Lady Gaga Announces ‘Joanne’ World Tour

Hot on the heels of her inclusive, upbeat and largely apolitical Super Bowl halftime show, Lady Gaga announced a major world tour on Sunday night.

She posted the news of the tour on Twitter :

The tour takes its name from her most recent album, “Joanne,” which was released in October.

Several hours after posting the news on Twitter, tour dates and locations were listed on Lady Gaga’s website. The tour will begin in Vancouver, British Columbia, on Aug. 1, and will include stops in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin and other cities across Europe and the Western Hemisphere before wrapping up in Salt Lake City in December.

Some fans said they were eager to hear her perform but expected to pay handsomely for the privilege.


Others seemed unsurprised that Gaga was riding the wave of her Super Bowl success with a big announcement :

Lady Gaga’s last major tour, titled “Cheek to Cheek,” promoted an album of jazz ballads that she released with the singer Tony Bennett.

Coachella 2017 Headliner : Lady Gaga To Officially Replace Beyonce On Line-Up


Fresh from her Super Bowl LI performance, Lady Gaga has confirmed she will step in for Beyoncé at Coachella after she announced she would not be able to headline the festival due to pregnancy.

Billboard reported that organisers were finalising plans last night and a few hours later Gaga tweeted an updated line-up poster, alongside the caption: “Let’s party in the desert!”
Coachella did pretty well to find such a high-profile stand-in at such short notice (in mega festival terms - it takes place in April) and Gaga is a fitting replacement, the pair having collaborated several times, most memorably on the tracks ‘Telephone’ and (my personal jam) ‘Videophone’.




Beyoncé, who is pregnant with twins, hoped to play Coachella but was advised not to by doctor’s; she could have been in her third trimester during the set.

The slot adds to a busy summer for Gaga, who, off the back of the Super Bowl half-time show, will soon embark on a Joanne world tour.

She will be the first woman to headline Coachella since Björk in 2007 and is joined on the line-up by Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead, Bon Iver, Future, Lorde and more.
The festival takes place in Indio, California on two consecutive weekends: 14-16 and 21-23 April.
