Lady Gaga Announces “The Monster Ball” Tour

Exactly two weeks after Lady Gaga and Kanye West’s Fame Kills Tour was canceled, The Fame singer has revealed the dates for her solo jaunt, called The Monster Ball Tour. “The Haus of Gaga had been designing ‘The Monster Ball’ for premiere in 2010 at the O2 Arena in London, but due to diligent work and preparation, ‘The Monster Ball’ will begin on November 27 in Montreal,” Gaga wrote on her official Website. ” ‘The Monster Ball’ is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever ‘pop electro opera.’ ”

Check out Lady Gaga’s wildest wardrobe moments.

The 22-date trek finds Gaga performing at much smaller, more intimate venues than those that were booked for the Fame Kills Tour. For example, instead of performing at Uniondale, New York’s Nassau Coliseum, the Monster Ball Tour will wrap up with Gaga performing two hometown shows at Radio City Music Hall. Gaga has been a staple at New York’s more famous theaters in recent months, performing at Radio City during the VMAs and then Carnegie Hall for the all-star An Evening with Gavin Friday & Friends benefit concert.

“A message to all my little monsters: The Fame Monster will come out four days before the first live show. You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along,” Gaga writes. “Dress accordingly.”

Fansite GagaDaily got their hands on the track listing for The Fame Monster reissue’s bonus tracks. Check out the Monster Ball dates and Monster’s new song titles below:

Jp | 10/16/2009, 11:57 am EST

That price was for the fame kills tour, WAYYY TO effing expensive to see kanye. only idiots would pay that much!

R | 10/16/2009, 12:14 pm EST

She sings (does not lip-sync), she plays the piano… and writes her own songs…

c | 10/16/2009, 12:26 pm EST

she never lip syncs. only sings. she’s an amazing performer. i cannot wait to buy tickets for this.

Anonymous | 10/16/2009, 1:11 pm EST

The best news would be if she agreed to “perform” with a bag over her head.

K | 10/16/2009, 7:48 pm EST

She need a face lift, ugly self

HonestQuestion | 10/17/2009, 1:28 pm EST

Who is her audience? It’s not tweens and teens is it? Is there some kind of crossover thing going on? I’m just confused over all this hype and I couldn’t name one person who likes her. Not that I am saying she blows, but I just don’t see where her fanbase is?

Mikel Monroe | 10/17/2009, 7:27 pm EST

I don’t understand what TBD means? I want to see her in LAS VEGAS

Bozbor | 10/18/2009, 11:11 am EST

SNL | 10/18/2009, 1:50 pm EST

If you hate gaga because she “lip syncs,” check out her performance on SNL, she clearly was not lip syncing and I thought she was an impressive performer. I’m not a fan of hers, really, but I would like to go to this show.

Gina.S | 10/18/2009, 6:15 pm EST

lip syncs SHOULD BE BANNED your just hiding the fact that you dont have talent if you do it stupied!
GAGA ALL THE WAY

CHU | 10/18/2009, 6:46 pm EST

Kid Cudi is opening from what i’ve heard. the snl performance was rediculously impressive

John | 10/19/2009, 12:48 pm EST

GA GA is a very talented piano player with a nice voice.

Matthew | 10/19/2009, 3:12 pm EST

Shes very average… a dime a dozen in fact… how many girls can sing? boooooring…. its just so common anyone can do it… the main problem is theres no room for lyrics and they are all dumb as hell..they just shake their poonanies and their sales skyrocket..look at beyonce…lady gaga= average talent+publicst and good record label+software and talented engineers and producers who can dish the “candy” for the ppl at the candyshop.. screw this bs

Matthew | 10/19/2009, 3:12 pm EST

oh and gaga… respect for playing the piano

lol

Kristi | 10/19/2009, 7:56 pm EST

Samantha | 10/26/2009, 9:06 am EST

If You Don’t Like Her Why Are You Reading And Article About Her?????

BJ | 10/26/2009, 5:54 pm EST

Gaga is the TAKE OVER!! and for all of you who don’t know. She can sing very well! and can play 7 instruments. She can dance and sing at the same time while staying on pitch. simply put, she is the sh*t. NO ARTIST out here other than beyonce, can sing and dance at the same time. GAGA is so effn original and creative! I cant wait to see her here in NY!! GO GAGA!

BJ | 10/26/2009, 5:56 pm EST

LG | 10/29/2009, 5:48 pm EST

people who disagree she is a modern day wonder, stop being idiots aand actuly read she can sing she designs most of her own cloths, designs her sets, makes all the dances up, writes her own music and music for other artists she is very talented. maybe her taste does not suit you oh well get over it. i will give you all the money i have if you can do what she does better??!! thats what i thought!!

Lady Gaga Fan94 | 11/1/2009, 7:39 pm EST

sucit | 11/2/2009, 3:53 am EST

y’all haters are so JEALOUS!

why don’t you perform your OWN original material in NYC for until you get discovered, then become the most talked-about new artist at the MTV VMA’s (at age 22!!), THEN you can talk some shit, bitches!

Amy Elizabeth!!!! | 11/2/2009, 4:42 pm EST

NaomiDollFace! | 11/4/2009, 10:54 am EST

GaGa Is An Extremely Talented Entertainer And She Can Sing, If People Like Her Didn’t Exist & It Was All Whitney Houstons Music Would Be Pretty Dam Boring!!
