Monster Ball Tour Starring Lady Gaga April 13, 2011

Critics around the world raved about the first leg of The Monster Ball Tour, which Gaga described as ’the first-ever pop-electro opera.” The Sun called it ’breathtaking stuff” and ’the best live show you will see this year,” while London’s Independent wrote, ’Gaga’s got it, which is why, right now, the whole pop world wants to take a ride on her disco stick.” Writing about her show at Radio City Music Hall, the New York Times noted that ’her Monster Ball tour always provided something worth a snapshot: a sci-fi tableau, perhaps, or a skimpy, glittery costume. The more her image gets around, the better Lady Gaga does.

’In just two years, Lady Gaga has become an international superstar, selling out everywhere in the world,” said Arthur Fogel, CEO Global Touring and Chairman – Global Music Live Nation.

Lady Gaga is touring in support of The Fame Monster, which was released on November 18, 2009, by Streamline/Konlive/Cherrytree/Interscope. The album is the follow-up to 2008’s Grammy Award-winning album The Fame, which spawned the No. 1 singles ’Just Dance” and ’Poker Face.” Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 11.5 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga’s singles, including ’Lovegame,” ’Paparazzi,” ’Bad Romance” and ’Telephone,” have achieved combined sales of over 40 million worldwide. At last year’s BRIT awards, she took home awards for International Album (The Fame), International Female Solo Act and International Breakthrough Act.

Her music videos have received a combined total of more than 1 billion views online – the first artist to reach this number. Lady Gaga made another video milestone when ’Bad Romance” became the most viewed video of all-time on YouTube.
