Madonna was originally supposed to play one London show on her global tour, but she’s now doing four due to ‘overwhelming’ ticket demand.
The Queen of Pop, 64, initially announced a second date at London’s O2 Arena when tickets went on sale on Friday (January 20), with fans moaning that it was like a ‘Olympic sport’ to get a ticket.
She has now announced that a third and fourth show will be staged at the 20,000-capacity arena on October 14, 15, 17, and 18.
Madonna added: ‘I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for.’
A press release stated her Madonna: The Celebration Tour will take fans on her artistic journey through four decades and pay homage to the city of New York where her career in music began 40 years ago.
As a result, we can anticipate a set list jam-packed with songs, which means that whether Holiday, Vogue, Material Girl, or Like A Virgin is your favourite, you won’t be disappointed.
Madonna is planned to perform in 35 locations, beginning on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, and going across North America.
The singer, born Madonna Louise Ciccone, will then tour Europe, performing in 11 locations this autumn.
She was only supposed to play London’s O2 on 14 October as part of a European tour that included included stops in Barcelona, Paris, and Stockholm.
She will wrap off the tour on December 1 at the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.
The tour, which is already being billed as a “one-of-a-kind experience,” will feature Bob the Drag Queen – real name Caldwell Tidicue – as a special guest on all dates.
Madonna launched the global tour on Tuesday (January 17) with a black-and-white video featuring DJ Diplo, actor Jack Black, and rapper Lil Wayne, and ending with comedian Amy Schumer daring the singer to go on tour.
It is the first time Madonna has toured since 2019, when she performed across America and Europe to promote her Madame X album, so fans will undoubtedly be excited.
The news of the additional tour dates came as Madonna supporters were incensed by the prices of tickets for the tour, which celebrates her four decades as a performer, with the Mail Online reporting that some were selling for nearly £3,000 each.
Madonna, ever the controversial star, has sparked outrage with a new religious-inspired photoshoot for Vanity Fair, which has been labelled as ‘blasphemy’ since it contains a portrait of Madonna assuming the role of Jesus in a reconstruction of the Last Supper, flanked by 12 of her ‘disciples’.
Expect the unexpected when it comes to this tour.
