It was on June 18, 2012 that 5-time Grammy Award winner
LADY GAGA made her triumphant return to the stage this Spring with
The Born This Way Ball. In this brand new tour, Gaga performs 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, began on April 27th, 2012 in Seoul, South Korea. Today, The Born This Way Ball announces performances in Johannesburg and Cape Town, following overwhelming ticket on-sales & sold out shows throughout Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia. The South African leg of the tour begins November 30th in Johannesburg.
Supporting LADY Gaga for the European and now South African leg of The Born This Way Ball is the newly reformed British rock band
THE DARKNESS, best known for their hit “I Believe In A Thing Called Love”, and Lady Gaga’s longtime performance partner and DJ,
LADY STARLIGHT, has been confirmed as a special guest.
About the show, the Hong Kong Daily News wrote “
LADY Gaga’s
Born This Way Ball is effortlessly brilliant in both the visual and musical sense,” while Seoul Daily said that with her “splendid and unprecedented stage, she is the absolute queen of pop!” Bangkok Business Newspaper said, “
this concert is a PHENOMENON!”
"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.”

Born This Way (Streamline/ Konlive/ Interscope), which has sold nearly 6 million copies worldwide since its release in May 2011.
