Re : Boxscore - we used to think in our more uneducated days that the sellout capacity was set my the promoters - now we know direct from Livenation on Madame X that they promoters just submit tickets sold (actual and audited) , but completely invent capacities / tickets available (not audited) and report whatever they like. All those years of thinking there was such a thing as a "technical sellout" when in fact its just promoters sending in tickets sold (actual) and tickets available / capacity (invented by Becky in the office).

1. I would kill for a live band. Imagine Madonna calling for "one more chorus" randomly. Dream.
2. After Australia didnt come out for her for Rebel Heart and they had to shift the dates because the demand wasn't there for the dates they had planned, id be surprised if she went back. Which is a shame for whats left of her fanbase down under as the fans she does have left there are fiercely loyal.

If I were Madonna, I would get on some major award shows in the new year, celebrating 40 years of my legacy and announce a tour off the back of that, and the excitement and rumours that have been spreading from now until then.

@andifeelis this you by any chance
For background : There is a small team of us. I host the events and do the videos / music. Others on the team work with the venue, run the social channels etc.
Madonna's management have endorsed and supported us for almost 20 years now to make sure the events are kept free with lots of giveaways, signed items, exclusive remixes & videos, marketing and advertising.
Sometimes we get exclusive information from M's team.- for example, we were given the single, exclusive news break on some of her recent live appearances directly to break to fans. As always, if and when teasers are posted, they're exactly that - teasers. Any official announcement from any artist would always be made clear as an announcement when her team deem thats appropriate and not before. So if there's a silence it's because people either know but can't say, or have been given a teaser to post without specifics - or simply don't know.

Hopefully you'll have seen from Madonna.com that her team have confirmed as as the Official Release Party for Finally Enough Love!
We have boxes of merchandise to give away at the event - sunglasses for the early people, fans, stickers, badges, merchandise - with her team popping in as usual throughout the day, you never know who may show up..
Free Entry, no ticket required, get there early and don't plan to leave til it's over

It's a shame cos they are amazing to be honest and they give amazing prizes away too
To be fair thats Madonnas team that send them through to us - we just give them away
We have to be careful when we get signed items or things like the Celebration box sets or those bloody American Life mini coopers as people get very grabby haha

I dont live too far from london and have never been to one of these events before ? im 46 though - does that make too old for this kind of thing though ??
NO! Most of us (me included) are in our mid 40s!!
Remember we've been running these for almost 20 years now - we're all a bit older than we were when we started them!
-
Ridiculous that we've been holding these now for almost 20 years! Hope to see many of you there as usual :)
The World Famous Madonna Fan Party returns to London for it's 32nd event on Saturday 27th August 2022, with doors opening from 3.30pm. Entry is free - no ticket is required. The event will run until 10pm.
Please RSVP on the Facebook Event Page to keep up to date with all the details: https://www.facebook.com/events/537179047780512
You can also follow @MadonnaFanParty on Instragram and Twitter.
As always, a limited number of 3pm Early Entry tickets will be available - as a bonus, these will come with free commemorative items and welcome shot and will be made available from Friday 13th May at 9:00am for those fans wanting to start the party early and choose their spot in the venue!
Madonna Fan Party has run in association with Madonna's direct team since 2003 and is the worlds' longest running Madonna Fan event. For almost two decades, fans join us from all over the UK and routinely fly in from all around the world to attend the event.
Madonna's management team, dancers and band have attended these events in the past and partied alongside fans. Friendships have been formed, memories have been made, and for the first time since Madonna's Madame X crew joined us in January 2020, we will Get Together once again.
As usual, Madonna's team plan to supply us with items to give away during the earlier part of the event. In the past these have included signed CDs & photos, t shirts and jewellry through to sought after promo items such as Celebration Box Sets and Broken Promo 12"s, concert tickets and guitar picks used by Madonna herself. Come dressed in your favourite Madonna t shirt - or even better dressed in an outfit inspired by the Queen!
With over three months notice, fans travelling from within the UK can benefit from cheap advanced rail tickets - check out your rail operators website.
"Finally Enough Love" is released shortly before the event, celebrating Madonna's 50 Number Ones on the Billboard Dance Chart. Not only is Madonna the most successful and biggest selling female artist of all time, she is the only artist to ever reach Number 1 50 times in any official chart. You can expect to hear Madonna's Greatest Hits & Remixes throughout this event.
We thank the management team at G-A-Y Late for working with us to ensure this free event can continue and look forward to seeing you all dance & sing, get up & do your thing on Saturday 27th August!
Follow Madonna Fan Party on social media to stay up to date with the event and join in the excitement with other fans. Our events are completely inclusive - many fans attend the events on their own and have formed lifelong friendships from our events - reach out if you're attending alone so we can make sure some of our regulars are reading to welcome you!

