Lady Gaga on Tuesday confirmed that she'll begin a residency in Las Vegas at the MGM Park Theater, where Cher and Bruno Mars are current headliners, starting in late 2018.
According to a source, Gaga will perform 74 dates with the possibility of a longer run. The deal is said to be potentially valued at nearly $100 million, with the pop star clearing a million-plus dollars per show to lock in $75 million over two years. Comparatively, Britney Spears' two-year re-up at Planet Hollywood was in the range of $30 million. That show, “Piece of Me,” has grossed more than $135 million since Dec. 2013.
Gaga's last touring run, of 37 shows, saw an average box office gross of $2.5 million, according to concert industry trade Pollstar.
