Madonna announced Jan. 17 that she will be going on a world tour to perform her greatest hits from the last 40 years with only two Florida stops, Sept. 7 at Amalie Arena in Tampa and a Sept. 9 at the Miami-Dade Arena.
“The Celebration Tour” announcement was made via YouTube in a nod to her 1990 film “Truth or Dare.” It shows Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Diplo, Bob the Drag Queen, Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Meg Stalter, Eric Andre, Amy Schumer and Madonna playing a not-so-friendly game of truth or dare.
The final dare is presented by Schumer as she dares Madonna to go on a world tour and play her greatest hits from the past four decades. Watch:
This will be Madonna’s 12th tour, and her first tour that will be highlighting hits from the 80’s, 90’s, and 2000’s as well as a tribute to the city of New York, where her music career 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 said in the announcement.
Bob the Drag Queen has been announced to be her special guest and will be joining Madonna on all dates of the tour for a “one-of-a-kind experience.”
On July 15 the 35-city global tour challenge will start in Vancouver as she makes her way around North America, making stops in cities such as Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Tampa, Los Angeles, etc. Madonna will then head overseas for the European leg of the tour on Oct. 14 starting in London.
Tickets go on sale Jan. 20 and Jan. 27 at 10 a.m. local time on Madonna’s website. Legacy members will have a pre-sale opportunity on Jan. 17 at 12 p.m. EST through Jan. 18 for the North American shows, and Jan. 18 at 9 a.m. GMT through 5 p.m. for the European shows.
