THE CELEBRATION TOUR (2023)
The Celebration Tour kicked off with 4 dates at the London O2 Arena in October 2023. Tour stops in another 10 European cities followed until early December.
The North American leg of the tour was originally planned for the summer of 2023, but due to health issues, these dates were all rescheduled between December 2023 and April 2024. After 80 shows, Madonna held a final show at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The show was free, to thank her fans for their support over the past 40 years. It drew a staggering 1,6 million people, the largest crowd for a standalone concert ever.
On the first day of sales, the tour had sold-out 36 shows and counting across Toronto, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and more, with over 600,000 tickets sold.
It was the first time Madonna hit the road without promoting a new studio album. The setlist was entirely based on her back catalog of the past four decades. "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 the announcement.
