Little Monsters, the wait is over… the first set of dates for Lady Gaga’s new tour THE BORN THIS WAY BALL are here! The tour kicks off April 27th in Seoul, South Korea and will travel the world during 2012-2013. Of the new tour, Gaga said “The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage. THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.”
Ticket on-sales begin next Friday, February 17th via LiveNation.com. More dates to be announced soon! Check back for updated on-sale information and ticket links as they’re available.
The above is good news and bad news. While it’s great Gaga has announced a 110 date tour, Mother Monster’s North American trek will not begin until 2013. Live Nation is still organizing those dates, plus those for Europe and Latin America. As soon as presale information is available, it will be posted here.
“The Born This Way Ball is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating,” said Lady Gaga in a release, posted to her website.
Gaga Tweeted a pic of the poster to her tour today, and posted a stage plot for the Ball earlier this week. The poster features the entertainer as half-keytar and her face hovering over a castle; the arena sketch also goes hand-in-hand with the medieval theme. Shows will feature a “Monster Pit” area for the crowd, “relegated to the fans who have arrived first, waited all night, + dressed to ‘Ball.’”
Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour grossed about $188 million over the course of 2010-2011, with 167 performances. This tour is named after her newest album “Born This Way,” released last year.
