Lady Gaga has chosen dive bars over arenas to promote new songs from her upcoming album, Joanne. The singer announced Sunday that she will play in a number of bars beginning this week to showcase the album's "raw Americana" sound and return to her roots.
The three-date mini-tour, sponsored by Bud Light, will open in an undisclosed location, with Gaga singing the lead single "Perfect Illusion" and a never-before-heard song "Million Reasons" from the album. Two more secret bar shows will be held on October 20th and 27th. All performances will be streamed live on Bud Light’s Facebook page at a time to be announced.

"Which is why I love this dive bar tour so much, because I get to go perform these songs and really look my fans in the eyes when I’m singing to them and really try to have a more natural human experience," Gaga said.
She continued: "This record was about me trying to understand my father, and his grief. It's also a record about me trying to understand myself and wondering where I'm going next in life. Because truly, the thing that I'm searching for the most is to feel connected to humanity, to feel connected as a person. So Joanne is like, you know, Lady Gaga if you erase all the fame."
Gaga's new album Joanne is scheduled for release on October 21st. The record, which Gaga said crosses over country, funk, pop and more, has its roots in her early days and "the music that lit up my heart when I first started writing."
