As long as it doesn’t have too many LED screens I’m good :ohwell:

Why? Huge LED screens let you have backdrops that can fully change the stage's aesthetic. Look at the MDNA Tour.

Do you think they'll update the layout a few days before the sale goes live, simultaneously or afterwards? Currently the prices are up, but the map is generic.

Her team will update when the stage is close to being finished.

Perfect example, I bought JWT tickets when they went on sale in Feb. 2017 and the stage was this:

Then after Gaga did Coachella it changed to:

Then in the summer it leaked:

That's a tough one... Whatever company she ends up going for, I hope they come up with something truly unique and special.

Yeah really freaking tough, the BTWB is legendary, however the Joanna ball was so ****ing amazing to see live that stage and the lights jeeez... so you could really see her wherever u were etc. who did the art rave ?

At the rate she’s going this era I expect the stage to be a surprise and we’ll see pics at the first show. I can see her posting something cryptic in July saying welcome to Chromatica. 

The layout won’t be a huge surprise because she will update Ticketmaster and other sites to show fans where they’re buying tickets, but we will see what it actually looks like the first show.

But lol 😂 the last layout Ticketmaster did for Joanne didn’t capture it at all

Did she ever have problems with the castle on the BTW tour? I'm aware she did for the JWT a little by the end. 

More inclined to say TAIT as I didn't attend the BTW Ball and did the JWT.

I think Stufish would be the best for this tour, their designs are a lot more crazy and suit the idea of Chromatica better :) 

TAIT is a lot more “Professional” and “Video screen” heavy, Chromatica seems like it should have a stage that’s a lot more out there and be more creative, so I go with Stufish :firega:

I think it will be a rather simple stage relying heavily on screens and lights. Investment can’t be high for only 6 shows, and stadium shows mind you. Shifting a big production costs a lot of money and I’m not sure it’s worth it for just 6 dates.

Yes, there was a show (I believe in Russia) in which the castle walls did not open completely before Born This Way started. You can hear Gaga saying “OH MY GOD THE WALLS ARE NOT OPENING!!!” While she is inside the inflatable vagina. Mother GOAT‘s hologram malfunctioned several times as well.  

edit: heres the castle malfunction. She also blew the power after judas in Stockholm and had to wait 10-15 min for the electricians to fix it. 

 

All other malfunctions where prop malfunctions like the bike getting stuck on a ramp or the pedals used to move the dress used during Bloody Mary stopped working.

Oh right I remember a few of those now. Eh it's bound to happen

BTWB was actually a Stufish/TAIT collaboration (architect/fabricator).

TAIT has done every stage since Monster Ball and bc Gaga is very loyal, I bet it will be another TAIT build with Leroy Bennett direction.

Yeah, they made GREAT use of the background screen in Enigma...

but where's the theatre and craftsmanship in an all-screen design??

Gaga was quite proud, and intent on, BTWB having no screens on stage. She has always said she wants ppl to watch her shows and say "how the f*** did they do that?" Imagine if the BTW castle were all screens, how boring! Gimme puppets and neon NYC wonderland and hypodermic needle stairs and indoor tornados and clear catwalks and inflatable flora and wave lifts and lighting pods and descending bridges and fire shooting from the stage, the piano, her!😍

An all-screen dependent design seems kinda one-note compared to the surprise-filled spectacles Gaga likes to produce.

While this ⬇ is quite impressive, what else happens the rest of the show? All she did was walk out of and around the screens, no?
