Lady Gaga Announces 2013 North American Born This Way Ball Dates

Gosh, you’ve been such patient Little Monsters here in America! The tireless trek known as Lady Gaga‘s Born This Way Ball first began in April in South Korea, and it’s taken her five months to finally announce North American dates — the first of them, at least. But announce them, she has. Things kick off early next year, at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on January 11. From there Gaga will weave in and out of the US and Canada for two months, wrapping up this list of stops on March 13 at Miami’s American Airlines Arena. (Just in time for the release of her next album ARTPOP?)
