Tour Notes:

Lady Gaga’s 2017-2018 world tour, in support of her fifth studio album, Joanne, ran from Aug. 1 to Dec. 18 in North America and continues from Jan. 14-Feb. 23 in Europe. As with previous tours, Lady Gaga puts a big priority on moving around the performance space and interacting with the audience, with automated staging elements that morph and change during the course of the show. In addition to the 85-foot-wide main stage, there are two satellite stages, a B-stage and, when she’s not seated in front of her elaborate piano, lots of choreographed movement (and the resulting complexities posed to the audio crew) throughout the show.
