As Madonna completes her recovery from a bacterial infection that required critical care, she has revealed revised dates for her global Celebration tour.
It will now start on October 14 in London, having been initially scheduled to begin on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada. It commemorates Holiday, Madonna’s breakthrough song, which turned 40 years old in 2023. The majority of the US dates have been postponed to 2024 and some have been cancelled.
She was discharged from hospital on June 29 and took some time out to recover but was spotted at a Beyoncé concert recently.
Celebration is set to be a greatest hits show, encompassing her career from the Material Girl era to her most recent LP, Madame X.
European tour dates
Madonna will be performing in 11 European cities in the autumn and winter, starting in the O2 Arena, London on October 14 for four sold-out shows. The tour includes stops in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, and she returns to the O2 Arena for two more dates in December.
She called on fans to help her choose which songs make the Celebration tour setlist, asking on social media: “What song would you like to dance to at my show?”
