After a successful tour of Europe, Lady Gaga heads to North America for dates beginning June 28. But with most shows selling out, her promoter Live Nation announced Monday that she will extend her tour in 2011 starting February 19, 2011.

Tickets for 2011 Monster Ball Tour dates go on sale May 14 for the launch in Atlantic City, and other select cities, including Boston and Houston. More tickets roll out for show dates in New Orleans and Las Vegas on May 15, Toronto and Miami on May 17, with more dates to follow.

The Monster Ball tour, which Gaga describes as "the first-ever pop-electro opera," includes performances of music from her two multi-platinum albums, The Fame Monster, and the Grammy-winner The Fame, with No. 1 singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" and her current hit "Telephone."

Semi Precious Weapons will open dates for the 2010 tour and continue in 2011.
