UPDATE: Lady Gaga’s highly anticipated concert film, ‘Harlequin Live — One Night Only’, is set to premiere on her YouTube channel on Christmas Eve at 4 PM PT. This exclusive release comes just in time for the holidays, bringing fans a captivating performance recorded on September 30, 2024, at the Belasco Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles.
Gaga’s concert film showcases her entire ‘Harlequin’ album, a companion piece to her role in the film ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’, where she stars alongside Joaquin Phoenix.

In a recent Q&A session at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, Gaga expressed her excitement about the film’s holiday release, stating,
“We have this thing that’s so special to us, so we’re just really happy to share it with the fans. It’s kind of a rebellious project. And, by Harlequin standards, Christmas is the perfect time to release something rebellious.”
The film is described as a “singular love letter from Gaga to music lovers around the world.” Executive produced by Gaga herself, along with Todd Tourso and Mel Roy, the project aims to provide fans with a deeper understanding of her evolution as a jazz musician. “This will not be my last jazz record,” Gaga added, hinting at future projects.
