Could Lady Gaga finally be going Down Under?
While promoting her upcoming album Mayhem on Australian radio show Fifi, Fev & Nick, the pop icon, 38, dropped a major hint about potential Australian tour dates — her first in the country since 2014.
“I can’t formally announce anything, but I can tell you that I’m going to be announcing… some things,” she teased with a laugh.
Reflecting on her past visits, G agaadded, “I miss my fans there so much, I really do. I have such fond memories of being in Australia, it’s a beautiful place and I really do want to come back soon.”
It’s been nearly 11 years since the Joker: Folie a Deux star last performed in Australia, with her artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball tour stopping there in August 2014.
She skipped the country while touring for Joanne (2016) and Chromatica (2020), despite having been a frequent visitor in the early years of her career. In fact, in 2011, Sydney’s Lord Mayor Clover Moore even named her an honourary citizen for her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community.
As for Mayhem, the album promises a chaotic mix of sounds.
“This album has so many different genres on it; from ‘90s grunge, industrial music, to funk music, ‘80s synth pop… it’s all my favorite things in a blender,” Gaga said. “It’s why I called it Mayhem – because it’s chaos.”
