Conchita Wurst to open for Lady Gaga on ‘artRave’ tour?
By Sam Rigby
Eurovision champion Conchita Wurst is rumoured to be joining Lady Gaga’s artRave tour.
It has been reported by Austrian news site oe24 that the Applause singer has invited Wurst to perform at the opening date of her European tour in Istanbul on September 16.
Although this is currently the only date mentioned, it is likely that the drag queen will appear at other shows. Gaga will perform in Wurst’s native Austria on November 2.
Neither singer has made any comment on the reports so far.
Earlier this month, Gaga kicked off her latest world tour in Florida, performing hits like Telephone and Bad Romance, alongside material from ARTPOP.
Wurst won the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen on May 10, and has since embarked on a promotional tour around Europe.
She will perform at London’s G-A-Y club night at Heaven this Saturday (May 24).
