Lady Gaga Pauses Sydney Show After Dancer Slides Off Rain‑Slick Stage

After a brief safety stop to change footwear, dancer Michael Dameski reported no injury, keeping the tour on schedule.

Overview

  • During the Mayhem Ball stop at Sydney’s Accor Stadium, dancer Michael Dameski slipped off the stage mid‑song in “Garden of Eden” as heavy rain made the surface slick.
  • Gaga immediately cut the music, told crews to stop, climbed down to check on Dameski, and reassured the crowd before resuming the performance.
  • The concert paused for roughly five minutes while performers switched to shoes with better grip and staff addressed the wet stage, which had caused earlier technical issues.
  • Dameski posted on Instagram that he was okay, thanked fans, and noted he finished the final show of the year, adding, “The show must go on.”
  • Tour plans remain unchanged, with reports indicating Dameski is expected to return when dates resume in Tokyo in January 2026.
