Fans are rejoicing as Lady Gaga returned to touring after almost four years. Recently, reports circulated online that Mother Monster's first Chromatica Ball show might have dethroned one of the biggest music acts that ever graced the venue where she performed.
According to NME, Lady Gaga's show at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany, was attended by a whopping 54,000 fans, making it the biggest single-show crowd at the famed venue.
The Grammy Award-winning pop star surpassed the previous record holder, Bon Jovi, when they performed at their "Have A Nice Day Tour" in 2006 in front of a sold-out audience of 43,625.
During Sunday night's show, the "Sine From Above" songstress graced fans with live vocals, new outfits, and a brand new stage design which left users online in awe.
Hours before taking the stage, Gaga went live on her Instagram account to explain the meaning behind the stage design, saying it was inspired by "brutalist architecture, materials, textures, crudity, and transparency."
As seen in photos taken by fans who attended the big event, the stage appears to have a bare concrete design similar to an abandoned building.
The Academy Award-winning singer said the architectural design resonates with how savage a person is and what they have been through in life.
A fan then pointed out the significance of brutalist design, saying it's a style that became notable after the wards and it's supposed to showcase "vulnerability & finding beauty in rawness after enduring truama."
During the show, Lady Gaga finally performed her biggest hits from the 2020 album "Chromatica" live for the first time.
Songs from the album include, "Alice," "Replay," "Babylon," "Free Woman," "Sour Candy" and "Enigma.
Some disappointed fans expressed their dismay online as Gaga left out a few songs from the album which they're excited to hear live.
The setlist did not include "Sine From Above," "1000 Doves" and "Fun Tonight." She also didn't perform any songs from her 2013 record "ARTPOP."
"sine from above literally being the central idea of chromatica i don't... understand how they didn't incorporate it into the set. contributes to the narrative 100000%," one fan wrote.
As of this writing, Lady Gaga didn't reveal why she decided to leave out the three songs mentioned above.
The "House of Gucci" star's next stop would be at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, on July 21.
