Pop icon Lady Gaga is coming to Aussie shores for a slew of shows across the country.
The Poker Face hitmaker, 39, is bringing her Mayhem Ball Tour to Australia at the end of the year to support her latest album, Mayhem.
Gaga will play Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on December 5, Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on December and Sydney’s Accor Stadium on December 12.
The tour marks eleven years since she performed in Australia on her ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour in 2014.
It will also be Lady Gaga’s first-ever leg of stadium shows Down Under.
In March, the Bad Romance songstress announced 2025 tour dates across the UK, North America and Europe, playing on iconic stages such as London’s O2 Arena and Madison Square Garden in New York.

Tickets for the long-awaited tour go on sale Thursday, April 17.
Speaking of the tour on Instagram, Lady Gaga revealed that she ‘wasn’t planning’ on doing a world tour in 2025, however the ‘incredible response’ to her latest album Mayhem inspired her to take it to the international stage.
‘It came together super quickly thanks to Arthur Fogel and the amazing team at Live Nation, who planned a global tour in just a few weeks.
She went on to say that her team ‘chose arenas’ for the tour in order to ‘control the details of the show’ as opposed to stadiums where it’s just not possible.
‘This show is designed to be the kind of theatrical and electrifying experience that brings MAYHEM to life exactly how I envision it,’ she signed off the post, adding: ‘See you soon, monsters.’
Lady Gaga made headlines a few weeks ago after it was revealed she was being sued by the surfboard company Lost International.
The brand has accused her of misappropriating its logo for her new album.
Lost International sells various forms of merchandise emblazoned with the word Mayhem, the same title as Gaga’s newly released project.
In its lawsuit, the surfboard company claims the way it stylized the word for its logo (left) was virtually identical to the way Gaga did so for her album (right)
In its lawsuit, the surfboard company claims the way it stylised the word for its logo was virtually identical to the way Gaga did so for her album.
The firm alleges that it contacted Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, to express concerns about the purported similarity.
However, Lost International maintains that she proceeded with using her logo, prompting the company to sue for trademark infringement, according to TMZ.
Gaga’s attorney Orin Snyder issued a statement to DailyMail.com, dismissing the lawsuit as ‘an opportunistic and meritless abuse of the legal system.’
‘Lady Gaga’s Mayhem soared to No. 1 and shattered records, a testament to her unmatched talent and global impact,’ said the statement.
‘It’s disappointing – but hardly surprising – that someone is now attempting to capitalize on her success with a baseless lawsuit over the name Mayhem. This is nothing more than an opportunistic and meritless abuse of the legal system
According to its legal documents, Lost International has allegedly held the copyright to its version of the Mayhem logo since 2015.
The plaintiffs have provided side-by-side pictures of their merchandise and Gaga’s, showing what they regard as the unacceptably similar text.
Lost International maintained in its lawsuit that it has been using its version of the Mayhem logo for more than a decade now.
The company is demanding damages including any profits Gaga has made from the logo, which it also wants her to be barred from continuing to use.
