"Lady shows why she's the queen of pop." The Independent "Hold onto your hairdo, this is one helluva ride." Times Online
In a show that the Sun described as "awe-inspiring" and "the best live
show you will see this year," The Monster Ball tour is a visual spectacular
bringing the vision of pop music's biggest star to vivid reality.
Self-described as "more of a musical than a concert" the journey to the ball
takes Gaga and fans on a wild and warped ride from start to finish. From the
Gaga'ized Rolls Royce, through 15 costume changes, as the Times say, this is
truly "one helluva ride."
North American audiences can look forward to her first major arena tour
when Lady Gaga returns to North America this June for a 30-city tour. The
North American itinerary and on-sale information will be announced soon.
It was also announced that Live Nation Global Touring will act as
International tour promoter and producer for The Monster Ball Tour under the
direction of Arthur Fogel, CEO/Chairman Live Nation Global Touring who said:
"We're absolutely thrilled to be taking The Monster Ball Tour to fans around
the world. Lady Gaga is a truly exceptional artist and the production is
beyond amazing."
