Lady GaGa keeps on rolling. Her first major North American arena tour will start June 28 at Montreal’s Bell Centre, stopping at 31 cities before wrapping at Raleigh’s RBC Center on Sept. 19.
The most-covered person on the planet by the pop media announced the dates on her website this morning. Tickets for the Live Nation-presented, Monster Ball tour go on sale starting March 19.
The show will have a New York theme and will boast bigger production than the Monster Ball that swung through smaller venues last year. “It’s a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the Monster Ball and we get lost,” LG told Ryan Seacrest last month.
As Billboard.biz notes, the dates around the Aug. 6-8 Lollapalooza remain open on GaGa’s schedule, fueling the continued speculation that we reported last month the she’ll be headlining the Chicago festival.
