Lady Gaga’s most recent album title “Mayhem” is fitting for the problems that took place during her weekend 2 set at Coachella.
The buzzy headliner experienced technical difficulties from the beginning of her second set at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 18 in Indio, California.
During Gaga’s very first song, “Bloody Mary,” her headset mic stopped working and she was discreetly handed a handheld mic before starting “Abracadabra.”
She performed all of the choreography for that song, as well as the difficult choreography for “Judas,” while holding a regular microphone. Later, with her signature humor, she offered an apology to fans: “I’m sorry my mic was broken for a second. At least you know I sing live.”
“Mayhem,” released March 7, marks the “Born This Way” singer’s seventh studio album, topping the Billboard 200 albums chart after its release. “Mayhem” closes out with her hit Bruno Mars duet “Die With a Smile.”
Among her legion of fans dubbed “Little Monsters,” the album is seen as a return to her edgy, electronic roots that defined the early years of her now-two decades long career.
After honing her acting skills with roles in “A Star is Born” and “Joker: Folie à Deux” and experimenting with a softer jazz sound alongside the late Tony Bennett for the 2021 joint album “Love for Sale,” the album offers longtime fans more of the signature club anthems that first made Gaga famous.
“This record was about celebrating bringing industrial music and grunge together, but also with these super-pop sensibilities and 2000s influences,” Gaga told USA TODAY in March.
Gaga’s Coachella performance is her first time headlining the festival since 2017 as she is set to embark on a tour this summer to support “Mayhem.”
The Mayhem Ball tour, set to begin in Las Vegas on July 16, marks Gaga’s first time taking her act on the road since 2022’s Chromatica Ball Tour.
