Lady Gaga concert chronology

ArtRave: The Artpop Ball (stylized as artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball) is the fourth concert tour by American recording artist Lady Gaga, in support of her third studio album, Artpop (2013). It has scheduled dates in North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia and started on May 4, 2014, at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The tour took its concept from the ArtRave event organized by Gaga for promoting Artpop, and would visit cities where she had cancelled dates of her Born This Way Ball tour, due to undergoing a hip surgery. Previous to the start of ArtRave: The Artpop Ball, Gaga held a seven day residency show at Roseland Ballroom in New York and also performed at the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival at Austin, Texas.

The stage for the tour was reminiscent of a white cave and consisted of two sections, with catwalks connecting them through the audience area. It was made of lucite which rendered them translucent, and enabled the crowd to dance underneath it while still being able to watch the show. Gaga developed a number of unique costumes for the tour, including one with tentacles, one with bejeweled wings attached to it, a rave inspired outfit and also one where she wore a necklace made of marijuana leaves.

Gaga partnered with British mobile network O2 in the UK and Absolut Vodka in the US for promoting the tour. Tickets for multiple shows sold out immediately once available, prompting the singer to add more dates continuously. Her performances at Roseland further spiked interest in the tour. Negative reports about the commercial aspects of the tour were dismissed by Live Nation's Chairman, Arthur Fogel.

Background

While releasing her third studio album Artpop, Gaga held a private event in New York known as ArtRave, where she performed songs from the album and showcased art pieces. Later she took the concept of ArtRave and created ArtRave: The Artpop Ball tour.[1] After abruptly cancelling the North American leg of her previous Born This Way Ball tour due to a major hip injury, the tour began with its first leg in the United States on May 4, 2014, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.[2] Prior to the beginning of the tour, Gaga headlined six shows (March 28, 30, 31 and April 2, 4 and 6) at the Roseland Ballroom, New York City, and these shows were the final performances at the venue. Additionally a seventh show was added, which was held on April 7 and officially closed the venue.[3] ArtRave: The Artpop Ball will see the singer visiting several cities, where she canceled tour dates earlier this year in order to undergo the surgery, as well as playing new cities.[1]

Gaga also held a one-off concert for ArtRave: The Artpop Ball inside a six-storey vending machine at Doritos' annual South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival at Austin, Texas. The city's Music and Entertainment division had initially denied permission to Gaga for playing inside the venue citing that it was for "public safety concerns". Don Pitts from the division said that the venue being in close proximity with a parking lot was the reason they had to cancel Gaga's application.[4] On March 6, 2014, it was announced that Gaga would indeed play at the venue. Tickets were sold to the fans through different competitions and challenges. Randal Lane from Forbes reported that the concert would support Gaga's Born This Way Foundation and charity events, but nevertheless opined that "the way they're doling out the tickets is still crass".[5][6][7] The concert was criticized when artist Millie Brown vomitted a green liquid over Gaga during the performance of "Swine" from Artpop. It received complaints that the performance "glamorized" eating disorders.[8] In response to the controversy, Brown told MTV News: "I can understand why people would make that association, but my performance is really not a statement about eating disorders themselves."[9] Gaga herself told Today "Millie and I know that not everybody's going to love that performance, but we both really believe in artistic expression and strong identities, and I support her and what she does. Artpop, my new album, is about bringing art and music together in the spirit of creative rebellion, and for us, that performance was art in its purest form."[10]

