Little Monsters, rejoice. It’s been three years since Lady Gaga was in the UK for the Chromatica Ball, but she’s back. We can’t wait to hear the Mayhem's huge dance anthems like Abracadabra and Shadow of a Man live, and don’t get us started on the true pop vibes of How Bad Do U Want Me – especially after hearing it performed at Coachella and to two million people on the beach in Rio de Janeiro. It would be rude not to plan a Killah look when she’s put so much work into the show, right? We’ve put together 5 MAYHEM Ball tour outfit ideas depending on your favourite song from the album. Scroll for major inspo.

IF YOUR FAVOURITE SONG IS ZOMBIEBOY:

8 Other Reasons layered necklace with cross pendant in gold, £35

Topshop co-ord embellished lace maxi skirt in black with burg sequins, £65

After announcing she’s going to be starring in series 2 of Wednesday alongside Jenna Ortega, it’s only right to go full gothic glamour, especially if your favourite song is Zombieboy. Tap into the aesthetic with rose motifs, a dark colour palette, stacked cross necklaces and Mayhem’s signature black hair – whether it’s a wig or you choose to really commit with dye.

IF YOUR FAVOURITE SONG IS HOW BAD DO U WANT ME:

River Island bejwelled super distressed straight leg jean in lightwash blue, £70

ASOS DESIGN baby tee with hotfix heart and wings graphic in black, £20

This is about as pop princess as we’ll see Gaga, and with catchy lyrics you want to belt out every time, it’s no wonder How Bad Do U Want Me has become a fan fave. Go literal with this one if you want an easy outfit option – think ripped jeans, a baby tee with some relevant graphics and maybe a temporary tattoo (unless you’ve got the real ones already, of course).

IF YOUR FAVOURITE SONG IS ABRACADABRA:

Missyempire off shoulder twist leather look top in burgundy, £28

ASOS DESIGN faux leather studded trouser in black, £55

Arguably the most iconic song on the album, Abracadabra is a true anthem, so Club Kid-inspired looks are a must if this is the track you’ve been blasting on repeat. Make like the music video and opt for latex-like textures, a red, black and white colour palette, studded leather, the list goes on… Oh, and if you have a wide-brimmed hat – perfect.

IF YOUR FAVOURITE SONG IS DIE WITH A SMILE:

Reclaimed Vintage neckerchief in red paisley print, £9.99

Liquor N Poker studded stitch detail baggy co-ord jean in indigo, £50

Now if you’ve been to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour and you want to reuse your outfit, you can. The Die With A Smile music video channels the western feel of Joanne, but with more denim, a red neckerchief and big hair. Opt for a double-denim look and get a blowout before the concert for the full effect.

IF YOUR FAVOURITE SONG IS DISEASE:

Reclaimed Vintage high neck capped sleeve top in gothic blur print, £19.99

Dr Martens Jetta hi max zip boots in black leather, £240

The first release from Mayhem, Disease set the aesthetic for the album as gothic and grungey. Channel the vibe with worn denim, dystopian-feeling separates and chunky boots, then go all-out on the glam with metallic everything, a deep red lip, and – if you want to go full Lady Gaga – bleached brows.
