+ | '''The Born This Way Ball''' is the third [[Concert tour|concert tour]] by [[Lady Gaga]], in support of her third album ''[[Born This Way (album)|Born This Way]]'' ([[2011]]). The tour, lasting for 98 concerts, visited the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania. This marks Gaga's first tour to visit all the inhabited continents. |

| + | <div style="text-rendering: optimizelegibility;"> |
||
| + | The tour was officially announced on [[8 February|February 8]] of [[2012]] with the first set of dates in Asia and Oceania. The tour began in Seoul on [[27 April|April 27]], 2012 and ended on [[11 February|February 11]], [[2013]] in Montreal. Lady Gaga had a hip injury since December and after her performance in Montreal, she said on Twitter that she couldn't walk anymore. At first, she only canceled her tour dates in Chicago, Detroit, and Hamilton. But on [[13 February|February 13]], 2013 she had to cancel the rest of her tour due to the fact that her hip injury was getting worse. |

||
| + | |||
| + | The tour narrated "''the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame.''" Gaga plays the role of an alien fugitive from G.O.A.T., a Government Owned Alien Territory in space, which was introduced for the first time in the music video for "[[Born This Way (song)|Born This Way]]" in 2011. The show is set in and around a large medieval style castle, which rotates and maneuvers throughout the show. A classical score accompanies the show's interludes, tying in with the show's dark, operatic theme. |
||
| + | |||
| + | Fourteen different outfits are worn by Lady Gaga throughout the show, mostly designed by Italian fashion houses such as [[Versace]], [[Moschino]] and [[Armani]]. |

||
| + | The first hint about the tour was revealed by Gaga on stage during [[The Monster Ball]] on [[19 February|February 19]], 2011. At that point, she wanted to start the tour at the end of 2011. Interviewed by Fuse, she revealed her intention for the Born This Way Ball to be more of a continuation of the Monster Ball; however, the continuation concept was not used. {{More|The Born This Way Ball/Background}} |
||
| − | On May 27, 2011, Gaga spoke to Australia's Sunday Herald Sun about the tour stating "''the next tour I believe will be called the Born This Way Ball and that will be a much longer tour of Australia. Pink’s tour of Australia is truly inspiring. I don’t know if it will be that long but maybe if we’re lucky. It will be next year, at the top of next year. I think it’s really unfair that artists don’t bring their entire shows Down Under because it is quite expensive to cargo. But I don’t do this for the money. I do it for the thrill of music and theatre so I will be bringing my whole show with me.''"<br />On June 13, Gaga revealed further about the tour. |
||
| − | :"''I do have plans, it will be at the top of next year but I have to begin rehearsing by the end of this year. That's what I do. It's time for another marathon. If you're running a marathon, and you're about to cross the finish line, you don't stop and say, 'Oh, once I cross it, it's over.' You run as fast as you can to get there as quickly as you can. So I guess, for me, it's about how many marathons can I run? How many dreams can I make true? Now, not for me, but for my fans''" |

| − | ===Stage=== |
||
| − | On [[6 February|February 6]], [[2012]], Gaga tweeted that the central area within the stage will be known as "The Monster Pit", which is regulated to general admission fans who were the first to arrive. Every night, the Haus of Gaga will also choose fans from the Monster Pit to come backstage and meet Gaga. On [[Lady Gaga]]'s [[Official Website|official website]], the rules of eligibility for the Monster Pit were described in more detail.<br />On February 7 at midnight (EST), Gaga tweeted a sketch of the stage for the tour. |