Development

For the tour, Gaga told Capital FM that she wanted something other than the "Monster Pit" arrangement she previously had in the Born This Way Ball tour, since she was always limited to performing on one portion of the arena. Hence Gaga and her team thought of building two stages, one main stage and an accompanying one on the far end of the arena. It would be enhanced by the addition of a catwalk which would wind all around the arena floor, enabling the singer to interact with the audience.[11] In March 2014, Gaga tweeted a picture of the stage which showed a runway extending from the main platform up to the general admission seats and then bifurcating into two additional runways, ending in small stages within the audience. At the end of the first runway, another platform was constructed which descended into the crowd directly. Gaga noted that the runways would be made of lucite rendering them translucent, so that the crowd can dance underneath it while still being able to watch the show. The main stage was described as a white cave, reminiscent of Atlantica from the 1989 Disney film The Little Mermaid, and featured a digital backdrop showing stars and the moon.[12][13] There was also a bar where the audience could order drinks while watching the show.[14] Carl Williot from Idolator website compared the stage with that of ArtRave, and felt that it looked like an "insect" with the extended runway and smaller stages.[15] Following the reveal of the image, the hashtag #LadyGagaTourStage started trending globally in Twitter.[16]

Gaga did not preview the costumes for the tour until the opening night. There were seven dresses created for the show, all throughout the different segments. The first was a bejeweled leotard which had the Jeff Koons blue gazing ball attached in the middle; the ball was previously used in the album cover art for Artpop. Gaga accesorized the dress with a pair of feathered wings while wearing a blond bob wig reminiscent of her looks from The Fame era.[17][18] A rave inspired outfit was worn for the last segment and consisted of colorful dreadlocks and legwarmers made of fur. She added a shirt consisting of straps and plastic sleeves with it. One of the complex outfits was made of latex and consisted of a polka dotted leotard and a number of tentacles attached to the dress as well as a headpiece with two tentacles from it. Daniel Welsh from The Huffington Post compared it to the sea-witch Ursula from Disney's 1989 film, The Little Mermaid.[17][18] The singer also wore short dress coupled with a platinum bob wig; another version of the dress had a gown attached to it, with Gaga wearing a long wig inspired by Donatella Versace. Before the final performance Gaga wears black latex pants and a top, with a green wig on her head and a necklace made of marijuana leaves. Finally, Gaga also wore a seashell bikini top and voluminous wig; the ensemble had been worn by Gaga in previous live performances for the Artpop era.[17]

Commercial reception

The tickets were first available to members of Gaga's social network website, Littlemonsters.com. They were provided with a unique code for ordering tickets from online, but were limited to four tickets per member. According to Live Nation, the first batch of tickets for the tour went on sale from December 9, 2013, and sell-out shows were reported from Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Los Angeles and Edmonton within hours. This led to two new dates being added to the itinerary: June 26 at Milwaukee's Marcus Amphitheater, and June 28 at Atlantic City's Boardwalk Hall.[19] On January 29, 2014, Gaga released the dates for the European leg of the tour, which would begin September 23, 2014, from Belgium.[20] The singer partnered with British mobile network O2, for a deal which would enable the company's customers to avail tickets for the tour three days prior to the general release. The deal included Gaga being featured in a new advertisement, for promoting the UK leg of the tour and showed her wearing a dress with large, glittering shoulder pads while running towards a concert stage.[21] This was the second time Gaga partnered with O2, first in November 2013, for exclusive access to the tracks from Artpop, ahead of its UK release.[20] Upon release, Ticketmaster reported that the UK venues completely sold out within five minutes, prompting the singer to add another two dates in London.[22][23] In April 2014, she released more floor tickets for sale, after ensuring larger crowd capacity for all the UK venues.[24] Four dates were added in Australia, starting from August 20, 2014, at Perth.[25]

For the US dates, Gaga partnered with Absolut Vodka, who transformed the bar adjacent to the stage into a lounge called "Absolut Artpop Lounge", where some of the lucky fans could watch the show, while ordering cocktails of their choice. Two fans would be chosen on the spot to have seats at the bar; tickets could also be won through a contest at the Absolut website. Gaga explained that with the help of Absolut she could "[create] a special experience where fans can actually sit inside the stage and have their own bar. It's going to be a huge rave in the spirit of art and creativity." Other promotions announced at the website included winning an all-expense-paid trip to see Gaga's show on September 30 at Stockholm, Sweden, and Gaga-inspired runway shows at LGBT bars across the nation, from where another set of tickets could be won.[14]

