The biggest artist in pop has been hatching her plan to bring the biggest live show in pop to Big Weekend since her Monster Ball tour first set it sights on Europe in early March.
The New Yorker treated the lucky ticketholders to a show like they have never seen before. The pomp, posturing and p-p-p-poker face was wedded with lush interludes of piano and jazz trumpet and coffin-based entrances to create a truly unforgettable show.

Cut away the hype, image and psychobabble and there’s still a great pop album here.
