Lady Gaga is bringing a festive gift to fans around the world this holiday season. Lady Gaga in Harlequin Live – One Night Only, a cinematic concert film capturing her one-off show at The Belasco in Los Angeles, will premiere globally on YouTube at midnight UK time on Christmas Day.

The intimate performance, filmed in September 2024, sees Gaga perform her critically acclaimed jazz album Harlequin in full for the first and only time in front of a small crowd of fans. The album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart, features her own spin on standards such as Oh, When The Saints, World On A String and That’s Entertainment, along with two original tracks, Happy Mistake and Folie à Deux. It is currently nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 2026 GRAMMYs.

Directed by Gaga alongside Michael Polansky, Todd Tourso and Mel Roy, and lensed by cinematographer Marcell Rév (Euphoria), the film marks a return to Gaga’s jazz roots following the passing of her longtime collaborator Tony Bennett. Critics have praised Harlequin as a career high, with Rolling Stone calling it a “luxuriant album of jazzy swing”, and USA Today naming it “one of her finest moments on record”.

The release comes at a high point for Gaga, who earned seven GRAMMY nominations for her studio album MAYHEM, and continues her sold-out MAYHEM Ball tour, which heads to Japan next before more US dates in 2026.
