The Monster Pit on 17 shows was not used because of safety and space issues.

  • 80 shows accross Asia, Oceania, Europe, North and South America, Africa and Europe in 2012.
  • 18 shows in North America accross Canada and United States in 2013. Initiallly, 39 shows were planned.

After roughly each three consecutive months on tour, a break was scheduled lasting between a week to a full month.

Announcement

The first and second legs for the Born This Way Ball were announced the following day, revealing that Gaga would perform concerts in countries such as South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore.Additional dates as part of the Australasia leg were added on February 15, 2012.

In the first few weeks, the tour was met with controversy in some religiously strict countries. This lead to the cancellation of the scheduled show on June 3, 2012 at Gelora Bung Karno Stadiumin in Jakarta, Indonesia.

Dates for Latin America were announced on August 6, 2012 via Twitter. There were two dates in North America and four in South America, with more to be added.
