Apple Music is inviting all of Lady Gaga’s Little Monsters to the final chapter of her Mayhem era with “Apple Music Live: Lady Gaga Mayhem Requiem.”
Lady Gaga has teamed up with Apple Music for a special recorded live performance, “Apple Music Live: Lady Gaga Mayhem Requiem.” The show was filmed live in January at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles’ Koreatown, and will drop on the music streaming platform and at 15 AMC theater locations around the U.S. on May 14 at 8 PM PT.
In a unique move, Apple Music will allow non-subscribers to watch the “Mayhem Requiem” stream at the time of the premiere. The full performance and live album, produced with Apple’s spatial audio technology, can also be streamed on-demand on the platform for subscribers.
Following a year of Mayhem’s opulent theatricality, Lady Gaga has re-imagined the album for an intimate, one-night-only performance filmed live earlier this year. When the artist set off on The Mayhem Ball tour, an international tour in support of her seventh studio album, Mayhem, she traveled the globe with her own opera house in tow.
Executive produced by Gaga and Michael Polansky, the tour combined large-scale staging, narrative-driven elements, and couture-inspired fashion, with a storyline that explored themes of duality, death, and rebirth.
For Apple Music Live, Gaga has reimagined Mayhem as the phantom of her own gothic opera, spending most of the intimate evening at the piano or synths. There, she helms reimagined arrangements of “Abracadabra,” “Disease,” and the rest of its tracklist among the cracked columns and scattered ruins of the Mayhem Ball facade.
Fans can register for free to get tickets for one of the 5 one-night-only screenings on May 14 at 8 PM PT. The event will be screened in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa, and Washington, D.C.
As an added bonus, fans can identify any song by Lady Gaga with the Shazam app to unlock themed wallpapers and Apple Watch faces, view performance photos, and more on the “Apple Music Live: Lady Gaga Mayhem Requiem” Shazam concert page. After identifying any Gaga song, tap the special message that appears and save the page to get notified as content becomes available.
Mayhem won the 2026 Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album and earned multiple nominations, including Album of the Year, while also garnering a Song of the Year nomination for “Abracadabra” and a Best Pop Solo Performance nomination for “Disease.”
