Lady Gaga, who turned a Grammy-winning pop career into an Oscar-winning one, brought The Mayhem Ball to The O2 arena for four nights of gothic pop theatre.
Lady Gaga, who has won 16 Grammys and an Academy Award, brought The Mayhem Ball to The O2 arena in North Greenwich for four nights. She played on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 September and Thursday 2 and Saturday 4 October 2025.
Gaga signed to Interscope Records in 2007 and broke through with The Fame. Its singles “Just Dance”, “Poker Face” and “Bad Romance” made her one of the few artists with three diamond-certified songs in the US.
She then moved through jazz with Tony Bennett, soft rock, television and film. A Star Is Born and its song “Shallow” made her the first person to win an Academy Award, a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and a Grammy in a single year.
Mayhem, released in 2025, returned to the electronic dance-pop of her early records. It opened at number one in the US and included “Die with a Smile”. The four London nights belonged to her first arena tour since 2018.
The show ran for two hours in five acts. She was wheeled on inside a scarlet crinoline that opened into a cage. The story set her against Mother Mayhem, also played by Gaga.
