Tour schedule
The Celebration Tour kicked off with 4 dates at the London O2 Arena in October 2023. Tour stops in another 10 European cities followed until early December.
The North American leg of the tour was originally planned for the summer of 2023, but due to health issues, these dates were all rescheduled between December 2023 and April 2024. After 80 shows, Madonna held a final show at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The show was free, to thank her fans for their support over the past 40 years. It drew a staggering 1,6 million people, the largest crowd for a standalone concert ever.
On the first day of sales, the tour had sold-out 36 shows and counting across Toronto, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, London, Paris and more, with over 600,000 tickets sold.
Tour setlist
It was the first time Madonna hit the road without promoting a new studio album. The setlist was entirely based on her back catalog of the past four decades. "I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for," Madonna said in the announcement.

Tour crew & collaborators
Madonna worked with music producer Stuart Price for the first time since the Confessions Tour. Bob the Drag Queen (a.k.a. Caldwell Tidicue) was the special guest on all dates of the tour. Belgian choreographers Damien Jalet, who previously worked on the Madame X Tour, and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui have provided dance choreos. Marvin Gofin, Daniele Sibili and several other dancers from previous tours were included too.
Tour recording
The final show in Rio was filmed and broadcast by Globo. It is believed that this recording will be released in some format. But several shows, including the stop in Mexico City, were also filmed. So at the moment, it's not yet clear which will be the actual recording to be used for the tour release. There isn't any info yet either whether there will be any physical release, or only on a streaming platform.
