“LET THE MAYHEM BEGIN” The wait is finally over, Little Monsters. We’re just hours day away from the launch of Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated Mayhem Ball Tour — her first full headlining tour since 2022’s Chromatica Ball and in support of her seventh studio album, Mayhem. The opening night is to takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, kicking off what’s expected to be one of the most explosive tours of her career. This marks Gaga’s second major tour of the decade. Her last outing, The Chromatica Ball, spanned 20 stadiums, sold over 834,000 tickets, and grossed approximately $112.4 million, making it one of the highest-grossing tours of 2022. In the months leading up to Mayhem Ball, Gaga embarked on “The Art of Personal Chaos” promotional run, a series of concerts supporting her new album. This included notable stops such as Coachella and a record-breaking performance at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, where over 2.5 million people attended — officially earning her the Guinness World Record for the largest concert by a female artist in history. Now, with all that momentum behind her, Gaga is ready to take Mayhem global. The tour will span 63 shows across four continents, and was recently expanded from its original 32-date run due to overwhelming demand. If early projections are any indicator, Gaga could once again pull in over $100 million from this tour alone. As for the setlist, signs point to a mix of new hits and old. Based on her Coachella performance, tracks like “Abracadabra,” “Bad Romance,” “Shallow,” and “Die With a Smile” are expected to make the cut, Some fans however are also hoping for deep cuts and surprises, with monsters speculating the potential appearances by “Heavy Metal Lover,” “Dance in the Dark,” “Marry The Night”, or “So Happy I Could Die.” As anticipation builds and the world prepares for the first notes to drop, one thing is clear: the Mayhem Ball Tour promises to be a thrilling blend of new artistry and timeless anthems. Whether you’re attending in person or following along from low-quality Instagram and TikTok live streams, this is a moment to celebrate Gaga’s unmatched creativity and connection with her fans. The stage is set, the lights are ready— in just a few hours, the chaos truly begins.

Yes, I am a week or so early, but real soon this forum will be flooded with twisted MAYHEM, tour posts, Dead Dancing, Wednesday, Aura etc etc. So, Gaga wrapped up her Olympics performance and then decided to thank her adoring French fandom by sharing 2 official snippets from her seventh studio album aka LG7. Nothing was the same after that glorious night. We could hear she was in her zone again with these 2 snippets. The way all the comments on the original thread were so damn positive! Agh she knew. fun fact: you can hear the very faint "pay the toll" lyric in another hotel recording too. What a moment.

What's the issue if it is the same show anyway? Didn't most of you here wasn't at Coachella or Rio physically anyway? Wouldn't it actually great for you to witness it live finally? IDK, it's just the matter of perspective imho. What you saw on live stream will feel different when you witness it in person. The energy is different.

overall radio 2= luther 57.13(-0.96) 3= dwas 56.80(+0.04) so, the checks didn't clear after all

well, radio has been carrying DWAS and helping it stay inside top 10, so let's ignore this FOR NOW.

Realistically I think she won’t, but she should. Also 911 would fit into Mayhem Ball in my opinion.

It's unfortunate but i mean, who the hell leaves highly sensitive stuff like unreleased songs and footage on a SUV? That's asking for problems. That's why you always see gaga carrying that ipad everywhere

Another mediocre body of work incoming

Screw everyone involved in this show and anyone else who wilfully gives that transphobic demon any money.

I wonder if they're all going to feel like people in costumes

Flopboard hot flophundred should have stopped radio counting for charts like 10 years ago. I swear it's one of the only charts that includes it alongside sales and streams. Other countries may count radio, but that's because they're RADIO charts, and then they have their single/streaming/digital charts Actually makes me laugh to see a song that for instance, has sold 250k units in a given week, not be above a song that has sold 150k but has higher radio. More people are voluntarily choosing to listen to the HIGHER SELLING song, so it should be above

Those are good numbers! Props to her for doing good on her own

With Dead Dance debuting tmrw & releasing this Friday??

Disgusting comments. He's a rapist and none of you care. All you care about is getting turned on. Shame on you.

radio mattering at all is insane in 2025, it only gets worse the longer they keep the formula like this.

you are joking..ONE YEAR?! **** we really waited aaaages for this album to pop out

It was also her first stadium tour, first full pop album since artrop too. SL and ROM also did well, cept the USA. and that album gave us 911 movie.

LoveDrug? 🥲 LG:

So excited Can't wait to hear blade of grass live either Lovers pìss in a garden made of thorns Traces of lonely words... showers gold

MR was a major aspect of reparing Gagas image though. Something that started with C2C and Oscars Sound of Music but MR was the more mainstream hit part of it It may not have been a super smash but id say it was major in giving Gaga another chance at career resurgence. One thing that crosses my mind is would she even have gotten a shot at ASIB (and in turn shallow by default) without career repair? Maybe not

These gays will hate on a pop star for being “mean” but drool over literal rap*sts.

Nicki is married to a convicted rapist and sex offender but she thinks SZA's freckles are the biggest problem she is facing right now?

BBC getting dragged, Hot 100 under fire for radio payola. Anything messy happening to Katy Perry this morning? It’s a good day.

Beyoncé’s choreographer and one of her dancers said thieves broke into their SUV and stole numerous items, including jump drives containing unreleased music, footage plans for her show and past and future set lists. It happened less than 48 hours before the Grammy-winning artist kicked off her Cowboy Carter tour performances in Atlanta. An arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect. A spokesperson for Atlanta police said the break-in happened just after 8 p.m. July 8 inside a parking deck at Krog Street Market. Christopher Grant and Diandre Blue told police that they parked their rental black Jeep Wagoneer in the parking deck around 8:09 p.m. They discovered the trunk window had been damaged, and their two suitcases had been stolen when they returned to their SUV, according to an incident report obtained by Seiden. “Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,” an officer wrote in the incident report. “He advised he was her choreographer and Mr. Diandre Blue was a dancer for her and that her hard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta were stolen also. The hard drives contained water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists,” the officer added in the police report. The two members of Beyoncé’s team also reported clothes, designer sunglasses, laptops and a pair of AirPods Max headphones were stolen from the vehicle, police confirmed. source

Not without Rita Ora I fear 😕

Idc what she plays as long as she adds one Chromatica song and Love Drug, see yall 8/27 💕

The little single that could! She was everywhere promoting it and I remember being SO proud after the superbowl when it got a substantial radio push!

woah DWAS at #10 is DWAS the only song to have ever place every numbers in the top 10? #1 - for 5 weeks #2 - a couple of weeks .... #10 - this week Ill get the dates later

Me, holding back from saying what I really feel when I see that photo, because I don't know what this guy has done but it seems that everyone in this thread hate him and it would be morally wrong to say what that photo has made me feel.

Well she’s being asked these questions…. The only thing she can do is respond no? If anything it’s the media who keeps focusing on these details of her interviews

I really don't wanna see any footage on TikTok of the show because I want it to be a surprise when I attend 😭 but I'm chronically online 😭😭 I'mma have to block Gaga and every bitch with an iPhone. 💀

Wow, that is honestly so shocking and upsetting to hear. I can only imagine the sheer level of panic, frustration, and disbelief that must have hit Beyoncé’s team when they discovered what was missing. These tours aren’t just big shows they’re the product of months (and often years) of incredibly detailed planning, rehearsals, design work, and creative brainstorming. Losing hard drives and jump drives right before opening night is, in a way, like losing the heart of the show. It’s especially heartbreaking because those stolen drives likely hold far more than just technical files they probably include unreleased music, special edits or remixes crafted just for this tour, set lists carefully designed to create an emotional arc during the show, and raw behind-the-scenes footage that was never meant to see the public eye. Some of it might even contain new experimental material or personal recordings that Beyoncé and her team hadn’t decided whether to release. The creative process often involves rough drafts, ideas that get changed later, and deeply personal notes. Having that stolen and potentially exposed must feel deeply violating. And beyond Beyoncé herself, think of everyone who contributed to that content: producers, sound engineers, choreographers, dancers, lighting and stage designers, visual artists, and countless others whose work might never be credited publicly but is essential to what fans see on stage. Their ideas and months of effort are now at risk of being leaked, misinterpreted, or simply lost forever if those drives aren’t recovered. That must weigh heavily on everyone involved, both creatively and professionally. It also shows how even in huge productions backed by sophisticated teams and big budgets, there’s still a vulnerability to something as mundane as a break-in. Touring involves constant movement, new cities, and reliance on local logistics. You might have world-class security backstage, but when you’re rushing between rehearsals and hotels, something as simple as a rental car in a parking deck can become a weak link. It’s a powerful reminder of how fragile even the most meticulously planned projects can be when real life intervenes. From a purely logistical perspective, the days and nights leading up to opening night are already packed with final rehearsals, sound checks, lighting cues, last-minute costume adjustments, and media obligations. Adding the chaos of a police report, insurance claims, and the emotional weight of what was lost must have been incredibly overwhelming. Yet somehow, artists and crews often find a way to regroup and carry on which is something that rarely gets acknowledged when we watch the final performance. The personal side is just as sad. Christopher Grant and Diandre Blue not only lost work items but also personal things like designer sunglasses, laptops, clothes, and headphones. Beyond the cost, those are things people rely on daily when traveling, and losing them the night before a major event is disruptive and unsettling. Plus, there’s probably a feeling of guilt or responsibility even if it wasn’t their fault simply because those drives were in their possession when the theft happened. That pressure must be enormous. I also keep thinking about the possibility of the unreleased material leaking. Beyoncé is known for her incredibly controlled and carefully timed releases, which is part of why her albums and tours have such cultural impact. If raw footage, half-finished mixes, or private set lists appeared online, it could spoil surprises planned for fans and undercut months of creative strategy. It’s more than just an artistic issue there are financial and legal implications, too, including contracts, licensing, and branding deals built around the planned rollout. And then there’s the question of motive. Was this a crime of opportunity someone just smashing a window for valuables, not realizing whose car it was? Or did someone know exactly what they were after? The fact that it happened at a well-known spot like Krog Street Market could go either way: it might simply be an area where thieves look for quick scores, or it could have been scouted because the tour was in town. Either way, it shows how even the best-prepared teams can’t fully prevent unpredictable risks, especially in public spaces. It’s a relief to hear that police moved quickly and issued a warrant for a suspect hopefully that means they have solid leads and might recover at least some of what was taken. But I imagine that the fear doesn’t go away immediately, even if the drives are found. The team would still have to wonder: were copies made? Could someone still leak something later? It must be incredibly hard to feel secure again after something like this. On a bigger level, it highlights just how deeply touring productions rely on digital media these days. Decades ago, a tour’s set list might have been written in a binder, and choreography might have been sketched out on paper. Today, so much is digital: video projections, lighting cues, sound effects, remixes, rehearsal footage, and of course, the music itself. That makes things far more powerful creatively but also introduces a new level of risk if those files aren’t encrypted, backed up, and guarded at all times. It also makes me appreciate how much we, as audiences, don’t see. When we watch a show, it looks seamless, magical, larger than life but behind that is a team that works through late nights, travel exhaustion, unexpected setbacks, and, in rare cases like this, real emergencies. The show must go on, even when everything is far from perfect. And often, the audience never knows the difference, because the team has worked so hard to keep the vision intact. Ultimately, I really hope this gets resolved quickly and with as little damage as possible. It must have been a terrifying and heartbreaking moment for everyone involved, especially given the scale of the tour and the love and effort that went into building it. And hopefully it sparks an even stronger commitment to protecting creative work in the future not because anyone was careless, but because it’s a reminder that even the biggest stars and the most professional teams still have to contend with the unpredictability of the real world. Fingers crossed that the suspect is caught soon, the drives are recovered, and the team can refocus on what they set out to do: bring something extraordinary to the stage for the fans who’ve been waiting. It must be incredibly hard to keep spirits high after something like this, but I have no doubt that Beyoncé’s team will find a way to keep pushing forward. It really shows how much heart, resilience, and unseen struggle lies behind every live show we see.
