Madonna, the best-selling female solo touring artist of all time, is set to go on a global tour that could surpass her own touring record.
The singer announced ‘Madonna: The Celebration Tour’ yesterday (Tuesday), which will feature her catalogue of music from the past four decades.
Produced by entertainment giant Live Nation, the 35-stop tour will begin at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on July 15. Further stops include Detroit, Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles and more before heading over to Europe.
Madonna will then play shows in 11 European cities including London, Barcelona, Paris and Stockholm among others.
The Celebration Tour will then finish with a show at Amsterdam’s Ziggo Dome on December 1.
Madonna said: “I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for.”
