Lady Gaga’s The Mayhem Ball Unleashes Upon Las Vegas: 7 Best Moments From Opening Night

The tour kicked off to a sold-out crowd at the T-Mobile Arena.

We’re lucky Lady Gaga changed her mind about touring in 2025.

Her headlining (and headline-making) Coachella performance and Singapore dates were initially intended as her only touring dates for 2025. But after the wild response to her new album Mayhem — which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200; earned Gaga her biggest-ever streaming week; and housed “Die With a Smile,” her Bruno Mars duet which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks and is still in the top 10 — Gaga reconsidered.

Thank Gaga. The Mayhem Ball – which kicked off Wednesday (July 16) at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada (basically Las Vegas) — is a theatrical, electric and delicious live affair, offering fans charged performances of Mayhem’s best songs (some of which are among her all-time best) and previous dance classics that inhabit the same sonic and thematic universe. The tour’s opening night was for a sold-out crowd, and despite the 99-degree heat outside the arena walls, everyone was ready to thrown down the moment Mother Monster took the stage.

“This is my first arena tour since 2018,” said Gaga in a statement when she announced the tour in March. “There’s something electric about a stadium, and I love every moment of those shows. But with The MAYHEM Ball, I wanted to create a different kind of experience — something more intimate — closer, more connected — that lends itself to the live theatrical art I love to create.”

Below, check out the seven best moments from the opening night of Lady Gaga’s The Mayhem Ball. (And if you want to eyeball the setlist, head here.)
