The Monster Ball Tour is the second concert tour by American recording artist Lady Gaga in support of her third extended play, The Fame Monster. The tour was officially announced on October 15, 2009, after her joint concert tour with rapper Kanye West, titled Fame Kills, was suddenly canceled.
Described by Gaga as “the first-ever ‘pop electro opera’”, The Monster Ball began four days after the release of The Fame Monster. Rapper Kid Cudi and singer Jason Derülo were the supporting act for the first North American leg of the tour, while the band Alphabeat supported the UK stop of the tour. Other opening acts included Far East Movement and the Scissor Sisters. Virgin Mobile USA and Virgin Mobile Canada are the official sponsors of the American and Canadian legs of the tour, respectively. Gaga’s production team, Haus of Gaga, designed the poster and the stage of the concert, including a giant contraption called “The Orbit”.
Gaga and her production team developed a stage that looks like a frame with forced perspectives and everything for the show fitted within it. She felt that the design would allow her creative control. Since the album dealt with the paranoias faced by Gaga over the year, the main theme of the show became evolution, with Gaga portraying growth as the show progressed. She compared the setting of the stage with that of a hollowed-out television set. Elements of the cancelled tour with Kanye West were incorporated in some parts.
The set list of the tour consisted of songs from The Fame Monster as well as her debut album The Fame. For the 2010 shows, Gaga felt that a revamp of the show was needed as the original tour was constructed in a
very short span of time. The revamped shows has a New York theme, and portrays a story where Gaga and her friends are in New York and get lost while going to the Monster Ball.
The show was divided into five segments with the last one being the encore. Each segment featured Gaga in a new dress and was followed by a video interlude, portraying Gaga in Gothic and artsy poses, to the next one.
The show began with Gaga appearing from behind an electric maze of lights. It continued with acoustic piano playing, dancing in costumes made of guns, Cleopatra style head gears and fairy-tale Rapunzel style hair.
Contemporary critics praised the show, commending Gaga’s singing abilities and sense of style and fashion. They were also impressed by the pompousness and the theatricality of the show, comparing it to the tours of
artists like Madonna.”
