Gaga Comes Home: New York Is The Latest Surprise Stop On The Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour

Playing to a hometown crowd, Gaga debuts ‘Joanne' in run-up to her new album release

Thursday, October 20: Consider it a homecoming over a decade in the making.

After kicking-off the Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour earlier this month in Nashville, Tenn., Gaga made her return to the intimate settings of downtown Manhattan dive bars where her career first began.

During the second stop of her three-city tour, Gaga took over a dive bar located on Bleecker St. in downtown New York and previewed the anticipated single “Joanne” — the title track off her newest album. With lyrics that honor the singer's late aunt, the crowd listened intently as she shared personal stories from the song's inception to the naming of the album. “Joanne” was preceded by “Diamond Heart” and “A-Yo” then followed by “Millions Reason,” “Grigio Girls” and a new collaboration with Mark Ronson, “Another Day."

As a special gift to her hometown Monsters, Gaga and Ronson put on a second performance for fans unable to make it inside once the bar hit capacity. On the balcony above Bleecker Street, Gaga performed an after show acoustic set to an adoring home crowd gathered on the street below. She waved goodnight and tipped her signature pink Joanne hat to an adoring impromptu crowd with tears in her eyes as a perfect New York fall evening came to a close.

If you're looking to relive the NYC performance, or if you were unable to make the show, visit the Bud Light Facebook page to stream the event. Be sure to pick up her new album, “Joanne,” available everywhere today, October 21.

The next and final Bud Light x Lady Gaga Dive Bar Tour performance will be on Thursday, October 27 at a to be disclosed location. Join the conversation at #DiveBarTour and follow @BudLight on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook for more details.