Throughout the show, she is tracked by "[[Mother G.O.A.T.]]" until the final battle. For the outfits, Gaga asked both designers with whom she collaborated before as well as new ones. {{More|The Born This Way Ball/Development}} |

| − | ===Act I=== |
||
| − | ===="Space Intro"==== |
||
| − | |||
| − | The show begins on G.O.A.T., a Government Owned Alien Territory in space with a "space" inspired instrumental track. This is followed by the "Kingdom of Fame" castle lighting up with purple lights whilst fog covers the ground. After a couple of seconds, a marching beat kicks in and shortly after, the left door next to the outer gate open with seven soldiers walking onstage, four of them with G.O.A.T. flags and the remaining three with guns. The marching beats slowly evolve into the beats of "Highway Unicorn" (heard on 0:15 on the album version). They walk across the stage for a while before Gaga make her appearance on a mechanical unicorn with her hands on her back as she is a prisoner. She has an escort comprised of three guards coming from the same gate as before. The introduction last around 1:30 to 2 minutes. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Depending if the venue had a Monster Pit, the escort (and later the escort with Gaga) would walk across the catwalk surrounding the Monster Pit. On the dates without it, they would walk on the stage instead. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the first dates, the show began in pitch black with strobing white lights revealing temporarily part of the castle and the guards. This was replaced with purple lights on the castle and strobing purple lights projecting across the venue. From October 26, 2012, yellow and blue lights were added to the usual purple, changing colors according to the beats of the introduction. |

| − | ===="Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)"==== |
||
| − | |||
| − | "[[Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) (song)|Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)]]" then begins in a shortened version (about 2:10), starting after the first 25 seconds at "Run, run with her t-" until the full first chorus is performed then followed by the final verses of the song ("Get your hot rods ready to rumble"). Near the end, the escort and Gaga return inside of the castle. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the first dates, the song was performed with the same lights as the "Space" introduction. Depending of the use of a Monster Pit, the song would be performed on the stage or around the Monster Pit as explained before. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On the opening night, Gaga wore pants with the costume. |
||
| − | |||
| − | During her performance at the [[Armeets Arena]], boom lights were added. |

| − | ===="Operation: Kill the Bitch"==== |
||
| − | At the end of "[[Highway Unicorn (Road to Love) (song)|Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)]]" the sound of machine guns firing can be heard as Gaga escape behind the scenes. This is followed by a repeating beeping sound (sonar like) while moving spotlights are searching accross the castle for Gaga. On the first dates, Gaga was seen walking on the 2nd levels of the castle, hiding from the spotlights. The interlude ends with a pre-recorded dialogue from the main antagonist and narrator of the story, "[[Mother G.O.A.T.]]" : |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | <blockquote>"Initiating satellite. Space renagade Lady Gaga has escaped. Downloading image of prisoner. Alien fugitive objective: To birth a new race. Operation: Kill the bitch!"</blockquote> |
||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | |||
| − | At the starts of her speech, "Mother G.O.A.T." is a giant diamond shaped structure with pink neon lights on the edge of it. "Mother G.O.A.T." also has a skull projection in the middle as her "face". At the line "''Downloading image of prisoner''", the skull merges into Gaga's face with prosthetic horns. Her voice has a strong French accent and she speaks in a very slowly manner. She ends the interlude by taking a very low tone to say "''Kill the bitch!''". |

| − | ===="[[Government Hooker (song)|Government Hooker]]"==== |
||
| − | After the voice-over, Gaga is heard singing the opera-like opening vocals of "[[Government Hooker (song)|Government Hooker]]". She continues with the song while she goes down from the upper level of the castle while stopping occasionally to do slow sex movements. Before she reaches the floor, a dancer sits at a work desk that emerges from the floor. She mounts the desktop and continues her routine but this time for the President played by one of her male dancer. The song stops after the verse "''As long as you pay me'',", she opens the drawer of the desk to grab a gun and shoots the President. They resume briefly the song with a final verse ("I'm gonna drink my tears tonight,"). She then goes to the main gate of the castle and opens it by firing a shot directly at it. This is followed with Gaga saying "''Welcome to the Born This Way Ball''" before fleeing offstage. During the first show, only the blue lights were done. Starting from Hong Kong, the lights were half red and half blue. |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the first show, Gaga wore the original outfit with pants. From Hong Kong, she wore the original outfit with leggings on her arms and legs. |

