Lady GaGa has revealed eleven dates of her upcoming world tour to support her album "Born This Way". The Mother Monster will kick off the trek on April 27 in South Korea and travel the world until 2013. Her tour stops include Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and Australia.

"The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage," she said in a statement. "THE BORN THIS WAY BALL is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating."

Its stage is designed with a gothic castle theme. "The central area within the stage will be known as 'The Monster Pit," she explained. "[It's] General Admission only, and Little Monsters unlock it when they arrive to the arena or stadium. Entry to 'The Monster Pit' is relegated to the fans who have arrived first, waited all night, + dressed to 'Ball'."

The outlandish singer added, "Every night Haus of GaGa will choose fans from The Monster Pit to come back stage + meet me! These tickets are NOT more expensive." Answering to her fans' question about "dress code requirement," she said there's none. " 'Born This Way' means anything goes," she explained.
