INGLEWOOD (CNS) - Days after her headlining appearance at the Coachella festival, pop superstar Lady Gaga announced she is bringing her "Mayhem Ball" tour to the Los Angeles area for shows at Inglewood's Kia Forum in July and August.
Gaga will perform a four-night stint at the venue on July 28-29 and Aug. 1-2.
Several ticket presales begin on Thursday at noon, with the general on sale starting April 29 at noon at LiveNation.com.
Gaga is touring in support of her "Mayhem" album, which came out in March and entered the Billboard 200 album chart at No. 1.
Last Friday, a Lady Gaga headset mic malfunction, and her decision to power through it, won praise from fans at Coachella -- and online.
As her microphone started making crackling sounds before shutting down, Gaga kept singing -- and dancing -- to her hit "Abracadabra" while making a smooth transition to a handheld mic.
"I'm sorry my mic was broken for a second," she told the crowd later in her set. "At least you know I sing live. I guess all we can do is our best, and I'm certainly giving you my best tonight."
Social media quickly filled with mostly favorable reactions.
"I was watching it live while it happened, fan @nicholkola noted on Reddit. "... she's a professional so she just used a mic the rest of the song. By the time the entire set was done, I forgot about the issues. She gives her all in her performances."
