Is Coachella the Mayhem Ball?

Exactly, the catwalk layout is different

Yup, it surprises me that so many people are overlooking it. There's literally nothing that would stop her from keeping it the same, yet she's still changing it.

I think it's unrealistic to expect a brand new show complete with new sets, costumes, and setlist. If that's what people are thinking, prepare to be disappointed, I guess. Y'all have to think about the logistics of all this. She and her team put a lot of work and effort into the Coachella performances. Compared to every other set during Coachella, it stood on its own as its own show, and she's treating it as such. It deserves to be used more, and I'm more than happy with it being used for the Mexico, Rio, and Singapore shows—and most likely for the MAYHEM Ball too.

That doesn't mean that she won't change things up every now and then. Last night she did Blade of Grass, so clearly they're open to changing stuff around, but I 100% expect Coachella to be what the MAYHEM Ball is, more or less.

This 100%. Also, she won’t be taking as many dancers with her on the actual tour July-Dec. so Poker Face and other numbers will be slightly reworked. Which may have her changing up some of the setlist. But this show is 80% what she will be performing for the remainder of the scheduled dates.

Can't believe the tickets for Los Angeles are hundreds more than the same tickets for Miami. Like wtf.

I was hoping for different shows, with other aesthetics, but no, she basically did the same one. At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole tour ends up being exactly what we’ve already seen. I didn’t enjoy it, and I have to mention the terrible new versions of the choreographies (especially Judas) which honestly reminded me of the musical we did in high school when I was 14 years old. I don’t know, is this really what Gaga envisioned for Mayhem?

Also: I loved Zombieboy’s performance she literally did what I wanted to do for my music video but nailed it.

Sure, I'm not used to being "spoiled" like this, seeing a show in full HD before the tour even starts, but a tour is a tour, it's always the same? 

Some of you act like watching a livestream on your phone is the same as being in the presence of Gaga belting her heart out. Come on now!

I'm sure the Ball will have (slight) adaptations and if not, why is a show you loved at first sight now stale and done with? 

The MB ran for almost 3 years but it was still epic when after 11 months I saw it again.

Just stop watching Coachella and all the future shows, by the time the Ball rolls around you will be eager to see it live.

I'm 10000000000% sure that the Coachella setlist is only being used for Coachella, Viva La Mayhem (México) and Singapore. As they are just promotional shows. Río will be it's own seperate setlist and The Mayhem Ball Tour setlist is one we won't know until Las Vegas

I think so and I'm disappointed. I watched the Coachella performance multiple times through and now I know the Mayhem Ball inside and out. That's like watching the Monster Ball dvd 3x and then going to the show knowing everything

I love that your opinion is basically the exact opposite of how everyone else feels.

Honestly, people expecting or wanting something different for the MAYHEM Ball are just acting like spoiled brats (and not in the good way).

Have you seen the show? I was there for Coachella Weekend 1, and it was absolutely incredible — by far the best performance she’s ever delivered. They put a ridiculous amount of work into it, and it shows (seriously, just look at how disastrous Katy Perry’s new tour was by comparison…).

It’s completely unrealistic to think they could put together something just as good again in such a short amount of time. I don’t get what people are expecting, honestly.

 

I’m not hoping for anything different when it comes to the MAYHEM Ball — I’m just excited to see it again. I would (and already have) paid a lot of money to experience this show one more time. It’s truly the best thing she’s ever done.

Spoiled brats, really?! "by far the best performance she’s ever delivered. They put a ridiculous amount of work into it". Yes, all true. But the fact is that most people are paying 200+ dollars to see this show and some even have to travel a long way and pay for accommodation. Most have to save up for that big time, may you then expect to see a show like you're experiencing it for the first time, a full on surprise performance? I believe so!

It may be unrealistic to expect a different production for the Mayhem Ball. But it would've been fair to get a heads up if the Coachella performance more or less turns out to be the same show as the Mayhem Ball, so that fans have a choice whether or not to watch the Coachella livestream to avoid ruining the surprise. I personally would have appreciated to get the heads up. Apparently I'm one of those "spoiled brats" that is a bit disappointed to be honest since if I've seen the show 5+ times now (even though I'm aware that this doesn't compare to the live experience).

Can people just vent their disappointment without judgement please

I love that your comment reminds me of a cult. Does that mean I should be like everyone else and love what doesn't connect with me?

I think it will share elements of the Coachella show, but largely be a different show including more setlist songs (there’s no way not a single ARTPOP, Joanne or Chromatica song will be on the setlist), maybe different outfits and probably more interludes like in previous tours.
