Lady Gaga kicks off 2013 North American tour in Vancouver

Lady Gaga has announced 26 new North American tour dates for her Born This Way Ball Tour in early 2013. The tour kicks off in Vancouver at Rogers Arena on January 11, 2013. Tickets for the Vancouver show go on sale this Friday, Sept 21.

Tickets are $49.50, $90 and $175 (plus FMF and service charges).

Madeon and Lady Starlight will open the tour.

The superstar is still touring in support of the 2011 album Born This Way. A release date for her next album, Artpop, has not yet been released. Lady Gaga has announced Artpop is “a multimedia experience that comes in different forms. The most major way to fully immerse yourself in ARTPOP is through the APP. ARTPOP will be released as an IPAD, iPhone, mobile and computer compatible application (WORLD) that is completely interactive with chats, films for every song, extra music, content, gaga inspired games, fashion updates, magazines, and more still in the works! I will also be able to upload new things to the APP all the time, the same way i upload to twitter and LM.com.”

Anyway, she goes on.
