Lady Gaga to perform in South Africa later this year

The South African leg of the tour begins 30 November in Johannesburg.

Supporting Lady Gaga for the European and now South African leg of the Born This Way Ball is the newly reformed British rock band The Darkness, best known for their hit ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’, while Lady Gaga’s longtime performance partner and DJ, Lady Starlight, has been confirmed as a special guest.

The Born This Way Ball is Lady Gaga’s first tour since the release of her album Born This Way, which has sold nearly six-million copies worldwide since its release in May 2011. The album is the follow-up to back-to-back Grammy Award-winning albums The Fame Monster, and The Fame.
