As you can remember dear @musicinfernoan updated version of the stage has been released 

I really hope the Rio show isn't the primary footage they use for a later release due to how different the stage will look. 

The stage is significantly different. The side catwalks are angled and now connected at the end of the main runway. The choreography is gonna have to be revised on most songs as she used to cut through the bridges to make it from one platform to the next. And they also hinted that the main stage may be rectangular and not circular. 

Yes we know. and then there are those who have to point it out every time too. 

that’s why I said not you 😉
We have some experts on the tour that have never attended though 

I can’t believe the first Austin date is here! I’m so excited I can’t sit still lol 

I remember someone was interviewing her about consideration of adding This Used to Be My Playground, Rescue Me and other song to setlist of certain tour, and she described Rescue Me as "dope song". So that's not the reason why it was left off. 

The past couple pages were so torturous to read omfg

Just for that this thread is worth it.

Further speculation, IF Madonna didn't reject the Martin song and scrap it altogether, then she had to have purposely decided to not release it alongside or during the Celebration Tour. Martin described the track as very 80s sounding, so one would imagine that it would have worked very well with the theme of the CT. So if she is planning to release it at some point (hopefully sooner than we think!), then there had to be a reason she didn't use it with the CT promo cycle. I can think of a couple possible reasons why-
The track simply wasn't ready yet... She wanted the CT to be just her back catalog and nothing else.... And/or the new material was worthy enough of standing on its own and she wanted a separate release AFTER the tour, which coincidentally is the period we now find ourselves in.
Let's not forget that the CT evolved out of the biopic project. I speculate that as she was working on the biopic, M  became very absorbed with the idea of telling her life story. When that project fell through and/or got put on the back burner, I think she felt like she just had to run with the whole telling MY LIFE STORY thing, and lo and behold- she described the CT that exact way. I bring up that point because the fact that she did the CT doesn't mean she doesn't have enough worthy new material from her session(s) with more than one producer in the past few years, or that she has rejected the idea of ever releasing them. It could be that she was juggling two projects at once (telling her life story, and the release of new material), and she opted to keep the projects separate and release them sequentially. Seems logical, no?

I guess to make it more relevant we can pivot the discussion toward more rampant and explicit speculation. I'll get the ball rolling (again all for fun, not to be taken too seriously as some kind of pop gospel of THIS SHALL BE HAPPENING!)
Mysterious clue number 1: The snippet from the music streamer Deezer, who is an official sponsor of  M's upcoming mega gig in Brazil) uses a sample of an obscure, ie not at all popular, Ukrainian song from the late 90s... No other tracks (remakes or remixes) of this song have been uncovered by the M online community. So if it is a remake or remix that has nothing to do with M, it would have to be by another artist of an unyet released track, because this snippet contains all new production that obviously takes the "doo wee do wop" line from the original Ukrainian song into a decidedly 80s pop direction. Why would Deezer use THIS track, when as a music streamer and official sponsor of M's gig, they could use anything from her catalog? 
Intriguing clue #2: Martin himself described the track he did with M as VERY 80s sounding 🤔 
Tantalizing clue three: A day after the snippet from Deezer's social post, M's photographer posts a pic of her in the recording studio behind a microphone. Then his next post says, "Unexpected surprise" next week
Stimulating clue forty hundred B: whenever M is about to release new music, my nipples get so hard they could cut glass. And JUST THIS WEEK, I've ruined at least three tank tops... Coincidence?? 🤔 

I've decided to create this thread to keep the New album thread free from pages of speculations and stick to official anouncements. Some people can be annoyed by pages of speculations and wanna find the official new info easily. That way It's also easier to get what's official and what's speculated. 

Rebel Heart standard cover holographic sleeve coming! 

Yes. Ugh.
It's like she was trying to hype everyone up for a basketball game and not a Madonna concert.

Yep, it's DJ Mary Mac. She's horrible -- even at MDNA she put everyone to sleep when I saw her in Houston and that first night in Dallas was terrible. When she played God Control and expected people to pop and they didn't; so she swapped to other songs. 

Oh no was it DJ Mary Mac lol

More than likely this broadcast similar to a festival concert then her official/curated release by her team. Though it may be sold to a streaming service since Madame X never got a physical video release. 

OK THIS IS NOT A DRILL! GUYS I’VE JUST WON THE ITAU EMPLOYEE’S PRIZE DRAW! 😭 They selected 100 Itaú’s bank officers and I am one of them! Still can’t believe it! I’ll be sooooo close to the stage 😭😭😭

This! One of the few left I need to complete my collection.

That ain’t his pants
