List of concert tours, with the duration, number of shows, and descriptions
Year Title Duration Shows
2009 The Fame Ball Tour March 12, 2009 – September 29, 2009 (Worldwide) 83
The Fame Ball Tour, Gaga's debut concert tour, promoted her first album The Fame (2008).[1] Gaga described the tour as a traveling museum show incorporating artist Andy Warhol's pop-performance art concept.[2] Gaga planned the tour while serving as opening act for The Pussycat Dolls.[3] The tour was well received by critics who praised her vocal clarity, fashion sense and ability to pull off theatrics like a professional artist.[4][5]
2009–2011 The Monster Ball Tour November 27, 2009 – May 6, 2011 (Worldwide) 203
The Monster Ball Tour, the second worldwide concert tour by Gaga, was staged in support of her extended play The Fame Monster (2009).[6] The stage of the original show looked like a frame, comparable to that of a hollowed-out television set.[7] From 2010 onwards, the revamped shows had a New York theme and portrayed a story set in the city, where Gaga and her friends got lost and had to find their way to "the Monster Ball".[8] The tour was well received by critics who praised Gaga's vocal abilities, the theatricality of the show, and her sense of style and fashion.[9][10] With an audience of 2.5 million, it earned over $227.4 million, making it one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time.[11] Gaga received the 2010 Billboard Touring Award for Breakthrough Performer and the Concert Marketing & Promotion Award.[12]
2012–2013 The Born This Way Ball April 27, 2012 – February 11, 2013 (Worldwide) 98
The Born This Way Ball promoted her second studio album Born This Way (2011), and it visited all continents, except Antarctica.[13] The tour was divided into five acts and was imbued with political and social themes such as discrimination, self-love and government control.[14] Critics praised the stage design, Gaga's vocal abilities, different expressive messages and the production team.[15] The tour was also the subject of some controversy by conservatives due to Gaga's support for LGBT rights.[16] With more than twenty dates left, she was forced to cancel the remaining tour dates due to a labral tear of her right hip, which resulted in refunds of over $25 million and 200,000 tickets.[17] It earned a total of $183.9 million.[18][19] Gaga won the 2012 Billboard Touring Awards Eventful Fan's Choice Award for Best Tour Of The Year.[20]
2014 ArtRave: The Artpop Ball May 4, 2014  – November 24, 2014 (Worldwide) 79
ArtRave: The Artpop Ball supported Gaga's third studio album Artpop (2013).[21] Inspired from the similarly named party for Artpop, the stage resembled a cave and consisted of two sections connected by catwalks made of translucent lucite, allowing the audience to move underneath the catwalks while still being able to watch the show.[22] Commentators complimented the show's concept, costumes and the choreography but criticized it for being disjointed and hollow.[23][24] In November 2014, the concert was streamed live from Bercy Arena in France.[25] It grossed a total of $83 million from 920,088 sold tickets.[26][27]
2014–2015 Cheek to Cheek Tour December 30, 2014 – August 1, 2015 (North America, Europe) 36
Gaga's collaboration with Tony Bennett on the album Cheek to Cheek (2014) resulted in their Cheek to Cheek Tour.[28] Many of the tour's shows were part of music festivals.[29] For the show, the stage was decorated in a simple manner with just a crystal curtain.[30] The tour comprised a set list of songs from their album and other covers of the Great American Songbook.[31] The tour was critically acclaimed for the duo's vocals and the development of the show, as well as their on-stage chemistry.[32] It topped VultureTemplate:'s list of the 10 best concerts of 2015[33] and grossed $15.3 million.[34]
2017–2018 Joanne World Tour August 1, 2017 – February 1, 2018 (North America, Europe) 49
Gaga's fifth concert tour in support of her fifth studio album Joanne (2016).[35] The concert series was deemed "more minimalist" in comparison to the singer's previous tours, but received praise for the visuals, Gaga's singing abilities and her connection with the audience.[36] It began on August 1, 2017, in Vancouver, Canada and concluded with postponed European shows in 2018.[37] It grossed a total of $95 million from 841,935 sold tickets.[38]
2022 The Chromatica Ball July 17, 2022 – September 17, 2022 (Europe, North America, Asia) 20
The all-stadium concert series took place during the summer of 2022, debuting in Düsseldorf, Germany and concluding in Miami, FL. The tour was postponed twice from its original 2020 summer date due to safety concerns over the COVID-19 pandemic.[39] It grossed a total of $112.4 million from 834,000 tickets sold.[40]
