Lady Gaga Plans ‘Wizard Of Oz' UK Tour

altLady Gaga says her upcoming UK tour will be inspired by The Wizard Of Oz. Speaking to the UK paper, The Daily Star, the superstar said:

“It’s more of a musical and less of a concert. It has a New York theme - it’s a story. The story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the Monster Ball and we get lost. It has got a kind of Wizard of Oz influence.”

 

Lady Gaga’s hints about the UK leg of her tour started back in December when she told MTV:

“I'm throwing out the stage. My team thinks I'm completely psychotic. But I don't f**king care what they think. Just to give you an idea, the stage is about four times the size of the one we're on now and conceptually, it's completely different.

“One thing that has been lost over the past 10-15 years, in pop music, is the idea of showbiz. And this is definitely going to bring that back."

The European leg of Lady GaGa's Monster Ball opens in Manchester on February 18.
