Fans of Taiwanese band Mayday can from Tuesday next week snatch tickets for its three concerts at Kai Tak Sports Park, with the cheapest costing HK$555.

The band will perform three days from May 9 to May 11 at the main stadium - the first Asian band to perform there. Tickets cost up to HK$1,855.

The date of the official sale has yet to be announced, but holders of Bank of East Asia credit cards will enjoy priority booking from March 18 to 20.

The band has said fans will be able to enjoy upgraded visual effects that are "remarkable."

American pop superstar Lady Gaga, meanwhile, will hold four shows in May in Singapore - her only Asian stop on tour.

Event organizer Live Nation announced on social media yesterday that the singer will take the stage on May 18, 19, 21 and 24 at the Singapore National Stadium.

Lady Gaga confirmed the shows on her Instagram account yesterday.

Tickets will go on sale later this month, with pre-sales for hotel and ticket packages beginning at 10am on Wednesday next week, local time, through online travel booking platform Klook.

A package for two tickets plus accommodation for one or two nights at a four-star hotel will cost at least S$589 (HK$3,438), with another package for two tickets plus accommodation for one or two nights at a five-star hotel priced at around S$728.

KrisFlyer, Singapore Airlines' rewards program, said its members can enjoy priority access to an exclusive ticket sale for Lady Gaga's concerts. The program, an official partner for the concerts, said its members will have priority access to category one through nine tickets from March 20 during the KrisFlyer presale.

Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law Shuk-pui earlier addressed reports about the Singapore concerts, acknowledging that international artists often choose nearby cities for their tours.

She emphasized that the newly opened Kai Tak Sports Park has been in discussions with people behind various large-scale projects and events, though she did no divulge details due to commercial considerations.

"The government is keen to attract global stars to perform in the city and is open to providing financial support for suitable projects," Law said, highlighting the potential of Kai Tak Sports Park as a venue to facilitate such events.

Lady Gaga - a singer, songwriter and actress - recently won the best pop duo/group performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards with Bruno Mars for their song Die With A Smile. She also released her seventh solo album Mayhem on March 7.

This follows another US pop superstar, Taylor Swift, performing in six concerts in Singapore in March last year during her global The Eras Tour.

It generating an estimated S$400 million in economic benefits, according to analysts at DBS Bank.
