Gaga, Please Don’t Let Music Become Exclusive — We Need You Across Asia

[Chouchou 374]

“This is not aimed at Gaga. It’s about how Asia is becoming increasingly exclusive — and that’s the problem."

=========================================================

Dear Gaga, Haus of Gaga, and everyone who may read this,

We, fans from across Asia, write this with love, admiration, and deep respect for everything Gaga stands for — from musical brilliance to messages of kindness, equality, and courage. Many of us have followed her journey for years, finding strength and hope in her art.

That’s why this is difficult to say — not out of blame, but out of care.

In 2025, Singapore is promoted as the only stop in Asia for your live performances. And while we fully understand that artists may not personally oversee every tour decision, we want to express how this experience has made many of us feel: excluded, disappointed, and hurt.

Gaga, you've always said music is for everyone. You've always championed those who feel unseen, unheard, left out.

To be clear: we do not believe Gaga is responsible for this exclusivity. We know that decisions around concert locations, logistics, and promotions are largely handled by promoters like Live Nation and other stakeholders.

What pains us is how Live Nation Singapore framed this stop — presenting it as the sole opportunity for Asian fans in 2025 to see Gaga. This kind of promotion, even if not intentionally harmful, creates a sense of division and inequity — especially in a continent as large, diverse, and passionate as Asia.

When only one city receives a show — and it's broadcast as the only one — it forces all regional fans to funnel into a single location, regardless of distance, visa barriers, or financial ability. It turns a celebration into a struggle, and connection into competition.

We are concerned about a system of exclusivity that limits access and sends a message — however unintended — that some fans are more valued than others.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen it happen in Asia.
And that’s why we’re speaking up — not with anger, but with hope.
Hope that future tours, especially in 2026 and beyond, will consider a more inclusive and balanced approach. Hope that the industry, and those who shape these experiences, will listen to the voices of fans who simply want to belong.

Because Gaga taught us that music is for everyone.
And we still believe that.

We’re not asking for the world.
We’re just asking to be seen. To be considered. To be included.

Because we’re not just Asia.
We’re Monsters, too.

With love and kindness 

Fans across Asia 🖤

=========================================================

To some Lildos below:

It’s easy to dismiss this as a “non-issue” when you’re not an Asian fan.
But let me paint the reality: When there’s only one exclusive show in all of Asia, fans from countries like Japan, Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, and more…
– have to pay international flights
– cover hotel costs
– fight for limited tickets
– and spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars …just to attend the only show on their entire continent.

This isn’t entitlement. It’s exhaustion. So no, it’s not a non-issue. It’s a recurring burden that only Asian fans seem expected to accept without question. 

So before you make a joke about it, imagine if your continent got the same treatment.
Imagine if Europe got one show. Would you still call it a “non-issue”?

I’m pretty confident that she’ll be doing an Asian leg next year (I can’t see her skipping Japan, much less SK), but I’m interested…in what way did Asian countries allow for the exclusivity?

By having less money to throw at international acts than Singapore.

What do you mean? It’s not about money, honey.

Countries like Japan, South Korea, Thailand, or even China aren’t short on money — or infrastructure — to host concerts.
This isn’t about capability. It’s about a system that allows one country to buy regional exclusivity while shutting out others.
That’s not fair competition. That’s monopoly — and it goes against everything live music is supposed to represent: openness, connection, and inclusivity.

But it's entirely about money. 

Singapore is prepared to pay more than the other nations for the exclusivity, and pay to the extent it becomes a better option to touring companies than doing multiple Asian nations. 

You are right, it's not about capability. They all have the infrastructure. They just aren't prepared to pay the same as Signapore. 

Also. I was being sarcastic.

There will never be peace.

There's no exclusivity contract this time, the sg government didn't pay extra like they did for taylor

[zzbrandon 30]

you should make specific about where you are,cuz it's not like she can go tour where ever she want, most asia country are very conservative, and rumour said she still tour in 2026, so don't be so negative

Maybe the SG government didn’t pay this time — but a private company did.
That’s still exclusivity, just under a different name. One city getting the only Asia show still shuts out millions of fans. Call it what it is: a monopoly in disguise.

What would the people who lives in Antarctica would say? she never toured there either, but you don't see them complaining

Oh don’t worry — I’ll be at the Singapore show on the 24th. This isn’t negativity. It’s called critical thinking while holding a ticket. And yes, some countries are conservative — but we’re not asking her to perform in North Korea. There are plenty of Asian countries with the venues, the fans, and the freedom to host her.

So no, this isn’t about 2026 rumors or wishful thinking.
It’s about 2025 being turned into a one-city monopoly — again.

As if Indonesians actually wants her to be there 

Let me tell you they are calling her a Zionist there now, after calling her a Satanist in 2012, and that's a huge thing cos that country is the largest Muslim country in the world. I don't think she will ever able to visit that place, even if she wanted to. It will be safer for Indonesian monsters to visit neighboring country for her. And most of them agreed. 
 

But anyway, streaming numbers for western artists in SEA always subpar though, no concerts will help the numbers, cos the ones that go to Western pop artists concerts there are fans and already streaming, unlike in Western countries, where FOMo happens. That stuffs only happened to K-Pop artists there. So why is this news?!
