Lady Gaga has revealed the stage plan for her forthcoming Born This Way Ball tour, which is schedule to launch later this year and run through 2013. In a tweet posted at midnight last night, the singer showed off a black and white drawing of the stage, which includes a medieval castle in the staging, along with an enclosed runway through the audience which resembles the stage plan for U2's Elevation and Vertigo tours.

According to Gaga, the enclosed area will be called the Monster Pit and will be reserved for fans with general admission tickets who "waited all night" and are "dressed to Ball." "Every night Haus of Gaga will choose fans from the Monster Pit to come back stage and meet me!" Gaga wrote. "These tickets are NOT more expensive."

Gaga has not yet announced dates for the tour, but has been teasing fans on Twitter with tiny bits of information regarding its staging and setlist in recent weeks.

“Let My Love Open the Door”

Pete Townshend | 1980

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
