Lady Gaga has announced her first tour in Australia in 11 years.
The ‘Just Dance’ hitmaker will bring ‘The MAYHEM Ball Tour’ to Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on December 5, Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on December 9 and Sydney’s Accor Stadium on December 12.
The last time Gaga toured Down Under was on the 2014 ‘ArtRave: The Artpop Ball’ jaunt.
It will mark her debut stadium shows in the country.
The recently announced UK leg will see the ‘Abracadabra’ singer play shows in London and Manchester.
Gaga set three nights at London’s O2 Arena on September 29, 20, and October 2, before she plays Manchester’s Co-op Live on October 7.
The ‘Poker Face’ singer last played The O2 in 2014.
Fans were left gobsmacked by the hefty prices when tickets went on sale last week, with one fan remarking on X/Twitter: “Lady Gaga needs to be arrested for her tour prices that is criminal.”
On Live Nation, standard tickets for London were reportedly £313.65, while on Ticketmaster the starting price was £212.60.
Responding to the disappointment from fans, a Ticketmaster spokesperson told LADbible: “Ticketmaster does not use any form of algorithmic or surge pricing, which changes prices automatically in response to consumer demand. Ticketmaster also does not use any form of differential pricing by which the price of a ticket will depend on the characteristics or behaviour of the purchaser.”
Gaga recently revealed she didn’t intend to tour this year in support of her latest LP ‘Mayhem’.
She wrote on social media: “I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going.”
