Lady GaGa fans, be bummed no more!

As she promised after the abrupt cancellation of “The Fame Kills Tour,” her ill-fated joint outing with superstar rapper Kanye West, GaGa has announced a cross-country trek to start this November.

Kicking off in Montreal on November 27, “The Monster Ball Tour” will hit cities like Boston (December 1 and 2), Las Vegas (December 18), and Los Angeles (December 21) before wrapping up with a two night stay at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on January 20 and 21.

“The Haus of Gaga had been designing ‘The Monster Ball’ for premiere in 2010 at the O2 Arena in London,” GaGa said of the tour. “But due to diligent work and preparation, ‘The Monster Ball’ will begin on November 27 in Montreal. ‘The Monster Ball’ is a multimedia artistic experience in the style of the first-ever ‘pop electro opera.”

Supporting her on the tour will be rap newcomer (and Kanye West protege) Kid Cudi, who will perform songs from his debut album Man on the Moon: The End of the Day.

Lady GaGa is touring in support of The Fame Monster, the re-release of her smash debut album The Fame, in stores on November 24.
