IT was one of the must-see events of 2011 and Lady Gaga looks set to return to Sydney Town Hall for a repeat performance.

It's understood radio network Southern Cross Austereo is in talks with the US singer's music label to stage an intimate concert during a break in an upcoming tour, with February the most likely month.
A SCA spokesperson wouldn't confirm the plans.

However, music industry sources say the network is in the final stages of negotiations.

Dubbed the 'Monsters Ball' and staged at Town Hall in July 2011, it was hailed a massive success for SCA as well as commercial partners, Vodafone and MCM Media. The invite-only show cost $1 million.

Lady Gaga to Tour Australia this June-July

Lady Gaga is promising Australian fans fireworks when she returns for six shows as part of her Born This Way world tour.

The pop megastar will play arena dates in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth in June and July with the singer hinting at adding dates.

'The Haus of Gaga and I have worked for months conceiving a spectacular stage,' Gaga said in a statement.

'The Born This Way Ball is an electro-metal pop-opera; the tale of the beginning, the genesis of the kingdom of Fame.

'How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.'

The eccentric singer has been teasing fans on Twitter and Facebook with sketches of her stage design and posted a picture of the first official tour poster.

Coloured in a black and white palette with purple and green highlights, it shows the star's alien alter ego appearing in the cloudy night sky over a castle.

Renowned for her quirky art, Gaga brought her lavish stage show to Sydney last July for her one-off Monster Hall performance.

Promising fans she would be back, Australians will be among the first to see the world tour after dates in Asia and New Zealand.
