Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong in 2026 for ‘The Mayhem Ball' Tour
Yeah, we had Coldplay take over the entire territories, the comeback of Nicholas Tse, and Mandopop king Jay Chou coming later this month, but let's be real – we're also still smarting over the fact that Singapore got both Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga but not us! However, the tide might be turning, as there are now rumours swirling that Lady Gaga could be coming to Hong Kong next year. Back in March, Mother Monster announced her upcoming eighth concert tour 'The Mayhem Ball' which is set to commence on July 16. The plan was for the concert to travel across North American, European, and Australian cities, but on June 10, Lady Gaga also announced five dates for Japan, running from January 21 to 29 in Osaka and Tokyo. The plot twist here is that the Lady Gaga news fan account @MayhemBallTour on X had previously already proclaimed on April 9 that the artist will have Tokyo dates. When asked for hints on the whole Asia leg of the tour, they posted emoji flags of Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong – so we're keeping our fingers crossed that we'll actually get Gaga in Kai Tak Stadium or AsiaWorld-Expo come 2026! Interestingly, Hong Kong singer Joey Yung went to Lady Gaga's recent 'The Art of Personal Chaos' concert in Singapore recently and posted on Instagram in Chinese that she 'hopes she'll be able to enjoy it again in Kai Tak'. These industry insiders know something we don't… If the online rumours are anything to go by, Lady Gaga might be putting on three Hong Kong shows in February 2026. Stay tuned for more information as we learn them!
