Lady Gaga announces first Australian show dates in 11 years with The Mayhem Ball Tour

It’s time to get your paws up little monsters, because Mother is returning to Australia!

After much anticipation, Lady Gaga has officially announced the Australian leg of The MAYHEM Ball tour, adding 3 stadium dates to her global itinerary. These shows mark the 14-time Grammy Winner’s long-awaited return to the region, and her first dates in Australia since 2014’s ArtRave: The ARTPOP BallAustralian fans can experience The MAYHEM Ball tour commencing December 5 at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium, followed by December 9 at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium and on December 12 at Sydney’s Accor Stadium.

Taking the world by storm, Gaga’s supporting album MAYHEM continues to dominate the charts and break records. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, marking her seventh consecutive No. 1 album. In its third week, it remains one of the biggest releases of the year, still holding Top 10 positions across key charts including The Billboard 200, Digital Albums, and Billboard Top 200 Pop Albums chart. Further, it’s so far the fastest-selling international release of the year, debuting at No. 1 in 12 countries, including the U.S., UK, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Mexico, Brazil, and South Korea.

A return to Gaga’s pop roots, reaffirming that she is a master of reinvention, crafting an album that is as bold and eclectic as it is deeply personal. MAYHEM is a declaration of artistic freedom, embracing the fractured pieces of oneself and how they come together to form something unexpected and beautiful. The album mirrors this concept with its diverse sonic palette and thematic layers, combining elements of chaos, defiance, and vulnerability into a cohesive artistic statement. Gaga describes this process as assembling a shattered mirror: “Even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something memorable and whole in its own way.
