Just when we thought Lady Gaga was focusing her entire year on activities related to “Joker: Folie à Deux,” she surprised her fans by releasing a professionally recorded version of her “Chromatica Ball Tour” on Max, which is now available for streaming worldwide.

Those who have already watched it know that the production is just the beginning of something much greater. At the end, the screen flickers a few times, revealing not only Lady Gaga’s return to the recording studio but also the result of it: The LG7 album, which already has a speculated release date.

Although she has been teasing it for a while, it’s certainly thrilling to see her confirm that it will be in our hands soon. But now, the question everyone is asking about her comeback is: Will she hit the world stages as she did in 2012?

Latest updates on Lady Gaga’s potential 2024 tour

There’s one thing that’s certain: Lady Gaga won’t tour this year. Organizing such a high number of concerts would require months of planning, and we would have heard something about it by now if she were planning to tour in the rest of 2024.

But there’s a more significant reason for her not touring worldwide beyond the logistical challenges. She needs to focus on promoting “Joker: Folie a Deux,” set to premiere in a few months.

Some fans have speculated about the possibility of her returning to stages outside the US after finishing these promotions, but they overlook a crucial fact. Until the Oscars are over in March 2025, Lady Gaga may not want to or be able to focus on other projects.

Entertainment companies often have actors and actresses sign exclusivity contracts, requiring them to be available 24/7 to promote their projects. This is likely the case for Lady Gaga, who is known to be one of the busiest stars with endeavors ranging from House Labs to her Las Vegas Residency, scheduled between June 19 and July 6.

In addition to these issues, it’s important to note that Lady Gaga may not be able to tour worldwide for months like she did a decade ago due to the health challenges fibromyalgia poses for her. Nevertheless, given her repeated statements about missing the countries she visited in 2013, Little Monsters shouldn’t lose hope.
