By deleting all of her Instagram posts on Sunday, Madonna was setting up a rumor mill, which she shut down herself on Tuesday morning. The Queen of Pop will begin a world tour in July, which will visit the Bell Center on August 19, and she promises to play all her hits.
The interpreter of Like a Virgin and hung-up confirmed the news early Tuesday via video, a nod to his 1991 documentary Madonna: Truth or Dare in which she plays truth or consequence with a group of star friends. At the table with her? Comedians Meg Stalter, Kate Berlant, Eric Andre and Amy Schumer, DJ Diplo, director Judd Apatow, actors Jack Black and Larry Owens, rapper Lil Wayne and Bob The Drag Queen. Only that.
“Madonna, I dare you to go on tour and play your tabarouettes of best hits” (our translation, a little redacted), Amy Schumer tells Madonna, who wonders for her part if her admirers will really want to come and dance at the his greatest hits from the four decades spanning his vast career. Do you really doubt it, Madame Ciccone?
Title Celebrationthe tour will also pay tribute to New York, where it all began for the singer, and will visit 35 North American and European cities, from July to December 2023.
The last stop in Montreal for the icon, now 64, dates back to September 9, 2015, during her Rebel Heart Tour. His Madam X Tour (2019 and 2020) had not included Quebec on its itinerary.
Tickets for the August 19 show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at www.madonna.com.
