Mayhem promotional concerts
Updated: 12/11/2025, 6:16:40 PM Wikipedia source
American singer Lady Gaga performed a series of promotional concerts in 2025, in support of her eighth studio album, Mayhem (2025). The concerts preceded her headlining concert tour, the Mayhem Ball, also scheduled for 2025. She debuted the show as a headliner for the Coachella music festival on April 11 and 18. This was followed by performances in Mexico, Brazil and Singapore later in April and in May – her first shows in these countries since the Born This Way Ball tour in 2012. The Brazilian concert in Copacabana, Rio, which was free to attend, attracted an estimated 2.5 million people, making it the largest performance of Gaga's career and the most-attended concert by a female artist in history. Titled The Art of Personal Chaos, the show consisted of five acts built around themes of duality and inner chaos and was directed by Gaga alongside choreographer Parris Goebel, with whom she developed each act from concept to staging. Critics praised its theatrical ambition, visual impact and Gaga's vocal delivery, positioning it as one of her most acclaimed live spectacles. The six ticketed dates in Mexico City and Singapore collectively grossed $56.6 million and sold more than 300,000 tickets.
