Before anyone goes apeshit, Martin Cizmar already announced that Lady Gaga's Monster Ball Tour will be playing US Airways Center this July, but I will still include the information for the concert in this list. I wouldn't try to sneak in such a big-name artist like that in this list. However, at this point, Ke$ha makes Lady Gaga look like fucking Édith Pilaf.
