Lady Gaga Launches The MAYHEM Ball Tour In Las Vegas

Lady Gaga kicked off her The MAYHEM Ball Tour last night in Las Vegas. The pop star treated fans at T-Mobile Arena to a career-spanning performance featuring a mix of live debuts, classics and rarities.

The MAYHEM Ball Tour, Lady Gaga’s first arena tour since 2018, follows the February release of her latest album, Mayhem. The singer-songwriter fit 13 of the LP’s 14 songs into her setlist on Wednesday.

Last night’s concert was divided into four distinct “acts,” a finale and lone encore. Gaga looked to 2011’s Born This Way to start the tour opener with “Bloody Mary” and “Judas,” which were split by Mayhem track “Abracadabra.” The first act also included “Aura,” “Scheiße,” “Garden Of Eden” and 2008 hit “Poker Face.”

The theatrical show proceeded with a second act that saw Gaga perform the beloved “Paparazzi” in full for the first time in over a decade. “Paparazzi” trailed Mayhem cuts “Perfect Celebrity” and “Disease” and was followed by oldies “LoveGame” and “Alejandro.” Lady Gaga ended the act on guitar with her first full performance of Mayhem’s “The Beast.”

Mayhem was also the focus of the third act as “Killah” and “Zombieboy” led into the live debut of the LP’s “LoveDrug.” Gaga then played condensed versions of “Applause,” last performed in 2020, and “Just Dance.” It was back to the new album to get the fourth act underway via “Shadow Of A Man” and the live premiere of “Kill For Love.” From there, Gaga was back on guitar for her first “Summerboy” performance since 2007.

The next portion of the show saw Gaga run through hits “Born This Way,” “Million Reasons” and “Shallow” before she went solo for Mayhem standout “Die With A Smile” and played “Vanish Into You” from the 2025 record. Lady Gaga wrapped the show with “Bad Romance” and “How Bad Do U Want Me.”

Over 60 more shows are planned through January 30, 2026. Lady Gaga will bring The MAYHEM Ball Tour to Australia, Europe and Japan after finishing the North American leg.
