduled for July 28, July 29, August 1, and August 2.
Gaga explained her choice of arenas for this tour. She said arenas allow her more control over show details. She aims for a theatrical and electrifying experience. She feels this brings the "Mayhem" album to life.
The Mayhem Ball marks her first arena tour in seven years. Her previous major tour supported the "Chromatica" album. Her last major tour included a stop at Oracle Park in San Francisco. That tour played stadiums.
The "Mayhem" album features diverse musical styles. It includes dance tracks like "Abracadabra" and "Disease." It also contains her popular duet with Bruno Mars, "Die With a Smile."
She previously spoke about the album in an interview. "The record is full of my love of music — so many different genres, so many different styles, so many different dreams," she said. "It leaps around genre in a way that’s almost corrupt. And it ends with love. That’s the answer to all the chaos in my life is that I find peace with love."
