She brought us The Fame, she brought us The Monster Ball, and now ladies and gentlemen, Lady Gaga is coming back to Auckland for one stellar show this June.
This time Gaga is bringing her Born This Way Ball to Vector Arena, which showcases her album by the same name and her previous releases.
Gaga has described the tour as “an electro-metal pop-opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating”.
The Born This Way Ball will be Lady Gaga’s first tour since the release of her album Born This Way, which has sold nearly six million copies worldwide since its release in May 2011. The album is the follow-up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums 2009’s The Fame Monster, and 2008’s The Fame. Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 15 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga’s hit singles have combined sales of over 65 million worldwide.
With over 2.2 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living people on Facebook with over 47 million ‘likes’ and is #1 on Twitter with nearly 19 million followers. Lady Gaga is the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits.
The e-Queen took to her Twitter earlier this week and released this photo of what the ball will look like:
If the ornate Monster Ball show is anything to go off, this is a show not to be missed.
