Tour news: Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, Alanis Morissette

Lady Gaga has announced her first Mexico headline show in 13 years in support of her forthcoming album, Mayhem.

The superstar will return to Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on the 26 April 2025, where she performed on The Born This Way Ball tour in 2012.

The stadium show – produced by Live Nation and OCESA – will take place a week prior to her free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

The 3 May show, which will mark Gaga’s first show in the country since 2012, will take place on a custom stage and be broadcast live on Brazilian TV.

Produced by promoter Bonus Track in partnership with Live Nation, the gig will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis for those arriving at Copacabana Beach near the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel on the day of the event.

Alanis Morissette has announced that she will be headlining London’s The O2 on Sunday 27 July

Billie Eilish, meanwhile, has set a new attendance record at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, owned by TEG and operated by ASM Global.

The American singer celebrated the end of her Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour by breaking the long-standing single event attendance record previously set by Justin Timberlake for the FutureSex/LoveShow Tour 18 years prior.

Approximately 21,000 fans attended Eilish’s 28 February 2025 show, eclipsing the previous mark of 20,839 held by Timberlake for the 13 November 2007 show. Three of her four nights at Qudos Bank Arena eclipsed the previous record.
