Madonna Is Going on Tour With Bob the Drag Queen For four decades, Madonna has given us countless hits, game-changing music videos, fashion statement after fashion statement, some objectively odd advice and plenty of show-stopping moments worthy of the title "Queen of Pop."It feels like we're well due for a proper Madonna retrospective — and what better way to do so than with a world tour?To commemorate the 40th anniversary of her music career, Madonna has announced that she will emark on a career-spanning Celebration tour beginning this summer. Spanning 35 cities across North America and Europe, the world tour is set to kick off in July and hit up every major city stadium from Vancouver to Amsterdam. Madonna, who may or may not have come out as gay in a TikTok a few months ago, will be joined by Bob the Drag Queen as an opener across all dates.Related | Madonna Is the Wildest Party FavorAs an homage to her 1991Truth or Dare documentary, the tour announcement arrives alongside a Nuno Xico–directed visual that sees Madonna host an all-star dinner party with a sexual twist. From Amy Schumer being asked to demonstrate how she eats her husband's ass (spoiler alert: she doesn't) to Diplo dipping his balls in his margarita and Madonna slipping Jack Black the tongue, the announcement video has that same level of semi-deranged energy a party gets as it works its way into the early hours of the morning and everyone's had a few drinks (albeit with celebrity cameos from Eric Andre, Lil' Wayne, Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Meg Stalter, Judd Apatow and more). Eventually, the game of innuendo-riddled Truth Or Dare comes back around to Madge herself, with Schumer daring her to revisit her entire discography in a new world tour. Though it's a Herculean undertaking, Madonna is naturally up for the challenge.“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” Madonna said in a statement. In addition to the tour, Warner Music Group has announced plans to “revisit the groundbreaking music that made [Madonna] an international icon," including “expansive deluxe editions for many of her landmark albums” and “unique releases for special events.” The first of these projects is a new remix album, Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, set to arrive this August.
