Context and background
The Mayhem Ball first launched in July 2024 in Las Vegas, timed with the release of Lady Gaga’s album Mayhem, which reached the top position on the Billboard 200 chart. The extended North American leg announced in September 2025 follows a slate of international dates already scheduled for Europe, Australia, and Japan in 2025 and early 2026.
Lady Gaga’s most recent Texas performance prior to this extension was in Arlington in 2022 as part of The Chromatica Ball. The new tour announcement came shortly after a high-profile awards period in which she received multiple awards, including Artist of the Year at a major music awards show. Around the same time, she released a new song titled The Dead Dance, which is featured in the Netflix series Wednesday.
What fans should expect
Fans attending the added Texas dates can expect a production built around the Mayhem Ball concept, with large-scale staging, choreography, and visual elements consistent with previous legs of the tour. VIP ticket options will offer enhanced seating and merchandise packages, and multiple presale windows will provide early access for specific customer groups and promotional partners.
