Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour Breaks Record for Debut Headlining Artist

Lady Gaga wraps her lengthy Monster Ball tour tomorrow night (May 6) in Mexico City, bringing to a close the biggest tour ever by a debut headlining artist.

Dating back to November of 2009, Lada Gaga's 200 reported Monster shows grossed $227.4 million and drew 2.5 million people, according to numbers reported to Billboard Boxscore. Depending on how several other tours shake out this year, Monster Ball is flirting with becoming one of the top 10 highest-grossing tours of all time.

"We're humbled by the tremendous success of the Monster Ball tour," Lady Gaga manager Troy Carter told Billboard.biz. "The reasonably priced tickets, coupled with a great live experience, led it to being a must-see event."
