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.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