||
| − | |||
| − | The song begins with an extended introduction of "[[Born This Way (song)|Born This Way]]" for 2 minutes. During that time, the castle opens up by rotating the front part (outer gate) which is comprised of two pieces that rotate on each side of the stage. A scene from the short film for "[[Haus Laboratories|Fame]]" is shown on the left side of the castle.Near the end of the musical interlude, a Gaga is heard and seen birthing a new race onstage while it's recovered of fog. This segment elvolved from using only two giant legs with black [[Christian Louboutin]] with the signature red sole to giant legs with part of her latex dress to the final version with the two legs, a giant belly with a zipper and a navel piercing with muscles painted on the props. They also added projection of footage from Steven Klein (for "Fame") with Gaga being shown behind the legs as it is her body. She then gave birth to the new race which is followed by "[[Born This Way (song)|Born This Way]]". All the dancers and Gaga are wearing translucent pale yellow latex outfits. The dancers' hair are recovered of a goo-ish texture like a new born baby. The choreography is the same as in the music video. Gaga, near the end of the song, walks into the castle while singing the last part. The dancers follow at the end of the song. The outfit's a sleeveless outfit, but had additional sleeves to cover her arms during April 27 and May 2 for unknown reasons.<gallery widths="80" orientation="landscape" spacing="small" bordercolor="#8e8e8e" captionalign="left" captionsize="small"> |

||
| − | A Spanish guitar intro plays, along with an opening of the castle. Dancing around a meat rack. Near the end, Gaga grabs her gun. During the performance, [[Lady Gaga]] appeared wearing a recreation of the [[Franc Fernandez]]'s [[Meat Dress]] she wore at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. On the [[Vogue (magazine)|September 2012 issue of Vogue]], Gaga recalled the creation of this performance art piece: |
||
| − | |||
| − | :: ''“We were talking about putting the show together, And I said, OK, what if I was someone’s grandma and I was going to a concert tonight. How would I know that it was a Gaga show? And we all just sort of looked at each other and said, ‘The meat dress.’ We talked a lot about the original intention, which was to create an outfit that is indicative of the fact that underneath all of our different skin colors and religions and beliefs, we are all made of flesh and bone. And then this instant image came to my mind, which was from the late seventies, of the woman being put into a meat grinder on the cover of [the June 1978] Hustler [cover], which really terrified me when I was a child. So I tried to spin all that into a space of humor and politics and sexuality onstage.”'' |
||
| − | |||
| − | They decided to use a giant meat grinder, quilted and with gold accents along with a meat rack inspired by the magazine cover and the quote from it : "We will no longer hang women up like pieces of meat." |
||
| − | |||
| − | Starting on [[20 June|June 20]], [[Ian McKenzie]] and [[Kevin Frey]] perform a marriage ceremony during the opening guitar riff. |

Lady Gaga then removes the skirt of her meat dress and the dress transforms into a meat leotard, and begins performing the original choreography in a meat leotard. At the end of the song, Gaga is lowered with the meat processing machine. |

