Lady Gaga will be dressing up as a monster for her upcoming Monster Ball tour.

The 23-year-old singer recently announced she would be heading off on her own tour later this year after cancelling a planned tour with rapper Kanye West.

She said: “The theme of monsters is certainly going to be an influence. It’s going to be a truly artistic experience that is going to take the form of the greatest post-apocalyptic house party that you’ve ever been to.”

The singer will also be re-releasing her album The Fame as a two-disc edition called The Fame Monster in November.
