Fresh off her high-energy Super Bowl performance, Lady Gaga will embark on a world tour in August and the first leg includes a show in St. Paul.

The Grammy and Golden Globe winner and Academy Award-nominated artist will bring her "Joanne World Tour" to the Xcel Energy Center Aug. 21, officials announced Monday.

Tickets for the performance will go on sale Monday Feb. 13 at 10 a.m.

One of the bestselling performers of all time with 30 million global album sales and 150 million single sales, her fifth studio album "Joanne" was recently released and it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 20. It marked her fourth consecutive No. 1 album. She was the first female artist to do this since 2010.

The "Joanne" tour will be the pop singer's first as a solo headlining artist since 2014. The first leg of the tour will kick off in Vancouver and feature a series of dates in Canada and the United States before heading to Europe for shows in Barcelona, Paris, Zurich, Hamburg, Berlin and Koln.

The tour will then return to the United States for more shows in November and December.

There will be a limit of 8 tickets per transaction for all first day sales.

Tickets ranging from $47.50 to $252.50 will be available at the Xcel Energy Center Box Office, by calling 1-800-745-3000, or online at ticketmaster.com or at livenation.com.
