According to the paper Gaga's team are spending £500,000 on the production at the iconic venue.

A source told The Sun: 'The gig in Camden has a huge budget and is likely to be the first anyone sees or hears of her album. The Haus Of Gaga team have been working in secret on costumes and stage sets for the show from their base in Paris.'

'Gaga’s dancers have also been rehearsing but she’s only told her closest friends about the new direction she’s taking. The music is going to be a big departure and Gaga’s dreamed up a whole new image for the album.'

A spokesperson for the singer was unavailable for comment.

The show will be part of the iTunes festival and Gaga will join the likes of Justin Timberlake, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Elton John over the event's 30 nights of shows.

Gaga is currently gearing up for the promotion of her new album Artpop.

Does she nose something we don't? Lady Gaga has sparked rumours she has had a nose job after her nose was looking thinner at Gay Pride last month. Seen right in 2009

Gaga has sparked speculation she has recently undergone a nose job, after it appeared more streamlined at a recent Gay Pride event.

The singer took to the stage to speak at the celebration in New York and her nose appeared to be slimmer and smaller.

A spokesperson for Gaga refused to comment on the claims.

Gaga has spoken out about her looks and in a past interview claimed she would never go under the knife.

Speaking to Harper's Bazaar in 2011 after sporting prosthetic horns and claiming they were her 'bones' she said: 'I have never had plastic surgery, and there are many pop singers who have.'

'I think promoting insecurity in the form of plastic surgery is infinitely more harmful than an artistic expression related to body modification.'

She continued: 'And how many models and actresses do you see on magazine covers who have brand-new faces and have had plastic surgery, while I myself have never had any plastic surgery?'

While Gaga's looks might be causing controversy, her absence from social networking sites has also raised eyebrows.

Lady Gaga, who has over 39million followers on Twitter, recently announced she was leaving the site - albeit for a temporary period.

The singer has changed her profile picture to the default egg and has written: 'This interface has been shutdown temporarily. Please check back for updates.'

It's thought her departure from Twitter is to coincide with the promotional drive for her new album ARTPOP.
