from CaptialFM:

 

Marry The Night’ star confirms details of gigs in London and Manchester as part of European dates.

 

Lady Gaga has announced two UK dates as part of her ‘Born This Way Ball’ world tour.

The gigs, at London’s Twickenham Stadium on 8th September and Manchester Arena on 11th September, will mark the ‘Marry The Night’ star’s biggest ever shows in Britain.

They form part of the European leg of the ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour, which kicks off in Bulgaria on 14th August and includes a show at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on 15th September. The European dates are currently set to conclude in Barcelona, Spain on 6th October.

Support at all of the European shows, including those in the UK, will come from The Darkness and Lady Starlight.

Speaking about her ‘Born This Way Ball’ UK tour dates, Lady Gaga said: “The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage.

“The ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.”

The gigs will mark the first time Lady Gaga has toured in support of her full-length second album, ‘Born This Way’.

Ticket prices will range from £50-£80 for London and £60-£80 for Manchester.

Lady Gaga’s UK and Ireland ‘Born This Way Ball’ tour dates are:

London, Twickenham Stadium – 8th September
Manchester, Arena – 11th September
Dublin, Aviva Stadium – 15th September
