Lady Gaga Announces Return To Singapore With Four Stadium Shows This Spring
Lady Gaga announced her highly anticipated return to Singapore with four massive stadium shows this spring.

Today’s announcement comes just days after the release of Gaga’s seventh studio album, MAYHEM, out now via Interscope Records. Stream/download MAYHEM here.
Marking a return to her pop roots, MAYHEM reaffirms that Gaga is a master of reinvention, crafting an album that is as bold and eclectic as it is deeply personal.

LADY GAGA SINGAPORE 2025 DATES
Sun May 18 – Singapore – National Stadium
Mon May 19 – Singapore – National Stadium
Wed May 21 – Singapore – National Stadium
Sat May 24 – Singapore – National Stadium
Recorded at Shangri-La Studios near her home in Malibu, MAYHEM was executive produced by Lady Gaga, Michael Polansky and Andrew Watt. Producers on the 14-track project include Gaga, Andrew Watt, Cirkut, and Gesaffelstein.
Ahead of the album’s debut, Gaga shared three singles, “Disease,” “Abracadabra,” and “Die With a Smile,” which were released to widespread acclaim.
Mixing industrial pop with introspective lyrics about battling inner demons, “Disease” was lauded as “her best in a long while” by THE INDEPENDENT. THE GUARDIAN praised it for its “fizzing, distorted synths” and “pounding, slightly industrial beat,” while ROLLING STONE highlighted its “cavernous synth line” and “classic Gaga shout-along chorus.” 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.”
“Abracadabra” followed “Disease,” painting a spellbinding picture of life’s trials as a metaphorical party. Driven by themes of resilience and temptation, the song debuted 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.” FADER hailed it as “an anthemic electro-pop song with a deliciously evil-sounding hook and ear-tickling acid house elements,” with PITCHFORK highlighting its “latex-tight hook in true Born This Way fashion,” noting how it also reflects her decade-long evolution—from Chromatica’s house piano to the commanding vocal style honed through her theatrical training.
The official music video for “Abracadabra,” directed by Gaga alongside Parris Goebel and Bethany Vargas, has amassed over 70 million views on YouTube since its release on February 2. Featuring a visually striking dance battle between light and dark Gaga, VOGUE called it a “spooky-chic” spectacle filled with avant-garde fashions, while PITCHFORK praised it as “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.” THE NEW YORK TIMES highlighted its “precise choreography” and “striking costumes,” and VARIETY noted that “the choreography is crisp and frenetic, the costumes are baroque and nod to Catholic grandeur just as it was for her forebear, Madonna.”
As MAYHEM unfolds, its tracklist reveals a deeply immersive journey—one that reflects Gaga’s meticulous attention to detail, from the hybrid of live instrumentation and electronic programming to the rich layers of her vocal performances. Each song weaves complex narratives with striking melodies, a testament to her fearless experimentation and deep respect for her craft.
“Garden of Eden” captures the allure and chaos of nightlife through a fusion of 2000s pop and electro-grunge guitars while “Perfect Celebrity”critiques fame with biting humor and rock-infused defiance. Underscoring Gaga’s ability to mix vulnerability with audacity, “Vanish Into You” is a theatrical, Bowie-inspired declaration of love in an apocalyptic world. “Killah” and “Zombieboy” showcase Gaga’s penchant for genre-blending, infusing funk grooves with industrial and electronic elements, while “LoveDrug” shifts the mood, offering a dark disco anthem about numbing emotional pain.
“The album’s latter half deepens its emotional resonance. “Shadow of a Man” explores thriving in a male-dominated world with French dance influences, while “The Beast” channels Prince’s foreboding yet soulful energy. The penultimate ballad, “Blade of Grass,” is a poignant ode to enduring love amidst chaos, setting the stage for the album’s final track—“Die With a Smile,” Gaga’s collaboration with Bruno Mars.
Infused with soulful optimism, “Die With a Smile” celebrates the joy found after weathering life’s storms. Amassing over 3.7 billion all-time streams to date, it became the longest-running No. 1 song on Spotify Global and the fastest song in history to reach both 1 and 2 billion streams on the platform. “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.
At its core, MAYHEM is about embracing the fractured pieces of oneself and discovering how they come together to form something unexpected and beautiful. The album mirrors this concept with its diverse sonic palette and thematic layers, combining elements of chaos, defiance, and vulnerability into a cohesive artistic statement. Gaga describes this process as assembling a shattered mirror: “Even if you can’t put the pieces back together perfectly, you can create something memorable and whole in its own way.”
Building on a milestone year, Gaga recently announced two massive stadium shows at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on April 26 and April 27 and a historic free concert at Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach on May 3. On March 8, she returned to Saturday Night Live to perform as the host and musical guest. On March 17, she’ll be honored with the 2025 iHeartRadio Innovator Award before returning to Coachella for headlining performances on April 11 and 18.

“Luke and I have each been at this, career-wise and as friends, for over twenty years, and have gotten to hit a lot of milestones along the way.