An article in Forbes magazine spoke about the commendable ticket pricing ensued by Live Nation for the tour. Jesse Lawrence from the magazine noticed how the ticket prices were lowered to an average of $68 in Gaga's primary markets and ensuing fast sell-outs, compared to those of her contemporaries, like Miley Cyrus' Bangerz Tour which had an average ticket price at $86. Conversely, the average price was raised to as high as $269 in Gaga's secondary markets, although with fewer tickets available than Cyrus' tour. This again ensued that the revenue was earned with profit. Lawrence concluded by saying that "Lady Gaga's pricing, seems to be taking a longer-term view and is focused on providing access to as many of her fans as possible as opposed to wringing out every last dollar on the current tour."[26] In April 2014, Lawrence reported that following Gaga's performance at Roseland Ballroom, the tour ticket prices in the secondary markets went up by 5.3%, with major increases being visible at Philips Arena in Atlanta. Tickets at Madison Square Garden rose up to $338.81, which was 42.6% higher than the average price. Other locations where ticket prices saw an increase were MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, TD Garden Arena in Boston and United Center in Chicago. A higher price was set for the first of two nights at Staples Center in Los Angeles, resulting in one of the costliest tickets in the show. The pricing was leveled off for the second night and they gradually decreased with the tour's progress.[27]

Reports arose in the media that the ticket sales for the tour were falling, leading Arthur Fogel, Chairman of Live Nation's Global Touring division, to brand them as "ridiculous". He clarified to Billboard that the about 80% of the tickets were sold in North America and Europe, and they were still in the process of releasing future dates for numerous venues. The 29 shows in North America had grossed around US $26 million, with an average of almost $900,000 per show. Fogel also addressed concerns that Live Nation had lost $30 million from Gaga's tour, saying that if a similar situation really happened, then the company would have cancelled the concerts. "I just don't know how this shit gets any traction without people doing their homework... Just a complete fool would say something like that and it could only come from somebody who has an agenda, because it makes absolutely no sense, on any level", Fogel concluded.[28] A total of 750,000 tickets have been sold for the tour, as reported by Digital Spy.[24]

Critical response

John Walker from MTV News reviewed the opening concert in Fort Lauderdale, and was impressed with the show. He particularly liked the segment, when after the performance of "Alejandro", Gaga decided to change her costume onstage and did so with the help of her stylists. Walker added that "to prove this, [Gaga] ripped the green, shoulder-length wig right off of her head. Yes, she literally snatched her own wig. Reverse Warholian expedition says what?"[29] Walker further emphasized in another review for MTV that the tour expanded on Gaga's characteristic "fan-to-artist" connections and theatrics she had developed with the Born This Way Ball.[30] Melissa Ruggieri from The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reviewed the show at Philips Arena. She gave positive feedback on the whole show, considering Gaga's camaraderie with her fans and the audience as honest and a highlight. Ruggieri complimented Gaga's vocals and the performances of her previous hit singles, which she believed paled the songs from Artpop.[31] Adam Carlson from Billboard praised the show saying that it turned the "spectacle" into a "surprise". He complimented the choreography and the constant costume changes, explaining that "talking about [Gaga's] performances is more fun than listening to them, but don't take that as an insult. There's just a lot to talk about."[32] Scott Mervis of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette believed that the actual "rave" of the tour started with Gaga's performances of "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" and the acoustic interpretation of "Born This Way", at Consol Energy Center.[33]

Notes
  • During the opening performance in Fort Lauderdale, Gaga premiered the track "Partynauseous", on which she had collaborated with rapper Kendrick Lamar in August 2012, while on the Born This Way Ball in Indonesia. However, the track was never released due to management issues between Gaga and Lamar. The song was used as a musical interlude in the show, between "Telephone" and "Paparazzi".[35]
