Lady Gaga kicked off her first Australian tour in eleven years last night (5 December), and Little Monsters in Melbourne were treated to a 31-song set.
Announced back in April, the tour marks the first time Gaga has performed in stadiums in Australia and launches a stadium run of The MAYHEM Ball shows that continues into 2026.
Performing in Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney (the Melbourne and Sydney dates consist of two shows in stadiums), the first night at Marvel Stadium stayed close to her Coachella headlining set, with a solid representation of MAYHEM tracks, plus fan favourites and enduring hits. And, of course, there was plenty of drama.
Melbourne fans were also treated to something quite special last night, with Gaga performing the unreleased track Brooklyn Nights.
First unearthed during the ARTPOP era in 2013, the Poker Face hitmaker performed the song for the first time in Melbourne in August 2014. At that point, she performed Brooklyn Nights completely a cappella, and last night she resurrected the track after 11 years and performed it on the piano.
You can check out the full setlist and footage from the first show below.
