The Celebration Tour, which will highlight Madonna’s greatest hits from her four-decade-long career as the Queen of Pop, is set to begin on Saturday at The O2 in London. Prior to the start of the tour, the 65-year-old singer shared photos on her Instagram stories of her spending an evening with her son David Banda, Stella McCartney, talent manager Guy Oseary, and visiting her son Rocco Ritchie’s art exhibition.
In June, Madonna had to postpone the original start date of her tour in Canada due to a “serious bacterial infection” that required her to stay in intensive care for several days. In July, she posted on Instagram, stating that she was focusing on her health and getting stronger, and mentioning plans to reschedule the North American leg of the tour to begin in October in Europe. New tour dates were confirmed in August by Live Nation.
The tour is a tribute to New York City, where Madonna’s music career began. Special guest Bob The Drag Queen, winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, will be performing at all tour dates. Madonna’s musical director, Stuart Price, described the tour as a documentary of her extensive career, featuring over 40 songs. He emphasized that the original recordings are the stars of the show and cannot be replicated or recreated.
Madonna, the most successful female artist in UK chart history with 13 number one hits, has a vast back catalogue of music that includes her early successes like “Into The Groove” (1985) and “Papa Don’t Preach” (1986), as well as her latest hits like “4 Minutes” (2008) featuring Justin Timberlake and “Sorry” (2006). She has also had numerous number two peaks on the UK charts, including “American Life” (2003) and “Beautiful Stranger” (1999). Throughout her career, Madonna’s performances have been known for their controversial and shocking moments, such as her risque onstage antics and provocative costumes. Her 1990 Blond Ambition tour drew criticism from global authorities and led to the cancellation of several Italian shows.
After her London show, Madonna will continue her European leg with performances in Denmark, Belgium, and Spain, before returning to the UK for two more concerts in London in December. The North American leg of the tour will start on December 13 in Brooklyn, New York, and will include cities like Boston, Toronto, and Miami. The tour is expected to conclude in Mexico City with four dates from April 20 to April 24, 2024. This is Madonna’s first tour since her Madame X shows in 2020, some of which were canceled due to knee and hip injuries.
