Lady Gaga storms SXSW with hog roast and vomit

Pop superstar Lady Gaga stepped up her crazy onstage antics at the South by Southwest festival in Texas on Thursday night (13Mar14) by dressing as a hog roast on a spit and performing with a "vomit painter".

The Poker Face singer made her debut at the Austin event by performing at the Stubb's BBQ restaurant for around 2,000 fans, and she made a big impression by embracing the evening's cooked meat theme.

Gaga kicked off the show by roasting herself on a spit as her dancers basted her with barbecue sauce, she then invited performance artist Millie Brown onto the stage during a rendition of her track Swine.

Brown, who is described as a "vomit painter", swallowed a container full of green liquid before forcing herself to be sick over the stage. The Brit then vomited a black liquid onto the singer's body.

The show also featured a guest appearance by rapper Twista, who performed with the singer on her song Jewels N Drugs, and a rodeo performance on a giant mechanical pig.
