Madonna is getting back into the groove — of 40 years of hits. The pop icon will go on her first retrospective tour, the Celebration tour, beginning this summer to honor the 40th anniversary of her self-titled debut. And she announced it with a fitting blast from the past: a clip paying homage to her 1991 documentary, Truth or Dare. In it, Madonna plays dirty “truth or dare” over dinner with the most random crew of celebrities one could pull together, from Jack Black to Kate Berlant to a “too stoned for this shit” Lil Wayne, before Amy Schumer dares her to go on a career-spanning tour. “Wait, hold on — that’s a lot of songs,” says the woman with the most top-ten hits of any female artist, at 38. How’s that for a stacked set list?
The 37-date trek through North America and Europe will also feature Madonna’s first arena shows in nearly a decade, since her 2015–16 tour behind Rebel Heart. Tickets go on sale this Friday, January 20. The party kicks off July 15 in Vancouver, with stops in New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles before the North American leg ends in Las Vegas on October 7. (On the proper anniversary of Madonna, July 27, she’ll be in … Tulsa, Oklahoma.) The European leg follows with a London date on October 14, before wrapping in Amsterdam on December 1. Bob the Drag Queen, among the friends in the announcement clip, will open all dates. The tour follows a career-spanning box set from last year, Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, after Madonna’s last proper album, Madame X, came in 2019. (It’ll also tide us over for Madonna’s self-directed biopic starring Julia Garner.) Find the run of North American dates below — and start praying that your favorite songs make the cut.
