Lady Gaga Brisbane: Set Times, Setlist, And Everything You Need To Know

Lady Gaga is storming into Brisbane with The MAYHEM Ball, and Suncorp Stadium is gearing up for a night of sequins, sweat and pure pop theatre. Whether you’re a day-one Little Monster or just here for the nostalgia and noise, we’ve pulled together everything you need to know—from getting there and finding a feed to exactly what kind of chaos to expect when Mother Monster takes the stage.

When And Where Lady Gaga Is Performing In Brisbane

Lady Gaga lands in Brisbane for one massive stadium show on Tuesday 9 December 2025 at Suncorp Stadium. Gates open from 5pm, giving you plenty of time to get inside, grab a drink and settle in before things fire up. The show is expected to start from 7pm, but Gaga is an icon so doesn't conform to time. Previous shows have seen her hit the stage closer to 8pm so make sure you get there early just to be safe.

This marks Gaga’s first major Brisbane stadium show in years, combining big-ticket hits, high-concept visuals and the kind of stage production that makes stadium roofs nervous. Expect a crowd, expect a spectacle and expect to lose your voice halfway through.

What To Expect From The Setlist

The MAYHEM Ball is pure Gaga theatre—part pop show, part art installation, part intergalactic sermon. Here’s the kind of chaos you can expect:

• Bloody Mary, Judas and Scheiße — a dark, pulsing opener to set the tone

• Poker Face, Paparazzi and Alejandro — pure nostalgia, pure serotonin

• Born This Way, Million Reasons and Shallow — sing your heart out, Brisbane

• And the inevitable Bad Romance closer — a glitter-soaked explosion that’ll leave you emotionally dehydrated in the best way possible

In short: it’s high drama, high fashion and high voltage because when Gaga says mayhem, she means it.

Getting To Suncorp Stadium

If you’re thinking of driving, don’t. Parking restrictions are tight and traffic around the stadium moves slower than a stadium crowd trying to exit after the encore.

Your ticket includes free public transport on Queensland Rail and all Brisbane buses from midday, making trains and buses your best bet. Concert shuttles will run from the CBD (Ann Street Stop 7 and Stop 12) and several outer suburbs from 4:30pm (Carindale, Chermside, Eight Mile Plains, and The Gap), getting you close without the hassle.

Ride-share is doable if you're prepared to walk, as no drop-off zones willl be permitted near the venue. Wear shoes that won’t destroy you before the first chorus.

Where To Eat And Drink Nearby

Suncorp Stadium’s surrounding suburbs (Milton, Petrie Terrace and Paddington) are stacked with easy pre-show spots for a quick bite or drink.

Lefty’s Music Hall, Caxton Street
Red velvet, cocktails, and a slightly unhinged honky-tonk energy. Perfect for matching Gaga’s theatrical spirit.

The Lord Alfred, Petrie Terrace
A classic pub with solid food, plenty of seating and fast service on busy nights.

Normanby Hotel, Musgrave Road
An old-school favourite and a go-to for pre-stadium hangs. Easy, quick and close to the action.

Aim to wrap up your pre-show festivities around 6pm to beat the rush and slide into the stadium without stress.

What To Know Before The Show

The buzz around Suncorp starts early on concert days, so give yourself some buffer time to ease in. Merch lines can get long, so head straight there if you’ve got your eye on tour tees or limited-edition MAYHEM Ball pieces. If you're free earlier in the day, merchandise is available in the Caxton Street North Plaza from 12pm and the Milton Road South Plaza from 2pm. 

As for outfits: this is not the night for neutrals. This is a sanctioned opportunity to unleash sequins, leather, rhinestones, latex, neon and anything vaguely unhinged—as long as they don't impede anyone's view of Mother Monster. Make sure to keep your bag A3-sized or smaller to get through security smoothly and remember no umbrellas are allowed to be used inside the venue, so pack a poncho in case.
