The "Born This Way" singer, who appeared as her male alter ego during MTV's Video Music Awards in August, will perform for the first time in India in front of guests invited by the club co-owner and Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal.
Earlier this year, in an interview with Indian chat show host Simi Garewal, Lady Gaga said she would like to soak up the local culture by taking an Indian cooking class.
Also making their debut in India is heavy metal band Metallica as part of F1 Rocks, which adds an extra dash of glamour by inviting top bands to perform at some of the races.
The cheapest ticket to attend the inaugural Indian Grand Prix at the new Buddh International Circuit is 2,500 rupees (about $50). That is a bit expensive for most Indians, but affordable for the country's growing middle class and its expanding disposal incomes.
But for the after-parties that are open to all, including one that will feature a DJ set by British eighties star Boy George, locals will have to fork out at least 15,000 rupees (around $300) -- a month's salary in some Delhi households.
Bollywood stars like Shah Rukh Kahn and Hrithik Roshan are expected to be in attendance and could be joined by Hollywood big-wigs. Local media reports said Tom Cruise had been invited.
As BIC readies to witness history, the Indians would be going all out to cheer their own team, Force India. And, star cricketer Sachin Tendulkar is no exception to it.
t a press conference held in New Delhi earlier today, the 25-year-old Grammy-winning singer said that she was looking forward to seeing more of India, "I am extremely grateful to the people for welcoming me here," she said. "The sights in India are beautiful but most beautiful are the people. I can't wait to come back here and see more of my fans."
Wearing orange and green highlights in her hair, Gaga seemed really excited about her performance. "I am going to perform some of my collaborations with Indian DJs. My outfit is going to be a hybrid of my vision and the Indian vision. I have modernised it a bit. There will be some surprises. I am very excited for you to see my show."
"It's an incredible feeling. Being a motor sport fan, I always wanted GP to take place in India and wonderful for all the Indians who actually go there and witness F1 race. I am rooting for Force India. First comes India, then the rest. I have, as a driver, always liked Michael Schumacher, but when India is participating, it's India first," Tendulkar said in a TV interview.
At the luxury 60-acre (25-ha) resort near the track where celebrities and F1 drivers like Michael Schumacher will be staying, last-minute preparations were being made to ensure quirky requests are met, including one from Formula One management headed by Bernie Ecclestone to have elephants available for guests to ride.
With around 100,000 fans set to pack the stands, the atmosphere should be electric at the $400 million circuit just outside Delhi.
"Formula One is finally coming to India," said media worker Dalariti Nongpiur, 28, who paid 6,500 rupees for a ticket. "To actually hear that sound, to feel the heat of the track. I can't believe that it's actually going to happen and I'm all excited about it."
