In 2022, Madonna reached the 40-year milestone of her breakout single Holiday, and she’s chosen to celebrate by going on tour and performing all of her greatest hits. Aren’t we lucky!
The Queen of Pop will perform music which spans her entire career, from her self-titled 1983 album to her most recent, Madame X – and the popstar has no shortage of hits to choose from for her setlist.
She has achieved 63 top 10 hits in the UK, including 13 number one singles such as Into The Groove, Vogue, and Hung Up. Our favourite Madonna tracks include Like a Prayer, Papa Don’t Preach, and Material Girl. After all, who wouldn’t want to be a material girl living in a material world?
Madonna: The Celebration Tour is the 64-year-old’s first tour since the Madame X shows in 2019 and 2020, where the singer-songwriter opted for theatre venues instead of arenas. This time around, Madonna is heading to bigger venues, such as London’s O2 Arena, where she hopes to give fans “the show they have been waiting for”.
The celebratory tour kicks off in Vancouver on 15th July this year, before heading to North America. The global icon will then head across the pond to Europe, where she’s performing in 11 cities, including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris and London.
It’s sure to be an event to remember, so let’s find out how you can bag tickets.
