The Mayhem Ball began in North America, with 27 arena shows across eight major markets. Those shows grossed $103.4 million and sold 378,000 tickets. As detailed upon the tour’s announcement, comparing the tour’s $3.8 million per-show average to Gaga’s most recent tours is apples-to-oranges, down 37% from The Chromatica Ball’s brief stadium run ($6 million), and up 150% from her residency at Las Vegas’ Dolby Live ($1.5 million). Ultimately, with more shows than Chromatica and bigger venues than Vegas, she staged her highest-grossing North American leg ever while still leaving meat on the bone for a 2026 return.
Europe followed with 25 shows and $65.5 million. Trips to Australia and Japan brought Gaga back to stadiums, zipping through the former with $60.7 million in five nights and the latter with $45.7 million in six. Her second arena leg in the U.S. and Canada finished the tour with another $87.7 million and 318,000 tickets. The Mayhem Ball out-earned all her previous tours on each continent. It’s been a consistent player on Billboard’s monthly Top Tours chart, ranking among the top 10 for each of the last seven months, with rankings for March and April still yet to be published.
Not only is The Mayhem Ball Gaga’s biggest, it’s among the highest-grossing treks of the 2020s. It is one of the 10 highest-grossing tours by women in Billboard Boxscore history. It’s also among the 10 highest-grossing pop tours ever, and the biggest pop trek this side of The Eras Tour.
Including the Mexico City and Singapore shows, Gaga played 93 shows in 33 markets over the last year, averaging about three nights in each city. Looking back to her most recent mostly-arena tour,
it’s a markedly different schedule than the Joanne World Tour’s 49 shows in 41 cities: almost double the shows, but fewer stops.
