Lady Gaga hosts 'Monster Ball' into 2010
Pop superstar Lady Gaga has unveiled fall plans for "The Monster Ball" tour, which will begin just a few days after next month's release of her expanded album "The Fame Monster."
The North American outing kicks off with a Nov. 27 show in Montreal, followed by a few more Canadian dates before dipping down into the US. Among the 18 theater stops are several two-night engagements, including Dec. 1-2 in Boston, Dec. 9-10 in Vancouver and Jan. 8-9 in Chicago. The fall and winter tour wraps up with a two-night stand at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. Details are shown below.
The excursion, which will feature support from Kid Cudi, will be a multimedia experience "in the style of the first-ever pop electro opera," according to Lady Gaga's website.
Earlier this month, Lady Gaga revealed plans to release an expanded version of her multi-platinum debut, "The Fame." Re-christened "The Fame Monster," the revamped set--which will include eight new songs--is slated to hit retailers Nov. 24.
"You have exactly 96 hours to learn all of the lyrics so you can sing along," the songstress stated in a message posted at her website. "Dress accordingly."
The flamboyant songstress released "The Fame," her major-label debut, last summer. The album peaked at No. 4 on The Billboard 200 and spawned two hit singles: "Just Dance" and "Poker Face." Two more tracks, "Paparazzi" and "LoveGame," charted at Nos. 5 and 6 respectively on The Billboard Hot 100.
Earlier this month, an extensive co-headlining tour alongside Kanye West was canceled for no confirmed reason, though West told NBC's Jay Leno in recent weeks that he planned to "take some time off."
