Madonna took the captivated audience on an emotional journey through some of her biggest hits, including songs she has not performed on stage in decades. With nods to her beginnings as a struggling artist living in New York City, to her meteoric success, through personal and professional lows to spiritual awakening; the show captures Madonna’s past while looking to the future.
The tour has been rescheduled after initial dates were cancelled when the singer received treatment for a serious bacterial infection in hospital earlier this year.
Directed by long-time collaborator Jamie King and the musical direction of Stuart Price; songs included Nothing Really Matters, Open Your Heart, Like A Prayer, Into The Groove and Crazy For You. View the complete setlist from night one below.
The colossal 78 date tour, will move across Europe before landing in Madonna’s adopted hometown of New York City in December to begin the North American leg. The celebration will move over the US and Canada throughout spring of 2024; concluding with four sold out shows in Mexico City next April.
