Quirky girl group Crayon Pop, which burst onto the scene last year with their weirdly infectious hit, “Bar Bar Bar,” will be the opening act for pop superstar diva Lady Gaga this summer in the United States.
Gaga announced the news via Twitter, saying the winsome quintet will be joining her “Artrave: The Artpop Ball” tour from June 26 to July 22, which includes dates in Boston, Chicago, Houston and ends with two concerts in Los Angeles at the Staples Center.

The group unexpectedly became popular after a long period of grassroots marketing and do-it-yourself public performances. Their initial fan base was middle-aged men.
This all changed, however, after the video of their single, “Bar Bar Bar” — in which the girls wore nerdy helmets and colorful tracksuits with choreography described by some as bizarre — went viral.
Lady Gaga’s tour starts on May 4 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Below are the venues currently scheduledfor the June 26 to July 22 leg:
June 26: Milwaukee, WI (Summerfest at Marcus Amphitheater)
