 On October 31 , 2011 , Gaga performed a Bollywood version of " Marry the Night " in India during a Formula One after party in Greater Noida . Before the performance , she announced " I feel like I 've waited a long time to come here . And I feel very grateful . ... For the first time ever , I 'm going to sing ' Marry the Night ' . " She sat on the piano and played a slow version of the song , accompanied by a sitar . At the 2011 MTV Europe Music Awards , Gaga gave her first televised performance of " Marry the Night " dressed as a satellite landing on the moon . Wearing a red bikini , and a large red disc around her , Gaga was perched atop a semi @-@ circular replica of the moon which was covered in silver chains . Flames erupted around the stage as Gaga revealed another circular disc covering her face . She sang the song from that vantage point and near the end of the performance , removed the metal disc and performed a choreographed dance routine with her back @-@ up dancers . She also performed the song at the 2011 Bambi Awards in Wiesbaden , Germany , on November 10 . The stage included a vintage convertible with a keyboard built into the side of the door and Gaga also won an award later that night at the gala .
