LADY GAGA is Bringing it All to Australia, Here’s What to Expect
Pop icon and boundary-pushing performer Lady Gaga is officially heading back to Australia with her massive The Mayhem Ball tour, set to hit stadiums across the country this December. Marking her first shows on Aussie soil in over a decade, and her first-ever stadium performances here, the tour promises a jaw-dropping production, a theatrical five-act set, and a powerhouse setlist drawn from her latest album Mayhem and fan favourites alike.
Australia Gets the Gaga Treatment
Following rave reviews from her headline shows at Coachella, Mexico City, and Singapore, Gaga’s Australian dates are shaping up to be some of her biggest yet. With multiple stadium shows confirmed across Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney, the demand has been overwhelming – forcing the addition of a second Sydney show within days of tickets going on sale.

Setlist: Career Spanning & Mayhem-Fueled
Based on her recent live shows, Aussie fans can expect a theatrical five-act performance, weaving together Mayhem’s gothic-glam energy with classic Gaga hits. Her Coachella set — which may serve as a blueprint — included new bangers like “Killah,” “Abracadabra,” “Garden of Eden,” and “Perfect Celebrity,” alongside career-defining anthems such as “Poker Face,” “Judas,” “Shallow,” and “Born This Way.”
The show closes with her timeless mega-hit “Bad Romance,” reimagined for the tour with dazzling choreography and massive production.
Each act is thematically distinct — think dark cabaret, religious symbolism, apocalyptic fashion, and larger-than-life monsters — all underscored by choreography from none other than Parris Goebel (Rihanna, J.Lo).
Expect Theatrics, Drama, and Pure Gaga
If her Coachella and Singapore shows are anything to go by, The Mayhem Ball isn’t just a concert — it’s a full-blown musical theatre meets rave experience. Gaga battles on-stage beasts, climbs glittering gothic towers, and belts out torch songs from neon pulpits. It’s camp, it’s chaos, and it’s classic Gaga.
Fans can also look forward to custom visuals, extravagant costume changes, and a live band that blends pop, rock, and electronic flourishes to deliver an experience unlike anything else on the global tour circuit right now.
Support Act Still Under Wraps
At the time of writing, no official support act has been announced for the Australian shows. However, with Gaga’s reputation for curating avant-garde and high-energy openers, fans can expect something special – possibly a rising star from the local scene or an international dark-pop name to set the tone.
Final Word
This will be Lady Gaga’s first Australian tour since 2014’s ArtRAVE, and it promises to be her most ambitious yet. With The Mayhem Ball, she’s turning stadiums into gothic playgrounds, preaching pop like a pulpit queen, and reminding the world why she remains one of music’s most dynamic live performers.
If you’ve never seen Gaga live or even if you have, this is the one you don’t want to miss.
