Madonna is hitting the road again with her “Madonna: The Celebration Tour.” Madge let the world know she was coming with a viral video that was a call back to her 1990 film Truth or Dare.
The announcement video features Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Diplo, Bob the Drag Queen, Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Meg Stalter, Eric Andre, and Amy Schumer — the last of whom dares the Madge to go back on tour and perform her many, many hits from the last four decades.
Good news: Madonna never backs down from a dare, and beginning on July 15 she’s hitting the road, with a tour that will “be highlighting her unmatched catalog of music from the past 40-plus years,” according to the announcement. The tour will also serve as her paying “respect to the city of New York, where her career in music began.”
“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” Madonna says in the announcement, and she’s not kidding.
The “Madonna: The Celebration Tour” will hit 35 cities around the globe, kicking off in north America at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, BC, then making its way through Detroit, Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, and more before jetting off to Europe for an 11 city tour, including London, Barcelona, Paris, and Stockholm, and more. The tour ends in Amsterdam on December 1.
Madonna won’t be globetrotting alone, joining her for the entirety of the tour is none other than Bob the Drag Queen, who will be the singer’s special guest at every stop.
