Listen up "Little Monsters", Lady Gaga will be heading to South Africa!

The multiple Grammy winning star will be bringing her Born This Way Ball tour to the country at the end of the year.

Gaga, who is never shy of controversy or of making a statement, will perform two gigs, one in Johannesburg on the 30th of November at the FNB Stadium and one in Cape Town on the third of December.




Supporting Lady Gaga for the European and now South African leg of the tour is the newly reformed British rock band The Darkness, best known for their hit I Believe In A Thing Called Love. Lady Gaga’s longtime performance partner and DJ, Lady Starlight, has been confirmed as a special guest.

About the show, the Hong Kong Daily News wrote “Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Ball is effortlessly brilliant in both the visual and musical sense,” while Seoul Daily said that with her “splendid and unprecedented stage, she is the absolute queen of pop!” Bangkok Business Newspaper commented that, “this concert is a PHENOMENON!”

The Born This Way Ball is Lady Gaga’s first tour since the release of her album Born This Way, which has sold nearly six million copies worldwide since its release in May 2011. 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 million albums worldwide, while Lady Gaga’s hit singles have combined sales of over 90 million worldwide.
