Lady Gaga, the flamboyant pop superstar, has announced fall plans for her “The Monster Ball Tour.” It will launch a few days following the release next month of “The Fame Monster,” her new expanded album.
The North American trek will kick off in Montreal on November 27 and a few other Canadian dates will follow before the outing heads into the US. The 18 theater visits include several engagements of two nights including Boston on December 1-2, Vancouver on December 9-10 and Chicago on January 8-9. Her fall-winter tour will wrap up at Radio City Music Hall in New York City for a stand of two nights.
Kid Cudi will support the trek. According to the website of Lady Gaga, the outing will be an experience of multimedia and the first pop electro opera.
Lady Gaga earlier this month revealed plans for releasing an expanded “The Fame” version, which was the singer’s multi-platinum debut album. Re-named “The Fame Monster” this expanded set will added eight new songs. The album is set to be released on November 24.
Lady Gaga posted a message on her website that said you have 96 hours exactly to learn the lyrics. That way you’ll be able to sing along. Dress accordingly.
Last summer Lady Gaga released her debut album with a major label, “The Fame.” The set peaked in the No. 4 position on Billboard’s 200 chart and spawned the hit singles “Poker Face” and “Just Dance.” Two additional tracks, “LoveGame” and “Paparazzi” were No. 6 and No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
Earlier in the month, Lady Gaga and Kayne West canceled their scheduled co-headlining tour. No reason for the cancellation was confirmed. West did tell Jay Leno recently that he was planning on taking some time off.
