Lady Gaga expands Mayhem Ball into 2026 with massive new US and Canada shows

Lady Gaga is showing no signs of slowing down. After sweeping four wins at the MTV VMAs earlier this month, she has announced an extended North American leg of her Mayhem Ball tour for 2026, adding fresh dates across the United States and Canada. The new shows will launch on Valentine’s Day in Glendale, Arizona, before hitting major cities including New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Washington, Boston, Montreal, Toronto and Chicago.

The Mayhem Ball has been one of the most ambitious pop tours of recent years, running for nearly four years and travelling through Europe, Asia and Australia. The new 2026 extension signals Gaga’s determination to keep the spectacle alive and deliver more to her devoted fanbase. The scale has led many to compare it to the global dominance of Beyoncé’s touring empire, cementing Gaga’s status as one of the most influential live performers of her generation.

Produced by Gaga alongside Michael Polansky and directed by Ben Dalgleish, the show brings together a powerhouse creative team. Choreography is handled by Parris Goebel, while costumes are designed by stylist Hunter Clem, Hardstyle and Gaga’s sister Natali Germanotta. The result has been a tour that fuses music, theatre, fashion and performance art into a full-scale experience.

Tickets for the newly announced dates opened on September 10, with presales for Citi cardholders, Verizon customers and VIP packages, sparking high demand from fans eager to secure their spot.

The announcement also comes shortly after Gaga released the music video for The Dead Dance, her new track featured in Netflix’s Wednesday series. Directed by Tim Burton, the eerie visual fuelled even more buzz for the star ahead of her tour’s next chapter.

As anticipation builds, the Mayhem Ball’s return to North America shows Gaga’s ability to reinvent her live shows and keep audiences captivated year after year. Fans are already calling it one of the most unmissable tours of 2026.
