The Celebration Tour
The Celebration Tour is the ongoing twelfth concert tour by American singer Madonna, visiting cities in North America and Europe and anticipating 78 shows. The tour started on October 14, 2023, at The O2 Arena in London, England, and it is set to conclude on April 24, 2024, at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico. As Madonna's first retrospective tour, it highlights her more than four decade-long recording career. The tour was announced on social media on January 17, 2023, after major speculation. To accompany its announcement, Madonna shared a truth or dare inspired, star-studded promo video featuring industry colleagues Diplo, Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Bob the Drag Queen, Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Megan Stalter, Eric André, and Amy Schumer. A Live Nation pre-sale took place on January 19 at 10:00 a.m. local, prior to the public on-sale beginning January 20 via Ticketmaster. After Madonna developed a "serious bacterial infection" in late June, leading to a multiple-day stay in the Intensive care unit (ICU), she announced the postponement of the initial North American leg via an Instagram post. The rescheduled dates were announced on August 15, 2023. Background Early speculations of a Madonna tour for
