Ladle Ghoulash 21,165 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) Again, I feel like y’all are overcomplicating this: she saw there was demand, decided to book some venues for this year to capitalize on it, and I think it’s fair to say that the implication is that this is only the beginning of the tour. Once the show is on it’s feet (staged, rehearsed), adding more dates isn’t particularly complicated, so the idea that the tour might have multiple legs that span out over the next year or two feels the most likely. I feel like she’ll probably do what St. Vincent did: she booked a multi-continent tour in 2024 for her new album, then went back and is hitting different cities/venues/countries on each continent this year. I know it’s frustrating and a bit confusing that she hasn’t confirmed it, but I think it’s very very likely that there will be more (potentially many more) dates added for next year.

I know but why is it an implication? Why it is 'likely'? Why can't they just TELL us straight up 'due to factors XYZ we've decided to bring the tour ahead of schedule! First confirmed dates on the list are... with more to come soon' It's still a guessing game. And I've played with gamble with other artists too where everyone has gone 'it's OBVIOUSLY this' and then we're left high and dry At this point I'm just trying to come to terms with the fact I'm not going and be sad and mourn about it. If I'm LUCKY maybe something else will pop up but I'm not even going to entertain that idea. It's sad time right now I'm not gonna keep 'holding out hope' for 6 months I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

faysalaaa 4,116 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I agree this is so bad, people are now planning to travel across the world, while she might announce soon that shes coming to their city, and now they wasted all their money for nothing. I only see small new artists doing this because they dont know if their tour will sell, but I dont understand why Gaga is doing this? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMonster 385 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I suspect it’s because these are cities that either: 1. Don’t have a stadium (or one that won’t be available when she plans on touring next, like Seattle) 2. Their stadium is maybe not as accessible as their arenas (i.e. NYC, Chicago) - for mainly pedestrian cities, these arenas are much easier to get to than their stadiums often are. 3. She maybe hadn’t planned on going to them at all, but saw there was enough demand to support having shows there (again, like Seattle, perhaps) I suspect a stadium tour is coming next year… after the Deluxe version of Mayhem, the Mayhem Monster. Also, she’s not going to have a conference call and explain the entire game plan. No business does that, no artists do that, no marketing team would advise that. Either buy tickets, or wait and hope she’ll be closer next leg. Edited March 28 by MountainMonster Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars 2,270 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Hmm my take is that there will be a 2nd leg next Summer probably more NA dates, Aus and Japan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco 9,597 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 She's said she wasn't planning to tour beyond Singapore this year. So at this point its clear that the Gagacabana/Singapore/Mexico staging and show is whats been exported to this last minute planned arena tour of the US & Europe. We all knew she wasn't planning a major stadium tour this year in the EU at the very least because reliable sources had been stating that Gaga wasn't booked at major stadiums this year in the market. This is now clearly also true of the US. So at that point either *no* tour was planned, which is crazy. Or the plans were for a stadium production in 2026 that was unique from the Coachella/Gagacabana/Mexico/Singapore shows. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilyLark 10,074 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 She never promised tons of big shows. People are confusing fan rumors and fake photoshop with what she actually said. The only thing she did is kind of playfully imply she might perform in Poland when giving one interview. Most artists barely tour Lt Am, and if they do they generally tend to do Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina (maybe Chile). So I'm not sure people should expect anything more than what's already planned in Lt Am: shows in Mexico City and Brazil. I am surprised she's skipping AUS/NZ, as she's visited Asia multiple times (and will do the Singapore shows) and is now doing Lt Am. I do think fans have the right to complain a bit about that, as she's avoided Australia for forever.....most pop stars do Europe and limited dates in Lt Am/Asia and AUS/NZ, and she's leaving the last part out. Fans mad about her not doing more in Lt Am though kind of need to chill. It sucks, but Gaga doing a couple of shows is more than most. Sabrina's tour isn't even touching Lt Am, Olivia is doing very limited festival appearances a la Gaga, and neither the Formation tour or the Renaissance tour did a single date in Lt Am. I agree musicians should tour in Lt Am more, but a lot of fans are acting like Gaga is the "only" one to barely visit Lt Am, which is simply not true.

Melbourne Monster 4 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I just can’t believe there was no tour planned prior to a few weeks ago. I also can’t believe that she wouldn’t want to tour the album. I’m Australian and the way Gaga spoke in our radio interviews seemed to suggest we’d get a tour stop, it was more than the usual “I’d love to come” type of response. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuraudo 88 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I think if you're really that anxious about it, best bet is to book non-personalized tickets which you can sell if/when new dates get announced. You might even get to profit a little since all of these are gonna sell out in the blink of an eye Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awakened M 3,041 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) I truly think she has a more prepared a bigger set of tour dates for 2026 ready. She simply added a 2025 limited tour because it was done last minute as a response to the positive reception of Mayhem.

Andrea B 16,733 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I hate how they're selling this tour; it's so confusing. I'm glad I'll see her in CDMX and not the US lol, I'm not excited at all about the tour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathair96 33 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 "I wasn’t planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore but the incredible response to the new album inspired me to keep things going. It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks. " I wasn't going to tour this year after Singapore The response has made me want to keep momentum We put this tour together in a few weeks ^ This confirms that these 2025 dates were literally booked within a few weeks and are NOT 2026 brought forward. It's very difficult to put together a tour, you have to factor in arena availability, arena capacity, booking fees, etc. I'm not saying a 2026 tour is guaranteed, I'm only telling you that these concerts are not 2026 pulled forward. If anything extended is announced for 2026, it will be undergoing planning right now and announced in a few months. You just have to decide for yourself whether or not 2026 is happening or not, that much no one but Gaga and her team can confirm. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
