\n\tLady Gaga<\/a> officially kicked off her 2025 \u201cMayhem Ball\u201d tour Wednesday night in Las Vegas, and fans nationwide and around the world were following reports out of the T-Mobile Arena to find out what she\u2019s performing and how it does or doesn\u2019t differ from the handful of shows she performed earlier this year. Scroll down to see the full setlist.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Mayhem Ball closely follows the template established at her Coachella shows from April, but with some very crowd-pleasing additions, most of them popping up in the second half of the show. Favorites not heard earlier in this year\u2019s pre-Ball\u201d shows included \u201cApplause,\u201d \u201cJust Dance,\u201d \u201cShadow of a Man\u201d and \u201cLoveDrug.\u201d \u201cKill for Love,\u201d from her recent \u201cMayhem\u201d album, was the only number to receive its live debut at this show, but apart from that, \u201cSummerboy\u201d \u2014 a track from \u201cThe Fame\u201d \u2014 was the rarest, not having been performed in concert in 18 years.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShallow\u201d also received a new arrangement and visual treatment, with Gaga now singing it from a gondola. Her live solo version of her Bruno Mars collaboration, \u201cDie With a Smile\u201d received a substantial stylistic makeover from past live performances, as well.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen \u201cBad Romance\u201d reached its climax, the show appeared for all intents and purposes to be over; not only has that been her closer in other shows, but credits for the tour appeared on screen after the star and her stage personnel left the stage. However, everyone loves a good post-credits scene, and the lights did not come back up. Instead, she and her team of dancers reappeared first on video screens from backstage, and then in the flesh, for a surprise encore of the \u201cMayhem\u201d track \u201cHow Bad Do U Want Me.\u201d For that final turn on stage, Gaga set aside her usual avant-garde couture for an ultra-casual look that included a Cramps t-shirt. (Gaga had included this number in previous 2025 shows, but this marked its first appearance as a final encore song.)<\/p>\n

\n\tWith the addition of songs not previously heard in live appearances earlier this year, the Las Vegas show ran two hours and 12 minutes, after Gaga took the stage at 8:40 p.m. <\/p>\n

(Variety will be publishing a full review of the tour opener on Thursday morning.)<\/p>\n

\n\tHer handful of shows earlier this year were not officially billed as \u201cMayhem Ball\u201d tour shows. Gaga followed the release of her well-received \u201cMayhem\u201d album with two Coachella dates in mid-April, seen by millions via livestream. She then did a handful of large-scale shows in Mexico, Brazil and Singapore in late April through late May. The Las Vegas kickoff marks her first full live show in almost two months.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis North American tour is a short one, at least as far as 2025 dates go. She will be doing stands ranging from three to six nights in Las Vegas, Seattle, New York, Miami, Toronto and Chicago over the next two months, with the U.S. leg wrapping up Sept. 17. Gaga then goes overseas, starting with a Sept. 30 show at London\u2019s 02, and moving on to Sweden, Italy, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and France; the European leg is currently scheduled to wrap up on Nov. 20.<\/p>\n

\n\tGaga\u2019s plans for 2026 are unknown, but she has certainly left plenty of demand on the table for further shows in the U.S. This summer outing takes her only to six North American cities, and in arenas, which even with multiple nights booked could still be considered underplays, considering that she did stadiums on her \u201cChromatica\u201d tour.<\/p>\n
