It's becoming increasingly clear with every move they make that she was set on touring this year no matter what. With no stadium availability in Europe and the U.S. this summer for mini-residencies, she had to go with arenas instead.

 

In the few places where stadiums were available, she took them—fewer shows, bigger crowds, and, interestingly, aside from Mexico, they're also the farthest locations from her...

Oh dear, I've just realised that the "original mayhem ball tour idea" will be spread in the fanbase from now on 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Also Asia/Oceania/LATAM stadiums are much easier to book, unlike US/EU stadiums, she has to compete against so many b-listers in US/EU for these stadiums on top of sport events.

"I wasn't planning to tour this year after my shows in Singapore"

So she's essentially doing two different tours. Why aren't they all just "the mayhem ball" even if that wasn't the original plan?

We chose arenas this time to give me the opportunity to control the details of the show in a way you simply can't in stadiums*

Yeah, I'm a bit confused, because it wouldn't be the first time she's done stadiums during an arena tour. Maybe this time the stage/performance just aren't adaptable for stadium setups?

 

Still, that's odd—it looks pretty simple, just a single catwalk stage 

 

and even if it's a totally different stage, who cares? It should still be part of the tour imo

However I think this has some pros.

 

If Live Nation originally planned a stadium tour, they definitely gave Gaga budget for big stadium production, and she definitely thought the concept through already. Now, even though the arena is last minute booked, the production definitely isn't, so we can rest assured it won't be a half ass mess. Yes she probably has to scale back from the original stadium production to fit arena, but I think it will still be great.

Because the production probably is different, so logistically it can't be included.

Now if she just uses the same stage same setlist for these stadiums, she could include them into the tour, but she probably wants to give these stadium shows something different.

 

I think this is a good thing honestly, even though we know these stadium shows won't have big production, but at least it could be unique in its own way.

Honestly, I don't think it was booked last minute. The first reports of her scaling back to arenas surfaced before Disease was even released. But I agree with your point—she definitely had plenty of time and resources to put together a fantastic show for both stadiums and arenas

I mean the early report from billboard/insiders still suggested she wanted to do a Joanne style of mix, some stadiums and some arenas. But I think the decision of turning all US/EU shows into arenas definitely was made this year. They probably want to avoid the production mess of stadium/arena mix brings like Joanne did. I think this is a good decision overall, but sadly the demand is too high for her, it is what it is.

We can still count them together for stan war purposes anyway. The new TF+TFM sale battle.

Yeah that makes sense i guess. Maybe this little stadium stint was originally gonna be bigger and wasn't gonna be a full fledged tour. I hope she goes to a few more places that the mayhem ball isn't covering cos she's missing a lot of places this time.

Mayhem single DWAS is now the 10th biggest song of the decade globally and it will end the year being the 2nd. Curious if it could eventually usurp Blinding Lights and grab that #1 spot.

I hate that some of yall have let the OGHs get in your head with the whole 'DWAS is a Bruno song' nonsense 

 

16 years into her career she lands one of the biggest hits of the decade and potentially the biggest song on Spotify of all time and yet it's crickets

 

no one cares that the majority of Rihanna's biggest hits are collabs but trust liddos to let fagcels put an asterisk next to one of Gar's smashes
