Today’s announcement follows Gaga’s highly anticipated return to the MTV VMAs this past Sunday, where she performed her new single “The Dead Dance” from Madison Square Garden and took home four awards, including Artist of the Year and Best Collaboration for “Die with a Smile,” her smash hit with Bruno Mars.
“The Dead Dance,” produced by Gaga alongside Andrew Watt and Cirkut, debuted last week with a cinematic videodirected by visionary Tim Burton and produced by Michael Polansky, Burton, and Natalie Testa. Marking Gaga’s first creative collaboration with Burton, the story was brought to life on location at Isla de las Muñecas—Mexico’s infamous Island of the Dolls. The video shifts between stark black-and-white and bursts of vivid color, weaving eerie doll imagery with Gaga’s commanding performance. Costumes were designed by Colleen Atwood, with choreography from Parris Goebel and featured choreography from Corey Baker.
The song—which was featured in Netflix’s Wednesday Season 2 (Part 2), where Gaga makes a cameo as the mysterious Rosaline Rotwood—was praised as both “haunting” and an “electro pop banger,” with “a bouncy 1980s electro pop vibe, propelled by funhouse keyboards and bright drum machine beats” (BILLBOARD). ROLLING STONEcalled it a “soaring pop track” with a “serious dance-ready beat, while NME highlighted the spooky, funky energy, pointing to its “infectious bassline, ‘Thriller’-esque synths and licks of electric guitar.”
Since it launched on July 16, Lady Gaga’s The MAYHEM Ball tour has drawn rave reviews from critics including the NEW YORK TIMES who hailed it as a “deliciously campy extravaganza” and described Gaga as “operating at the peak of her powers.’ ROLLING STONE highlighted Gaga’s creative evolution, writing that she “didn’t just revisit [Coachella]—she expanded it, sharpened it, sprinkled in some nostalgia, and fully realized the gothic dream she had only just introduced.” VARIETY called the show a “breathless, finely-tuned spectacular,” and “a welcome reminder of her many, many talents,” while BILLBOARD hailed the show as “a theatrical, electric and delicious live affair,” emphasizing the charged performances of MAYHEM’s standout tracks and past dancefloor staples.
The sold-out tour celebrates Gaga’s eighth studio album, MAYHEM, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200—Gaga’s seventh consecutive No. 1 solo album—and remained a dominant global force, topping the Dance/Electronic Albums chart for 17 weeks, spending 12 weeks in the Top 20, and holding a Top 10 spot on the Pop Albums chart for 15 consecutive weeks. The album has since been Certified Platinum by the RIAA.
Her record-breaking collaboration with Bruno Mars, “Die With a Smile,” further cemented the album’s impact. It spent 18 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 for five weeks, and broke Spotify records as the fastest song to surpass both 1 billion (96 days) and 2 billion (200 days) streams.
The MAYHEM Ball follows Gaga’s headlining performances at Coachella and a landmark series of international shows, including stadium dates in Mexico City and Singapore. In Rio de Janeiro, her free show at Copacabana Beach drew an estimated 2.5 million fans—setting a new record for the highest attended concert by a female artist in history.
The tour continues tomorrow with the first of three sold-out shows at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, followed by a three-night run in Chicago to wrap the first North American leg. Gaga then heads overseas, launching the UK/Europe leg on Monday, September 29 with four nights at The O2 in London before continuing across the region. She’ll close out the year in Australia and begin 2026 with six shows in Japan this January.

Multi-Platinum Texas Singer & Songwriter Dylan Gossett Continues Touring Ascent
Last week, Gossettreleased his critically acclaimed sophomore album, Ramblin’, via Big Loud Texas / Mercury Records—listen to Ramblin’ HERE.
Emerging as one of the leading new voices in Texas Country, Gossett has carved out a distinct sound blending Americana and Red Dirt influences with lyricism rooted in his Southern upbringing. Ramblin’ builds on the foundation of his critically acclaimed 2025 debut album, Westward, while expanding on the deeply personal songwriting at the heart of his music. Written after years of relentless touring around the world, the new record finds Gossett returning home to Austin, Texas with a renewed perspective on love, relationships, and the place that shaped him. According to Gossett, Ramblin’ “feels like a homecoming.”
The album also includes previously released singles, “Clothesline,” “Loving You Like That,” and “Honeysuckle,” which introduced the world to this next chapter for one of country music’s fastest-rising artists.
Fresh off select North American dates supporting Mumford & Sons and The Red Clay Strays, Gossett is currently on the second leg of his co-headlining U.S. tour with Charles Wesley Godwin, which runs through the end of October. Last week, Gossett was also announced on the star-studded 2027 Stagecoach lineup, playing on Friday, April 23rd. Continuing his rapid global ascent, he’ll also launch a headline tour across Australia and New Zealand later this fall and in Europe and the U.K. top of next year. With over 200,000 headline tickets sold worldwide, there has been repeat demand for Gossett not only in North America but globally, as his tours have sold-out across Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., and Europe.
Over the past three years, Dylan Gossett has emerged as one of country music’s most exciting new voices. Hailing from Austin, Texas, the 27-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer has amassed nearly 1.5 billion career streams, led by his breakthrough anthem “Coal,” now certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA in the U.S. and Multi-Platinum internationally. Gossett has earned acclaim for his authentic songwriting while sharing music with collaborators including Noeline Hofmann and Ole 60. His meteoric rise has also seen him tour alongside some of today’s biggest artists, including George Strait, Zach Top, Mumford & Sons, The Lumineers, HARDY, and The Red Clay Strays, while appearing at marquee festivals including Stagecoach and Austin City Limits Music Festival. Recognized by Spotify and Amazon as an Artist to Watch and named to MusicRow’s Next Big Thing list, Gossett continues to cement himself as one of the defining new voices in modern country and Americana.

Today’s news follows the release of the band’s latest single “Tear It Down”from their forthcoming fourth studio album, PALACE FOR THE PEOPLE, which arrives Friday, October 9 via Republic Records. Pre-order/pre-save the album HERE. “Tear It Down” follows lead tracks “Play Your Games” and “Saw You Stand,” which the band performed onJimmy Kimmel Live!, and offers another look behind the curtain of their majestic new album.
On PALACE FOR THE PEOPLE, Greta Van Fleet continue to explore themes of humanity, connection, resilience, and transcendence—building a body of work that feels both deeply personal and universally resonant. They’ve made a mysterious, monumental, and cataclysmic body of work, painting a sonic tableau out of powerhouse vocals, earth-rupturing riffs, and stunning solos. This is expressive, ethereal, and energetic rock and roll music delivered with apropos symphonic grace, revelrous excess, dynamics, and the glory of a collective who refuse to be boxed in musically, thematically, or spiritually. It’s also the brilliance of a bloodline committed to tape. They have taken another massive creative leap, building a new place for listeners to congregate and determining the tone for rock’s future in the process.
Prior to the Into The Beginning Tour and in celebration of the forthcoming album, Greta Van Fleet will perform an intimate under-play residency next month at Nashville’s The Basement East on the first three Saturdays in October. For more information go to: GretaVanFleet.com.
