Lady GaGa - The Monster Ball Tour

[Lucas]

"International pop superstar Lady Gaga today announced plans for her next North American tour, entitled "The Monster Ball." The tour will begin on November 27 in Montreal, and will wind up on January 21, 2010 in Gaga's hometown, New York City. Kid Cudi will be the supporting act for the entire tour.

Says Lady Gaga, "The Haus of Gaga had been designing 'The Monster Ball' for premiere in 2010 at the O2 Arena in London, but due to diligent work and preparation, 'The Monster Ball' will begin on November 27 in Montreal. 'The Monster Ball' is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever 'pop electro opera.'"

Lady Gaga will release a re-package of her breakthrough album, The Fame, called The Fame Monster, earlier that week, on November 23. The re-package will include eight brand new songs, including the club-banging first single "Bad Romance." Continues Lady Gaga, "A message to all my little monsters: The Fame Monster will come out four days before the first live show. You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along. Dress accordingly."

"Club-banging", eh?

Her fans will certainly be freaking out, trying to learn all the words to her new stuff haha. Nothing beats obsessed pop fans.

So this is what was the Kanye tour is it? Minus Kanye that is. Or is it something seperate?

 

[Viv]

Hmm. Extremely tempting. San Francisco is gonna sell right out. HELLA fast.

So it's defiately coming to the UK next year? Can't wait. And i hope it's Kid Cudi-less at the O2. Can't stand him.

 

[gingermanchild]

She'll be coming to the UK too, right? Please tell me she will.

 

[twatsnacks]

I presume it is the same performances, slightly tweaked now that she has full control of the entire show.

She'll be coming to the UK too, right? Please tell me she will.

That article says she was going to premiere the tour at O2 Arena in London in 2010, so I think it's safe to say she will be doing a UK arena tour.

 

[killthelights]

^ I doubt she will. I don't see why certain performers think they're above it, though - if Pink can do a number of Scottish dates then so should Gaga. I'd love to see her but I wouldn't travel down south for it.

 

[PopGoesCanberra]

Hope this is the same tour she does in Australia, for which I have tix in Sydney in March!

At least you live near San Francisco. I'm dead jealous! [/grumble] Ha!

I must see her when she tours the UK. I think it will be quite an experience...

 

[killthelights]

Yes. Although Pink's not my favourite artist I think she seems awfully nice for stopping off even in Aberdeen! I can't remember many high profile artists performing there.

And very true, I saw Kylie and Britney in the SECC and there's no good reason why Gaga shouldn't come a little further up north!

 

[LPMA]

Oooh she's opening here!

 

[Christopher]

I'm pissed about the dates. My best friend can't get out of work early enough on the 18th to make it to Vegas, and I'm supposed to leave for my folks' house on the 21st. Shit. Gaga, you've ruined my Xmas plans!!!!

 

[Someboy]

Terrible schedule.

 

[Michael]

I guess this is why those 2 o2 Arena dates for March next year appeared on Ticketmaster and were then pulled quickly after.

Must have been ready to put UK tour on sale, then Kanye tour went tits up.

I hope the Monster Ball Tour hasn't been comprimised in quality due to it being rushed.

 

[peachonice]

Yes. Although Pink's not my favourite artist I think she seems awfully nice for stopping off even in Aberdeen! I can't remember many high profile artists performing there.

I don't think its the artist themselves that decide which city they want to go to. Saying that, I still call Beyonce a bint for touring pretty much every city in England and not doing a single date in Scotland.

 

[ridesebastian!]

The poster is amazing!

 

[walter]

Her legs look abnormally skinny there. Apart from that, i love the poster. Love the black and gold colour scheme.

 

[jknza22]

She really likes things orbiting her.

And so do I.

 

[missmackenzie]

She looks hot! Not that she normally doesn't, but I've never got them impression she was trying to be sexy in a normal way before.

If you get me. Which you probably don't.
