Lady Gaga Announces First Mexico City Stadium Show In Thirteen Years

Published

on

Lady Gaga announced a massive stadium show in Mexico City, MX at Estadio GNP Seguros on Saturday, April 26, 2025, in support of her forthcoming album, MAYHEM (out March 7 via Interscope Records). The performance, produced by Live Nation and OCESA, marks Gaga’s first headline show in Mexico City since her 2012 show at the same stadium as part of The Born This Way Ball Tour.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with Banamex presales (details below) beginning Thursday, March 6. The general onsale will begin Friday, March 7 at 2pm local time at ticketmaster.com.mx.

BANAMEX PRESALES: Tickets will be available through the Banamex presale on Thursday, March 6, starting at 2:00 p.m., and one day later, on March 7, they will be available at the venue’s box office or through ticketmaster.com.mx.

Today’s Mexico City announcement comes just days ahead of the release of Gaga’s highly anticipated album MAYHEM.  Featuring previously released singles “Abracadabra,” “Disease,” and “Die With a Smile,” the 14-track project blends the eclectic energy that first captivated her fans with a bold vision—exploring themes of chaos and transformation while celebrating music’s power to unite, provoke, and heal.

“Abracadabra” debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Pop Songs Chart, propelling Gaga past 124 million monthly Spotify listeners to set a new record for the largest audience ever achieved by a female artist. Rolling Stone praised the track as “a masterful return to dark pop that nods to the influences shaping her career,” while Clash called it “a thrilling piece of pop music that shifts effortlessly between light and shadow.” Billboard highlighted its “explosive energy” and “high-intensity production,” noting its sonic connection to the darker electronic textures of “Disease.” Pitchfork described the track as “delivering a latex-tight hook in true Born This Way fashion,” while also showcasing elements of her decade-long evolution—from Chromatica’s house piano to the commanding vocal style honed through her theatrical trainin

The official music video for “Abracadabra,” directed by Gaga alongside Parris Goebel and Bethany Vargas, has amassed nearly 62 million views on YouTube since its release on February 2.  Featuring a visually striking dance battle between light and dark Gaga, the video has drawn comparisons to some of her most iconic work. Billboard described it as evoking Bad Romance with “its meticulous display of the intersection of various art forms” and “jaw-dropping high fashion.” Rolling Stone highlighted the frenetic choreography, calling it “an eruption of chaos and movement” that reinforces the concept of MAYHEM, recalling The Fame Monster era. Pitchfork called it “a high-concept production with impeccable styling,” adding that “Gaga remains a step above the average pop star; her true competition is the ghosts of her own past.”

Ahead of “Abracadabra” Gaga released “Disease,” another defining moment in Gaga’s MAYHEM era. Lauded as “her best in a long while” by The Independent, the song was praised by The Guardian for its “fizzing, distorted synths” and “pounding, slightly industrial beat.”  Rolling Stonehighlighted its “cavernous synth line” and “classic Gaga shout-along chorus,” further cementing it as a powerhouse track on the album. The music video, directed by Tanu Muino, was celebrated as “one of the best videos of the year” by Vogue and hailed by W as a “cinematic, almost theater-like experience.”

As anticipation builds for MAYHEM, “Die With a Smile”—Gaga’s collaboration with Bruno Mars has remained a dominant force.  Amassing over 2.9B all-time streams to date, it became the longest-running No. 1 song on Spotify Global of all time and the fastest song in history to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify.  “Die With a Smile” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks, reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, and earned Gaga her 14th Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2025 Grammys.

Recorded at Shangri-La Studios near her home in Malibu, California, MAYHEM was executive produced by Lady Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt.  Producers on the project include Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.

Building on a milestone year, Gaga recently revealed plans for a free performance at Rio de Janeiro’s iconic Copacabana Beach on Saturday, May 3. On March 8, she will pull double duty as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Additionally, Gaga will be honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17 before taking the stage at Coachella for two headlining performances on April 11 and April 18.
