Update Saturday, December 6: Melbourne, you sure did put your paws up last night! Lady Gaga hit the stage for night one of the Mayhem Ball in Melbourne, performing for an adoring crowd of more than 60,000 people for 2.5 hours. It was a true theatrical feast of iconic hits, costume changes and incredible choreography. And there were surprises, too: Gaga played the unreleased track 'Brooklyn Nights' – a song she hasn't performed live since the last time she was in Melbourne. Will she play it again tonight? The Little Monsters will just have to wait and see...
Since Lady Gaga first announced back in April that she was bringing her Mayhem Ball Tour to Australia, the countdown has been on. And now, we are about to witness the spectacle for ourselves. From what time the gates open (important if you have a GA ticket and want to score a prime position right at the front) to what the setlist looks like (will she finish with 'Bad Romance'?) we've got all the info you need ahead of her two massive shows at Marvel Stadium. See you there, Little Monsters!
