Lady Gaga Announces "Monster Ball" Tour with Kid Cudi, Reissues Two-Disc Version of <i>The Fame</i>

BY Josiah HughesPublished Oct 16, 2009

With her anticipated "Fame Kills" tour with Kanye West now cancelled, bizarre pop sensation Lady Gaga has decided to launch a tour without him. Now called "The Monster Ball," Gaga's series of live dates will cover a lot of ground over the winter months.

According to a press release, the tour will be a "multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever 'pop electro opera.'" If you've seen any of her TV appearances, it's more than likely that the "pop electro opera" will include fake blood, improvised piano solos and an array of weird, non-functional outfits.

The tour includes a number of Canadian dates, including stops in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa and two shows in Vancouver. Instead of Kanye, Gaga has enlisted Cleveland space rapper Kid Cudi to support on all dates.

Also, right before the tour kicks off, Gaga will release an expanded version of her debut album, The Fame. The two-disc record includes a wealth of rarities and B-sides.
