Cleveland, Pittsburgh included on Lady Gaga Tour

Lady Gaga announced a 31-city arena tour today that includes shows in Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The singer will perform July 14 at Quicken Loans Arena and Sept. 5 at what likely will be one of the first events at Pittsburgh’s new Consul Energy Center. Tickets for some dates on the tour go on sale Friday, but on-sale dates for Cleveland and Pittsburgh haven’t been announced yet.

The press release announcing the tour includes this quote from Lady Gaga telling fans what to expect: "It's still called Monster Ball, but it's more of a musical and less of a concert," Lady Gaga said in a February interview with KIIS-FM’s Ryan Seacrest. "It has a New York theme, it's a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we're going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost."
