LADY Gaga has been forced to push back the biggest tour of her career because so many other stars have booked up stadiums.
The Rain On Me singer, 38, planned to perform across the globe including a handful of major concerts in the UK.
But tours from Oasis Beyoncé, Dua Lipa, Bruce Springsteen and Coldplaynext year has meant there is no space at major venues in Britain — so she has pushed her global jaunt back to 2026.
An insider said: "Lady Gaga is planning the biggest tour of her career — but it will have to wait.
"She sold out two nights at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during her 20-date Chromatica Ball tour in 2022 and the demand was so huge, she wants to push the boat out even more this time.
"Her next album will be out in the new year and she hoped to spend much of the summer on tour.
"But acts like Oasis and Coldplay have thwarted it.
"She has been told there's no room at the inn, so she will have to make do with touring in 2026 instead.
"That won't be music to the ears of her fans but at least it will give them time to save for tickets."
The US singer has spent the past nine weeks in the Top Ten with Die With A Smile, her collaboration with Bruno Mars.
And today she has released her new single Disease, the first track from her upcoming seventh studio album.
It is a welcome success after Gaga's latest movie Joker: Folie à Deux which she starred in alongside Joaquin Phoenix, inset, flopped at the box office.
It has made just £9.8million in the UK — only slightly more than her £9.2million fee for her role as Harley Quinn.
Since hitting No 1 with her debut Just Dance in 2009, she has had 15 Top Ten singles.
Gaga also starred in hit movies A Star Is Born and House of Gucci.
She got engaged to her tech investor partner Michael Polansky, 41, in April.
Last month, she told how he had inspired her to return to her pop music roots for her forthcoming album, which is due out in February.
She said: "Michael is the person who told me to make a new pop record. He was like, 'Babe. I love you. You need to make pop music.'"
