Lady Gaga will be in New Jersey tonight

The big event is finally here! Lady Gaga is finally bringing her Chromatica Ball to New Jersey (though it's also billed as Lady Gaga's New York concert).

The Chromatica Ball hits the New York region, when it comes to the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, on Thursday, August 11.

From setlists to parking to opening acts, we put together a list of everything you need to know ahead of the show.

What Time Is Lady Gaga's New Jersey Concert?

The "event" begins at 7:30 p.m., according to avenue officials.

Is There An Opening Act for the Lady Gaga Concert in New York

The concert does not officially list an opening act for the show. But it's likely there will be live music and bumping energy ahead of the show.

Having said that, you never know which special guests may show up for a concert in New York / New Jersey.

What Time Will Lady Gaga Perform in New York / East Rutherford, NJ

Based on our best guesstimates, we think that Gaga will take to the stage around 9:10 p.m. This is based on the stage time for her previous shows on this tour.

However, we advise that you're in seats earlier. External factors can put an artist on stage earlier than anticipated (if there's inclement weather or anything). Plus, at a crowded stadium show, there are sure to be delays as you enter the complex. So give yourself PLENTY of time.

Having said that, if you're like me, you want to be prepared for a concert. We've got a look at the expected setlist and more here.
