Put your paws up, Little Monsters, it seems that Lady Gaga isn’t quite done with the Mayhem era just yet.
The Grammy Award-winning singer has teamed up with Apple Music for a special taped live performance, Apple Music Live: Lady Gaga Mayhem Requiem. The show — filmed live last January at The Wiltern Theater in L.A.’s Koreatown neighborhood — will drop on the music streaming platform and at 15 AMC theaters around the United States on May 14 at at 8 p.m. Pacific Time.
Apple Music will allow non-subscribers to watch a Mayhem Requiem live stream at the time of the premiere. The full performance and live album, produced with Apple’s spatial audio technology, can be streamed on-demand on the platform for subscribers.
Mayhem Requiem comes on the heels of Gaga’s theatrical Mayhem Ball tour. The tour, which was executive produced by Gaga and her fiancé Michael Polansky, was a five-act opera, full of jaw-dropping performances of the singer’s current and past hits. She first premiered the show during her 2025 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival headlining set.
The new interpretation, according to a release, is a celebration of the album, which has served as the singer’s return to her pop roots. “The phantom of her own gothic opera, she spends most of the intimate evening at The Wiltern in Los Angeles at the piano or synths, where she helms reimagined arrangements of ‘Abracadabra,’ ‘Disease,’ and the rest of its tracklist among the cracked columns and scattered ruins of the Mayhem Ball,” the release reads.
Mayhem Requiem will screen at 15 AMC Theaters around the country including Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Minneapolis, Nashville, New York City, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa and Washington, D.C. Fans can register through Apple.
Gaga is clearly a fan of showcasing reimagined versions of her tracks. The “Die with a Smile” singer performed a rock rendition of Mayhem’s lead single, “Abracadabra,” at the 2026 Grammy Awards. In an unexpected twist, she opted to not include a full crew of dancers like the song’s music video. Instead, mostly hidden behind an elaborate eye-like hat, Gaga belted out the pop song in a new arrangement.
At that February ceremony, Gaga added two more Grammys to her collection, bringing her total to 16 wins. She went into music’s biggest night with seven nominations, the second-most-nominated artist at the 2026 Grammy Awards behind Kendrick Lamar.
