Revealed! Why Lady Gaga Won’t Be Performing in Indonesia
Light House Denver – Lady Gaga officially kicked off her Asia concert with a debut performance at Singapore’s National Stadium on Saturday, May 18, 2025. Interestingly, Singapore is the only Asian country included in the tour, meaning there will be no concerts in Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, or any other Asian nations.
According to The Straits Times, the Grammy-winning singer delivered a two-hour theatrical show divided into five acts. The concert featured dozens of hit songs, iconic costumes, high-energy choreography, and dazzling visuals. This performance is part of the buildup to her Mayhem Ball World Tour, which is set to officially begin in July.

During her performance, Lady Gaga proudly waved the Singaporean flag and referred to her fans in the country as “very special.” This gesture is in line with her tradition of honoring host nations, something she has also done during her concerts in Brazil and Mexico.
The decision to hold the only Asia show in Singapore has sparked discussion, especially among Southeast Asian countries. Many have questioned why Singapore consistently secures performances by top global artists. According to National Thailand, the answer lies in Singapore’s robust infrastructure and long-term strategic planning.
With a 60,000-seat stadium equipped with cutting-edge technology, Changi Airport as a major regional hub, and professional event management by Kallang Alive Sport Management (KASM) along with global promoter Live Nation, Singapore presents itself as an ideal destination for international performers.
While Travel Weekly Asia reported some critics calling Singapore’s concert exclusivity “selfish,” others viewed it as a visionary move. The strategy aims to boost tourism and solidify Singapore’s status as a regional cultural hub. For instance, analysts estimated that Taylor Swift’s concert alone would generate tourism revenue between S$350 million and S$500 million.
Despite the limited location, Lady Gaga’s fans across Asia showed overwhelming enthusiasm. Tickets for all four concert dates in Singapore sold out quickly. Thousands of fans from Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and beyond were willing to travel just to witness the pop icon live on stage.
Lady Gaga’s next performances in Singapore are scheduled for May 21 and 24, 2025. Following these shows, the Mayhem Ball World Tour will continue across Europe, Australia, and the United States. Indonesia won’t host a show this time. However, Little Monsters can still share in the excitement through online updates and global concert coverage.
