Lady Gaga has revealed the dark gothic theme for her next world tour, The Born This Way Ball.
The popstar leaked her tour poster online via Twitter after drinking "too much wine". The image shows Gaga in typical creative fashion, wearing a dress shaped like a triangular piano, accompanied by four admiring men in sharp suits, standing under part of a castle complete with turrets, while an image of her head floats mystically in the dark clouds.
The 2012-2013 tour to celebrate her second album sees The Marry The Night singer add a darker twist to the famously outlandish stage performances of her previous Monster Ball tour, set in modern-day New York City.
Along with debuting the tour poster, the 2012 Grammy performer has also treated her millions of fans to a first look at an intricate sketch.
It reveals the Born This Way Ball stage will take the form of a gothic castle, complete with viewing towers, crucifix-esque carvings, with what looks like a city in the background, and a catwalk that will allow her to wander through the middle of her audience.
Before she revealed the photo via her Twitter account she tweeted to her almost 19m followers:
She also announced the first tour dates will be announced at 11am PST:
