The poster and the stage design are not disappointing like the album cover... 8-)

Good sign!

I am going to this tour if it bankrupts me.

When Gaga announce the tour dates, I`ll post them. Patience!

By the way, which song do you think Gaga will open the tour with?

I think with Government Hooker!

Maybe with Marry The Night.

But I would love TEOG to be the ending song. So emotional and powerful. And the very last seconds are just perfect.

GaGa said that the inspiration behind Marry The Night was the energy of Dance In The Dark at the beginning of every show... so it would be an appropriate choice to open the new show!

The tour poster is horrible. :cry:

This is the first time that I don't completely and utterly like that Gaga did. It looks like a college made poster. Really low quality. The castle looks like a one from a Z-level movie production. Ewwwww.

If you look closely, the castle looks like her body...

Can't wait to book tickets for this - will pay up to £100 for tickets

That poster is a bit scary

Guys, what if the castle is located in G.O.A.T.? :lol:

Gaga posted the music video of Born This Way and we can see the purple square and the sky... 8-)

It`s logical... :roll:

It ain't a square. It's a triangle. And it's pink, not purple: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_triangle

Lady Gaga To Take On The World with 'Born This Way Ball' Tour

Lady Gaga will unveil dates for her "Born This Way Ball" tour in Asia and Australia at 2 p.m. ET today, and those shows will be followed by dates in the rest of the world, Billboard.biz has learned.

Live Nation Global Touring CEO Arthur Fogel and his team will steer the tour, as they did the bulk of the "Monster Ball" tour of 2010-2011, which grossed $188 million from 167 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore. "Monster Ball" put Gaga - no. 84 on Billboard's recent "Power 100" list -- on the map as a major, arena-plus level touring artist, and demand to see her remains very high. Given that she won't return to tour North America until next year, those markets will be fresh, though it is likely she could play most cities in North America tomorrow and do sellout business.

Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Is the Biggest Ever Debut Arena Headlining Tour

The tour's first leg will hit Southeast and Japan through early June, encompassing 15 shows at stadiums and arenas. Gaga will then play about 15 shows in Australia, ending in July. Beyond that, current plans call for her to tour Europe in August, followed by Latin America towards the end of the year, and then North America in Q1 2013, beginning in January and running into March. The total tour looks like about 100 dates. Production is still in the conceptual stages.

"The last tour established her as a major act worldwide and I believe this tour will be an extension of that, particularly considering we're going to territories she's never been in, like Southeast Asia and Latin America," Fogel told Billboard.biz.

THE BORN THIS WAY BALL
STARRING LADY GAGA

5-time Grammy Award winner LADY GAGA is set to make her triumphant return to the stage with her Born This Way Ball. In this brand new tour, Gaga will perform her latest album Born This Way as well as music from both The Fame and The Fame Monster. The Born This Way Ball, produced globally by Live Nation, will begin on April 27th, 2012 in Seoul, South Korea, and will travel the globe including cities that Gaga has never played before.

Lady Gaga’s last tour – The Monster Ball – captivated audiences around the globe, receiving rave reviews in every city. The Sun called it “the best live show you will see this year,” and the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards named it the Major Tour of the Year.

“The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage,” said Mother Monster. “THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.”

The Born This Way Ball will be Lady Gaga’s first tour since the release of her album Born This Way, which has sold nearly 6 million copies worldwide since its release in May 2011. The album is the follow-up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums 2009’s The Fame Monster, and 2008’s The Fame. Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 15 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga’s hit singles have combined sales of over 65 million worldwide.

Gaga was named Forbes’ Most Powerful Woman in the World 2011 and was included in Time’s annual “The 2010 Time 100? list of the most influential people in the world. With over 2.2 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living people on Facebook with over 47 million ‘likes’ and is #1 on Twitter with nearly 19 million followers. Lady Gaga is the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits.

Check out the first 11 dates for the tour below:

April 27, 2012 - Seoul, South Korea - Olympic Stadium
May 2, 2012 - Hong Kong - Asia World Arena
May 10, 2012 - Tokyo, Japan - Saitama Super Arena

That's crazy only one scheduled so far!!

she can easily do about 15 concerts! But they will definitely add more dates in Japan. I reckon she will be in Japan between May 3 and May 27, I think 10 dates could be easily added to the schedule!

by **spiritboy** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 9:26 pm

If she comes to Istanbul, which might be possible since there are some rumours about it, i will definitely attend the concert.

I'm so going to this show..no matter what

by **Timmy94** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 9:56 pm

@Japan: Lady Gaga's so huge there, I'm sure she could do something like P!nk did during her Funhouse-tour in Australia...
