Five time Grammy Award winner Lady Gaga is set to make her triumphant return to Vector Arena this June with her Born This Way Ball. In this brand new tour, Gaga will perform her latest album Born This Way as well as music from both The Fame and The Fame Monster.
Lady Gaga was last at Vector Arena in March 2010, playing two sold-out shows as part of her, “The Monster Ball” tour, which captivated audiences around the globe, receiving rave reviews in every city. The Sun called it “the best live show you will see this year,” and the Pollstar Concert Industry Awards named it the Major Tour of the Year.
This tour looks set to up the ante, with Gaga saying “The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage. 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.”
The Born This Way Ball will be Lady Gaga’s first tour since the release of her album Born This Way, which has sold nearly 6 million copies worldwide since its release in May2011. The album is the follow-up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums 2009’s The Fame Monster, and 2008’s The Fame. Combined, The Fame and The Fame Monster have sold 15 millionalbums worldwide, while Lady Gaga’s hit singles have combined sales of over 65 million worldwide.
Gaga was named Forbes' Most Powerful Woman in the World 2011 and was included in Time's annual "The 2010 Time 100" list of the most influential people in the world. Little wonder: With over 2.2 billion combined views of all her videos online, Lady Gaga is also one of the biggest living people on Facebook (over 47 million ‘likes’), and is #1 on Twitter with nearly 19 million followers. Lady Gaga is the only artist in the digital era to top the 5 million sales mark with her first two hits.
