Lady Gaga says her upcoming UK tour shows are inspired conceptually by The Wizard Of Oz.

The 23-year-old star – real name Stefani Germanotta – had previously revealed that the European leg of The Monster Ball Tour would be “completely different” from the US shows.

Now, speaking of the tour to The Daily Star, Gaga said: “It’s more of a musical and less of a concert. It has a New York theme - it’s a story.

“The story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the Monster Ball and we get lost. It has got a kind of Wizard Of Oz influence.”

Back in December, Gaga told MTV.com: “I'm throwing out the stage. My team thinks I'm completely psychotic. But I don't f**king care what they think.

"Well, just to give you an idea, the stage is about four times the size of the one we're on now and conceptually, it's completely different.

“One thing that has been lost over the past 10-15 years, in pop music, is the idea of showbiz.

“And this is definitely going to bring that back."
