Lady Gaga's Weekend 1 performance at Coachella 2025, on April 11, marked the debut of her new live show, themed as "The Art of Personal Chaos," which she described as building an "opera house in the desert." The show heavily featured her new album, "Mayhem," released on March 7, 2025, and was divided into four acts.
The performance included a blend of new tracks and classic hits. Act I, "Of Velvet and Vice," featured songs like "Bloody Mary," "Abracadabra," "Judas," "Scheiße," "Garden Of Eden," and "Poker Face." The setlist also included "Perfect Celebrity," "Disease," "Paparazzi," "Alejandro," "The Beast," "Killah" (featuring Gesaffelstein), "Zombieboy," "Die With a Smile," "How Bad Do U Want Me?", "Shadow Of A Man," "Born This Way," "Shallow," and "Vanish Into You."
Gaga's Coachella performance served as a preview for her upcoming "Mayhem Ball" tour. The show incorporated elaborate sets, costumes, and choreography, creating a theatrical experience for the audience. The second Coachella Weekend performance on April 18, 2025, is expected to have a similar setlist.