Revision as of 08:44, 31 January 2021
The Born This Way Ball is the third concert tour by Lady Gaga, in support of her third album Born This Way (2011). The tour, lasting for 98 concerts, visited the Americas, Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania. This marks Gaga's first tour to visit all the inhabited continents.
The tour was officially announced on February 8 of 2012 with the first set of dates in Asia and Oceania. The tour began in Seoul on April 27, 2012 and ended on February 11, 2013 in Montreal. Lady Gaga had a hip injury since December and after her performance in Montreal, she said on Twitter that she couldn't walk anymore. At first, she only canceled her tour dates in Chicago, Detroit, and Hamilton. But on February 13, 2013 she had to cancel the rest of her tour due to the fact that her hip injury was getting worse.
The tour narrated "the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame." Gaga plays the role of an alien fugitive from G.O.A.T., a Government Owned Alien Territory in space, which was introduced for the first time in the music video for "Born This Way" in 2011. The show is set in and around a large medieval style castle, which rotates and maneuvers throughout the show. A classical score accompanies the show's interludes, tying in with the show's dark, operatic theme.
Fourteen different outfits are worn by Lady Gaga throughout the show, mostly designed by Italian fashion houses such as Versace, Moschino and Armani.
Background
The first hint about the tour was revealed by Gaga on stage during The Monster Ball on February 19, 2011. At that point, she wanted to start the tour at the end of 2011. Interviewed by Fuse, she revealed her intention for the Born This Way Ball to be more of a continuation of the Monster Ball; however, the continuation concept was not used.
Development
- “The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage, The Born This Way Ball 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.”
G.O.A.T. as first seen in Born This Way music video.
Gaga plays the role of an alien fugitive from G.O.A.T., a Government Owned Alien Territory in space which was introduced for the first time in the music video for "Born This Way" in 2011. Throughout the show, she is tracked by "Mother G.O.A.T." until the final battle. For the outfits, Gaga asked both designers with whom she collaborated before as well as new ones.
Stage
Sketch by Mark Fisher with Ric Lipson for for Stufish Entertainment
On February 6, 2012, Gaga tweeted that the central area within the stage will be known as "The Monster Pit", which is regulated to general admission fans who were the first to arrive. On February 7 at midnight (EST), Gaga tweeted a sketch of the stage for the tour.
The stage is modeled on a medieval Gothic castle featuring viewing towers, intricate carvings and a large catwalk allowing audience interaction. The stage and set have many capabilities and functions including 30 active windows and doors, each with a custom scenic painted roll drop which will reveal different scenes within the various rooms of the Castle, two swing walls which open to reveal the 50 foot tall castle behind it, 620 feet of custom LED lights and two sets of automated castle gates that open and close to a full 180 degrees.
Poster and film project
- Related article: Terry Richardson
A promotional poster of the tour was released on February 7, 2012, which features Gaga's face hovering over dark clouds looking down from the sky, and includes touches of neon purple and turquoise coloring. She is also fused into a keytar, standing near her dancers in front of a medieval castle. In February 2012, a promotional image for the tour was released; she is wrapped in plastic outside the gates of the Electric Chapel.
Pleased with their collaboration from 2010 to 2011, Lady Gaga and Terry Richardson teamed up again to document the making of the tour, the tour itself, and her life during it. Richardson was both seen recording footage and taking photographs, which some of the later were released on his Tumblr and Little Monsters page.
Skype partnership
- Related article: Skype
Skype established a partnership with Gaga and officially joined the tour in Estonia on August 25, 2012. Since then, they are interviewing fans and taking footage of her performances in Europe and South and North America. The exclusive content and behind-the-scenes clips are expected through Skype Ball.
Show
Tickets + tour package
Depending on the venue, different types of tickets are available but include type possibility: standing also known as General Admission (GA) and seated (these tickets usually have a section name or letter with a row number). Only the general admission tickets are eligible to be part of the Monster Pit.
For the tour, Live Nation created three packages with a different seating or General Admission option. Each package comes with a Lady Gaga merchandise item, a collectible laminate, and onsite VIP host.
Monster pit
Gold necklace with a skull with Gaga's features.
The Monster Pit refers to a limited number of place area located in the general admission (floor) of select dates of the tour.
The first person in line for the Monster Pit is awarded a key, which symbolically opens the Monster Pit for each date. They are called the "Holders of the Monster Pit key".
After each show, Gaga's team uploads a picture with the holder on Little Monsters, who are all meant to sign them on their respective keys. On dates with venues that are too small for the Monster Pit, the first person on the General Admissions line is awarded the key.
Dates
In April of 2012, Gaga revealed on Twitter that the tour would last 110 shows. However, an extra nine dates were added. This marks Gaga's first world tour in all to visit every continent, except Antarctica.
In the first few weeks, the tour was met with controversy in some religiously strict countries. This lead to the cancelation of the scheduled show on June 3, 2012 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadiumin in Jakarta, Indonesia.
Following a hip injury in 2013, Gaga canceled the 21 final shows of the tour, with the last performance in Montreal on February 11. The show ended with 98 dates performed out of the 119 planned.
Opening acts
Depending of the leg, different opening acts opened the show, each performing a 15 to 30 minute set.

| Zedd | April 27 to May 31, 2012 |
