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

Alright, Little Monsters, it’s time to dust off your disco sticks and polish your platform boots because Lady Gaga is coming back to Sydney, and she’s doing it in full spectacle mode. The MAYHEM Ball Tour lands at Accor Stadium this December, and yes, it’s going to be an absolute fever dream of lights, latex, and legendary vocals.

This isn’t your average concert; it’s a spiritual experience led by the patron saint of pop herself. Whether you’ve been belting "Born This Way" since high school or you just discovered "Bloody Mary" thanks to Wednesday on Netflix, one thing’s for sure: Gaga’s Sydney takeover is about to be pure chaos, couture, and catharsis.

When And Where It’s All Going Down

Circle Friday 12 December 2025 in red lipstick (and maybe glitter pen for good measure) because that’s when Gaga will make her grand entrance at Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park. And if you miss out on night one? Don’t worry, she’s back again for a second show on Saturday 13 December.

Doors are expected to swing open from around 6pm, with Gaga taking the stage at roughly 7.30pm. But take it from us, you’ll want to rock up early. The crowds will be massive, the vibes will be electric, and there’s no such thing as being fashionably late when it comes to Mother Monster.

This tour marks Gaga’s first Aussie stadium show in years, and word on the street is she’s pulling out all the stops. Think elaborate visuals, outrageous costume changes, and enough pyro to make Vivid Sydney jealous.

What To Expect From The Setlist

If her recent shows are anything to go by, the MAYHEM Ball is a journey and you’re going to want to buckle up. Gaga’s serving a full discography flex: deep cuts for the diehards, bangers for the masses, and a few surprises for the chaos lovers in the back.

Expect a mix of:

• "Bloody Mary", "Judas", and "Scheiße" – dark, industrial Gaga energy to start the night off hot
• "Poker Face", "Paparazzi", and "Alejandro" – that golden-era nostalgia we all secretly crave
• "Born This Way", "Million Reasons", and "Shallow" – stadium-sized singalongs incoming
• And, of course, the one-two punch of "Bad Romance" and new album closer "How Bad Do U Want Me" – a finale so explosive it could power the Harbour Bridge

Getting To Accor Stadium

Accor Stadium is huge (like, 80,000 screaming fans huge), so plan your journey unless you want your pre-show excitement replaced by mild transport panic.

Your best bet? Public transport.

• Train: The fastest way in. Hop a train to Olympic Park Station, with direct services running from the CBD and major hubs every few minutes.
• Bus: Routes like the 526 will get you close, and extra services usually run on big show nights.
• Car: Sure, you can drive, but parking fills up fast and traffic post-show is glacial. If you’re determined, pre-book parking via the Sydney Olympic Park website.

Pro tip: Arrive early, grab a bite or a drink nearby, and join the sea of sequins making their pilgrimage to Gaga. Also, bags larger than A4 size aren’t allowed, so keep it light.

What Time To Rock Up

Doors open around 6pm, and Gaga’s expected on stage by 7.30pm. If there’s an opener, expect things to wrap around 10pm, but let’s be honest, with Gaga, time doesn’t really exist. There will be costume changes. There will be monologues. There will be tears.

Where To Stay

If you’re heading to Sydney for Lady Gaga’s concert and want a stay that’s just as show-stopping as Mother Monster herself, you’ll want to lock in one of the city’s dreamiest Airbnbs. Think sun-drenched Surry Hills terraces steps from the light rail, CBD sky-high studios where you can belt the entire Chromatica album without disturbing a soul, and coastal pads in Bondi for a pre-show dip and post-show wind-down. We’ve rounded up the ultimate Sydney stays to level up your concert weekend—check out our full guide to the best Airbnbs in Sydney here.

Final Tips For The Ultimate Gaga Night

• Dress for the drama: There are no rules, only rhinestones.
• Stay hydrated: Champagne counts (kinda).
• Plan your exit: Trains will be packed post-show, so maybe linger for a bit and let the crowd thin.
• Layer up: It can get chilly once the sun goes down.
• Live in the moment: You’re about to witness one of the greatest performers on earth so don’t waste it all filming through your camera roll.