Awesome. Wayne used to sell CDRs of all of his mixes via Trax in Greek St (best record store ever) - ive got most of them backed up but only mp3s, so if you dont have any luck let me know
-
Make sure you get the DMC Ray Of Airscape mix of Ray Of Light - then when you get Dora's Bubble from him listen & compare.
I wish he'd done a version of it with Madonnas vocal rather than the Heather Small sample!
-
Its the Wayne G Heaven Anthem Dub. Many happy memories of dancing to this in Heaven! There's also a full vocal version.
Wayne was the main floor DJ at Heaven back in the 90s and 00s and would often get official parts of hit songs and with Porl Young (who also remixed with Peter Martine as the Sleazesisters, and G-A-Y's main floor DJ Craig Jones under the moniker Shanghai Surprise) and do his own professionally produced remixes - which were usually better than the official club remixes.
He also did another dub version of the Ray Of Light Airscape Mix (my favourite ever Madonna DMC remix) called Dora's Bubble which is anthemic.
Wayne has also done Heaven Anthem Dub remixes of Deeper & Deeper, Like a Prayer and Rescue Me, along with full vocal remixes of Deeper & Deeper, Jump off the top of my head.
Great London memories.

Thank you! If you can re-edit Come Alive too it would be great, the way they've cut the introduction on the official audio / video release is horrific.

Did anyone get the other 2 videos they showed?

You’ll have to redownload. I can listen to them in full on mega.
Sadly still not working. The 12" Alternate Remix ends at 6:31 with "Keep It To-Ge.." and then just cuts off. Same with the other one!
But they do play from the video.

The songs just cut off at the end mid way through her singing.

I made these because I wasn't really happy with the original mixes. They have way too much going on so I decided to clean them up a bit and customize them to my personal preference.
Keep It Together (12'' Alternate Remix)
This is a hybrid between the Single Mix where the verses have a more elaborate production and the 12" Remix, loosely following the structure of the Blond Ambition edit.Keep It Together (12'' Alternate Extended)
This one is the 7" Remix extended with some parts from the Extended MixThese are awesome - but the endings both cut off early - is there anyway you could re-upload as I am LOVING your work!

Some Of the Sticky & Sweet sound checks were awesome too .. Dubendorf and Werchter come to mind.
MDNA the most exciting was Glasgow where she performed Beautiful Killer for the first handful of people in the stadium and ended up doing most of the show for the sound check, maybe 55mins?
then rebel heart she changed her mind .. we saw the Paris sound check but she was angry and made everyone put cameras away.
-
Live Earth - her most powerful set on a global stage that put her back into Stadiums and led to her most successful Tour of all time (S&S) where she packed stadiums and broke records. She never returned back to those heights.
Ray Of Light Oprah - less is more. She stood there and sang. Her absolute best live vocal performance of her career.
Superbowl - whilst it all came crashing down after this with the MDNA setlist & start times, for 15 minutes she had the whole of America and many others around the world watching in awe.
I would have said Live8, but I was there and the Reinvention version of Like A Prayer fell flat on the crowd. You can see as the camera swoops over the crowd people wanting to clap and get involved but the stripped back version didnt carry. Thank god for Ray Of Light (the first song of the entire event to wake the crowd up - those scenes at the start still give me chills) and Music.

Lol who did you speak to?
Obviously we don't name names, but we've been working with her management team to run the UK Madonna Fan Party events since 2003, which her dancers, band and personal team as well as promotion team have attended over the years.
-
Still my favourite tour. I did 10 shows and could happily have done 40.

Exactly. All these fan internet rumours have become “facts” over the years with no evidence behind them.
Ive spoken to her team about this multiple times. It's true. Amazing came out, Funny Song went in.

Would of thought the theatre stages would of been pre checked for sizes before the tour rolled out?
You’d think.
that was the reason for all the the initial reschedules. Negligent routing by Livenation. Not Highly Specliazed anything.

Why would I sell stuff if I can’t afford the trip??? It’s pointless? I mean I bought stuff that I like & cherish. If I can’t at the moment it’s not the end of the world right??? She’s probably already preparing her next album/tour. Lol!
I’m glad you’ve worked out what’s important to you. No two people are the same. Understanding what you value is important as we only have one shot at life.

The Celebration Tour (No Spoilers)
in The Celebration Tour
Posted
Re : Australia being overprojected - so was the UK on Rebel Heart Tour.
There were due to be 3 O2 dates (one on 12th Dec got replaced with Zurich or somewhere), there were also second dates for Birmingham and Glasgow expected that never came off. The Livenation crew on that tour were quite loose with their mouths as they were annoyed about the start time drama lol
