Born This Way Ball: The Final Chapter - 2013 NA Leg discussion thread

[Pure Adrenaline 1,518]

Ok, knowing BTWB is coming closer to it's end I decided to make thread (similar to the one in the start of it back in April) where we can discuss the last leg of the tour. We know that Gaga will be "revamping" the tour for America and here we can post thought of the new tour whether is better or not than before. When it start I'll be updating it daily with what has changed and what not. Hope you enjoy it and share all your thought here:

The Born This Way Ball NA Leg:

The Born This Way Ball is the third concert tour by Lady Gaga,

in support of her third album Born This Way (2011).

The tour visits in 115 concerts the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania.

This marks the Gaga's first tour in all the inhabited continents.

The tour was officially announced on February 8 of 2012 with the first set of dates in Asia and Oceania. The tour began in Seoul on April 27, 2012 and is scheduled to end in March 16, 2013. The tour narrate " the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame." Gaga plays the role of a alien fugitive from G.O.A.T., a Government Owned Alien Territory in space, which was introduced for the first time in the music video for "Born This Way" in 2011. The show is set in and around a large medieval style castle, which rotates and manoeuvres throughout the show. A classical score accompanies the show's interludes, tying in with the show's dark, operatic theme.

THE LAST OFFICIAL DATE - FEBRUARY 11 - MONTREAL:

Live Nation Global Touring has confirmed that the remainder of the Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball performances have been cancelled. After additional tests this morning to review the severity of the issue, it has been determined that Lady Gaga has a labral tear of the right hip. She will need surgery to repair the problem, followed by strict down time to recover. This unfortunately, will force her to cancel the tour, so she can heal. Refunds for the cancelled performances will be available at point of purchase starting Feb 14, 2013.

I'm really sad that it's coming to an end but I need ATPOP so HURRY UP BTWB! :ohwell:

[Highway Capricorn 24]

Can't wait for the new Versace costumes :nacho:

[Pure Adrenaline 1,518]

Can't wait for the new Versace costumes :nacho:

Well if it's similar to the hideous BTW one...no. I will like more costume like BR and GH one

[Star 4,409]

I thought we have thread for that...

Oh, well....

[JPM 781]

Once the tour starts I'm sure all the tickets are going to be sold-out. BTWB, hurry up! ARTPOP is coming. After more than 2 years, we'll be finally saying 'good-bye' to the BTW era. It's kind of nostalgic, though, you know. I hope Gaga films the DVD in Toronto this time since she didn't film it in a stadium.

[Italian 568]

Why The Queen and Monster are included on the setlist on Wikipedia :eek:

I hope more songs from BTW to be sung in full and a remix outro for Bad Romance

[Tyguy 2]

its kind of sad to see only 2 of the NA tour dates are sold out :/

[Bambino 24,108]

I love the cover.

[Aries 2]

hearing it as the Last Chapter makes me sad . :(

[MelbHawker 6,583]

Can't wait for the new Versace costumes :nacho:

This is all I care about tbh. Theyre going to slay my life.

[Mister G 10,162]

Are all of those dates even on sale yet?

[J e s s e 454]

I thought we have thread for that...

Oh, well....

this.

[bumblebee 2,528]

I'm really excited to see the face-lift for the tour she's been talking about.

And I can't express the way I'm happy for everybody who's about to see the show - you are awaited by such a crazy experience!

Although I'm starting to have a feeling of a little bit sad farewell we all will have to say to this tour once it's over. :shy:

[Sudarshana 581]

Why The Queen and Monster are included on the setlist on Wikipedia :eek:
