Las Vegas, Nevada, welcomed pop icon Lady Gaga on Wednesday, July 16, as the first show of her Mayhem Ball tour kicked off at T-Mobile Arena.
Mother Monster’s “Little Monsters” were treated to a mix of both old and new favorite songs, along with a theatrical experience. Concertgoers were able to see Gaga, 39, perform hits such as “Bad Romance,” “Born This Way,” “Applause,” and “Just Dance.” She also brought forth songs from her new album, Mayhem, with “Zombieboy,” “Disease,” and “Garden of Eden” mixed into her setlist.
In a surprise that thrilled longtime fans, Gaga performed “Kill For Love,” the bonus track from Mayhem, in its entirety for the first time.
When the pop superstar first announced the Mayhem Ball tour earlier this year, she said, “This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it.”
So far, fans have been applauding the show, with content and praise flooding the Lady Gaga subreddit as those who attended the concert posted play-by-plays.
“OH MY GOD if she performs Applause in Seattle, I will for real die and be in heaven,” said one commenter.
“I crieddddd,” replied another, with a third fan adding, “I lost my S*** last nite when she played this. 💕💕”
The July 16 concert was the first of three shows planned for Las Vegas from the “Abracadabra” songstress, with 28 other dates in North America to follow. The Mayhem Ball will hit cities such as Toronto, New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Chicago until mid-September.
The tour will then travel overseas and hit locations in Europe and Australia for the rest of the year, finally concluding in Japan with 2 shows planned for Osaka and 4 shows in Tokyo during January 2026.
