Lady Gaga announced the dates and venues for the summer leg of her continually expanding Monster Ball tour Monday, which will see the pop star headlining arenas throughout North America for the first time. The trek begins June 28 in Montreal and continues until Sept. 19, when it wraps up in Raleigh, N.C. The first dates of the tour — including a July 6 stop at New York’s Madison Square Garden — go on sale March 19.
Missing from the itinerary announced Monday is Lady Gaga’s expected headlining appearance at the Lollapalooza festival in downtown Chicago, although the dates of the festival, Aug. 6-8, remain open on the schedule.
Although Gaga’s 2009-2010 North American tour was also dubbed the Monster Ball, the pop star promises an expanded production built to suit the larger venues.
“It’s still called Monster Ball, but it’s more of a musical and less of a concert,” Lady Gaga said in a February interview with KIIS-FM’s Ryan Seacrest. “It has a New York theme, it’s a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost.”
