The global tour will celebrate the 40th anniversary of her breakthrough single, Holiday, in 1983.

(A completed, but vastly different, version of the song also appeared as a bonus track on Madame X.) Twenty of the tracks were rare recordings gaining their first official release. In the same interview, Madonna added: "I don't think about stopping. I can't do it again.'" In 2008-09, her Sticky and Sweet Tour became the highest-grossing tour by a female artist ever, with receipts of $411m (£335m). A press release said the concerts "will take us on Madonna's artistic journey through four decades and pays respect to the city of New York where her career in music began".

Amiens mayor wants singer to lend Jérôme-Martin Langlois painting after it went missing in first world war.

I’m not asking her to give it to us but to allow us to borrow it for just a few weeks so people here can see it.” “My initial aim was to do something a bit humorous to make people talk about my city, especially at this time, when the pre-selection for European capital of culture is happening. “Clearly, we don’t contest in any way that you have acquired this work legally,” Fouré says in her message to the singer … The painting was sold in a perfectly legal auction; she bought it and she owns it. It was exhibited at the Musée des Beaux-Arts – now the Musée de Picardie – in Amiens from 1878 but was thought to have been destroyed when the city was bombed in 1918. When they were returned to Amiens after the war, the Langlois was missing.

Madonna's upcoming tour will defy society's limits on female pop stars (The Washington Post)

Madonna pushes against old assumptions about gender and age at a time when the public dialogue can be mean and unforgiving on those very subjects.

Her brand of exhibitionist feminism put the female body directly in the spotlight, and that became fundamental to her public identity. But the culture is less likely to applaud the looks of a 64-year-old woman unless she is perceived as somehow defying the march of time or aging gracefully — which is to say walking quietly into the sunset wearing expensive cashmere and sensible shoes. (Most probably don’t want to.) The excitement isn’t in a repeat performance of “Vogue” or “Like a Prayer.” The thrill is in the possibilities of what those songs can become. Madonna is the MTV godmother bringing her personal playlist and bump-and-grind aesthetic back to the stadium crowds. Madonna was one of the foundational female artists of the MTV dance pop genre, and this tour will be a testament to that legacy and a test of cultural boundaries. When she incorporated ballroom culture into her video for “Vogue,” she was applauded for shining a spotlight on this dance style created within the Black and Latin LGBTQ community. She announced her intentions on social media in a video that features a game of truth or dare — a reference to her 1991 film of the same name — with a clique of pals including Jack Black, Amy Schumer, Judd Apatow and Lil Wayne. And for this — and her danceable beats and keen sense of aesthetics — she was beloved. She made a career out of punching up at the powerful and the privileged. She stood on the side of outsiders. She rankled the sensibilities of the Catholic church, Moral Majority and evangelicals. Madonna has announced the North American and European dates of her concert tour, during which she will perform her most popular, era-defining songs.

A risque celebrity dinner party "announcement" is Madonna's way of saying she's back — and touring. Here's what we know about the music icon's shows so far.

Madonna asks: "You think people would come to that show?" Still, she'd have a big task — John took in more than $US114 million ($163 million) that year alone, compared to the Material Girl's $US36 million ($51 million). In true Madonna style, the video was a risque truth-or-dare session that culminated in Amy Schumer "daring" her to go on a world tour.

Madonna's 2023 Celebration Tour: The Dream Setlist (Billboard)

Madonna's 2023 Celebration Tour: A dream setlist of songs we want to hear the Queen of Pop perform on her 40th anniversary tour.

This might not be a sturdy classic in the vein of hit songs that warranted inclusion on The Immaculate Collection, but we’d like to hear some rarities on this trek, and why not a “deep cut” that was also a massive hit? Despite being one of her live staples, she hasn’t busted out “Like a Virgin” since 2016 – and for an anniversary tour, it’s kinda-sorta a must, as her first No. Speaking of a hit and a flop, it’s time to bring “Who’s That Girl” back into regular rotation on a Madonna tour. It’s a rousing anthem of resilience, and we’d love to hear it on at least one of these Celebration Tour dates. While we’re on the topic, “Causing a Commotion” was a No. “Vogue” is of its time, sure, but increasingly, it’s clear that it’s one of the GOAT dance classics. Second album Like a Virgin propelled her to superstardom, but 1986’s True Blue proved she was there to stay, and “Open Your Heart” is a huge piece of that equation. Sure, it’s more of a classic in the oeuvres of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Patti LuPone, but when it comes to Evita, Madonna does have something those theater greats don’t: A top 10 Hot 100 hit, thanks to this remix accompanying the film’s 1996 release. 1, “Take a Bow” is Madonna’s longest-running Hot 100 topper — yet she’s rarely performed it live. 2 on Hot 100), a crowd-pleaser during her intimate 2019 residency at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and a recently viral TikTok favorite, it’s a no-brainer that hearts will be open (and phones will be recording) if and when she busts this one out. Plus, the message still lands: “Dance and sing/ Get up and do your thing.” Just try to understand (underSTAND) how delightful it would be to hear this slice of cotton-candy pop at a stadium near you.
