Lady Gaga kicks off Mayhem Ball tour in Las Vegas, full setlist revealed
The performance included a full setlist of crowd favourites, rare live returns, and new arrangements.
The show largely mirrored her earlier Coachella performances, but with several key additions. Tracks like 'Applause,' 'Just Dance,' 'Shadow of a Man,' and 'LoveDrug' were not featured in her previous 2025 sets. 'Kill for Love,' from the Mayhem album, made its live debut.
One of the standout moments came during 'Shallow,' which received a visual update, performed by Gaga from a gondola. A solo version of 'Die With a Smile' was also reworked.
Although 'Bad Romance' closed the main set and the credits rolled, Gaga returned for an unlisted encore of 'How Bad Do U Want Me,' dressed casually in a Cramps t-shirt.
The full setlist included:
Bloody Mary
Abracadabra
Judas
Aura
Scheiße
Garden of Eden

Lady Gaga teams with Tim Burton for Wednesday song music video shot in Mexico
Lady Gaga is set to release a new song titled 'Death Dance' for Season 2 of Netflix's Wednesday, accompanied by a music video directed by Tim Burton, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. The insider revealed that the video was filmed in Mexico, though the exact shoot dates remain unclear. Gaga was in Mexico City in April for concerts at Estadio GNP Seguros, which may have coincided with the music video's production. Variety first reported the news and confirmed that the track will release next month. Netflix officially announced Gaga's involvement in Wednesday during a Tudum fan event held in Los Angeles in May. THR had previously reported her casting for a guest role late last year. Part one of Wednesday Season 2 premiered on August 6, while part two — which will include Gaga's guest appearance — is scheduled to debut on September 3. Tim Burton, who directed four episodes in both Season 1 and 2, shared his connection with the character and the show. 'I've never done television, so it was the idea of exploring something on a longer time frame,' Burton told THR in July. 'As much as a middle-aged man could feel like a teenage Wednesday Addams, I feel those things. And she's a character that's all about being subtle because she doesn't really have a huge range of emotions.' Beyond her work on Wednesday, Gaga is also busy with her Mayhem Ball arena tour, which began at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on July 16. She also headlined Coachella in April with a performance widely hailed as one of the best in the festival's history.

Lady Gaga under fire for offensive fan messages at concert
Lady Gaga has landed in controversy after fan-submitted messages projected during her Mayhem Ball concert went viral for all the wrong reasons. Screens at a recent show displayed two inflammatory remarks, one calling Madonna a '90-year-old who wants to be Gaga,' and another branding Katy Perry a liar. The incident triggered immediate online backlash, with accusations of ageism, misogyny, and hypocrisy erupting across social media. The comments were part of an interactive segment where concertgoers could submit messages to be shown during the performance. While intended to create a sense of fan engagement, the system backfired when offensive submissions slipped through moderation. A viral tweet highlighted the messages, stating Gaga was 'allowing ageist and misogynistic comments at her concert,' which ignited an online war among fanbases. Critics blasted the singer and her team for failing to properly filter the displayed comments. 'Love Gaga but this is supposed to be a safe, respectful space,' one user wrote. Others were more direct, calling her 'a hypocrite' and 'performative.' Fans of Madonna and Katy Perry swiftly jumped into the fray, accusing Gaga of encouraging fan wars and disrespecting her peers. However, some fans defended the pop star, arguing that she wasn't personally responsible for the comments. 'They were submitted by trolls and slipped through,' one supporter explained. 'She's not ageist, this was a moderation failure, not malice.' Others speculated the situation was being manipulated by ragebait accounts deliberately stirring fan drama. Despite the nuance, many still hold Gaga accountable, noting her role as creative director of the tour. 'Even if she didn't write the comments, she's responsible for what appears on her stage,' a critic argued. The Mayhem Ball tour, supporting Gaga's album Mayhem, has been praised for its elaborate visuals and choreography. But with the backlash now dominating the narrative, fans are watching closely to see whether Gaga or her team will issue a statement or quietly remove the feature from future shows.

Lady Gaga to release new song for Netflix's 'Wednesday' Season 2 alongside appearance on the show
Lady Gaga is confirmed to release a new track titled Dead Dance for the second season of the Tim Burton-directed Netflix series Wednesday. Two sources close to the production revealed the news to Variety, confirming fan theories that had circulated in recent months. The song and its accompanying video are scheduled for release next month, timed with Gaga's on-screen appearance as Rosaline Rotwood who is described as a 'legendary Nevermore teacher who crosses paths with Wednesday.' Reps for the singer declined to comment, but industry insiders have linked the song's production to Andrew Watt and Cirkut, who also worked on Gaga's Mayhem album. Although she was absent from the recent Wednesday Season 2 premiere in London due to her ongoing Mayhem Ball tour, Burton praised her creative energy. 'She's such an artist and so for me, working with an artist is inspirational,' he told Variety. The new season also includes Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Steve Buscemi, and Joanna Lumley. The first four episodes of Wednesday Season 2 will be released on Netflix on August 6, 2025, at 3 am ET / 12 am PT. The final four episodes will follow on September 3, 2025.
