    I have all the faith in Madonna still being the formidable entertainer she time and time again proves to be, but TV has never really been on her side since the mid 90's, she just gets too nervous for it. I think it's cute but the GP see only this so they get a wrong impression of what kind of a performer she really is

    Bravo!   I agree.  TV hasn't been her medium. And, in my mind, or rather my expectation for the Celebration Tour is a Rebel Heart Tour level performance/energy.  Something about M... if she's considered down and out, she will wow us even more than we initially thought.  She's formidable when her health and overall well being is top notch.  From all of the reports, she hasn't been.  Something tells me she is rectifying that as I type this.  Looking forward to the tour!

  3. I second the sentiment of the emotions for opening night.  Now we know she is mobile and on the mend, we can all have a collective sigh of relief that some normalcy can be attained.  I am not sure we will see a tour this year. This is only a guess and I have no solid reason to say, but my guess is the whole tour is being rebooked.  If Guy/LiveNation/TicketMaster don't say anything in about 48 days, then they risk auto-refunds I believe.  They don't want that.  My guess is the silence is them all working to rebook. Why not start in Mexico top of the year and then move from then on after she has had time to completely rest/heal and rehearse.  

    All in all, great news today.

  4. I wish I could instantly shut all this chat down about her behaviour over the last few years.  I don't believe she has followed the same healthy strict lifestyle we've known her to live in her years past.  

    My guess is, to avoid another Michael Jackson-esque scenario, and insurance carriers and promoters being put on notice about her health, age and daily routine, for the tour to continue she may need a monitor or a non-negotiable person to oversee her health to make sure the $$ backing her is secured.  

    this is only a guess, but I would expect powers that be would want someone to make sure she is ok to proceed and ... once she does proceed on tour, she must stay in that zone of better health.  its not uncommon in big showbiz, for high profile people that may not be 100% prior to a huge project to have to be under strict guidelines in order for the project to proceed.  

    If I were her, i'd welcome it.

     

  5. Madonna is likely going to have to expand both the setlist and the duration of the run of a single show.  This is simply to stay in lock step with her contemporaries already touring at similar pricing.

    Both Beyonce and Taylor Swift have over 40 tracks and 3 hours.  Given this is a greatest hits tour for M, she has more hits than all of them, its logical to conclude this recent setlist on this thread is innaccurate.

    I also just want to add that I am excited as the weeks and months go by. I can see her taking us on a journey. I don't want to give Taylor that much credit, if at all, but I can see this being Madonna's own "Eras Tour" since it's 40 years of hits, a legacy, an impact, and being a pop culture icon. I can see her revamping and putting modern twists to her classics, since she gets bored easily doing the same thing over and over (I would, too).

    There's no doubt she will do the same with her wardrobe, from the iconic wedding dress in LAV and at the VMA's (can't believe the 2003 performance is now 20 years old -- she should totally reference that at some point), to the Material Girl/Marilyn Monroe dress, the Blond Ambition cone-shaped bra, Dita, Evita, etc. She kind of did that with her Hung Up Tokischa remix when she dyed her hair red and ditched the pink leotard with a pink, Adidas-inspired tracksuit dress. She even wore blue sweats since that's what she originally wore in the 2005 video before she took it off to reveal the pink leotard. Point is, she's very intentional in what she does, and it's all about the details. After all, she is a natural-born artist/creative and perfectionist. 

    We talk a lot about the potential songs she may be performing, but I will be in such awe with the visuals, from the wardrobe and the backdrops/videos. It would be nice if she has interludes with her dancers and backdrop videos (while she's changing in her next outfit/costume) that will paint a story of each era or moment in her career to introduce the next segue/chapter of the setlist. She usually has 4-5 acts (with and without an encore) for each tour, so who knows if each act may be a specific decade? 

    She and Tony have been very cryptic with their posts, but an homage to Keith, Basquiat, and Burgoyne would be nice (which she's been rocking thanks to Honey Dijon making Keith Haring outfits for sale). 

    I get people are mixed with Bob the Drag Queen. Can't say I watch RuPaul's Drag Race or listen to Bob's podcast, but I think he's funny and entertaining. The LGBTQ+ community was there for Madonna and vice-versa. She's put her money where her mouth is with AIDS charities and giving members platforms. People may get upset but everything is political in this day and age, so it's nice that a Black, pansexual, non-binary performer will be touring with her where it's getting awful here in the U.S for the community. To give him a platform and to give him a space to be seen and heard is incredible. 

    Can't wait! 

    I could be wrong, but I've always understood Bob The Drag Queen to be the opening act.  He won't be a deterrent as he's not a musical act and can liven up the room with humor and pro-love/anti-hate messaging.  I have stayed quiet on the Taylor tour... I know she's had to re-record her works to be free from contractual BS, but calling a tour at her age Era's is premature... I know she's the biggest thing since sliced bread at the moment, and this tour is extremely successful for her, but Eras for Taylor is just not my cup of tea.  She's not my cup of tea but thats ok.

    I do see Madonna, like Taylor, doing a longer set lit for her tour.  Madonna has so many tracks to choose from and a lot of shorter edits are likely.... thinking intro section for MDNA Tour.  I also could see a section of the tour like in Rebel Heart where she does a spontaneous different song each night to appease the crowds.

    Please, no more fanmade lists. Try to control your OCD.

    Nito84bcn, I'll be clear and direct.
    Madonna Infinity forum is a place for fans to express themselves and talk about the topics they want to speak on in reference to whatever thread is created.  This has always included dream setlists.  It is inappropriate to associate our members with childish or OCD behavior for simply doing what this forum was designed for.  Please refrain further from making these posts.  A warning has been given.

    Taylor is making history right now: First artist with all 10 songs in the Billboard 100

    I gave Taylor's album a good honest try/listen.  They all sound the same and was missing catchy pop hooks and the special "something".  I am perplexed how she does so well with that body of work, but its not up to me to judge... apparently she has some magic I just can't grasp.  But more power to her and good for her!  Its just not for me.

    I was reacting to "Madonna hasn't gone on tour since 2015", the parenthesis seemed even more picky and ludicrous to me. She did several shows in different venues in many countries. What does it take to count as a tour, ffs?

    Underestimate what? Does she have to sing in front of zillions of people to prove anything? I was at a TV show recording during RH promo, probably 200 or 300 hundred people in the room and she gave it all, and it felt like we were 10 thousand.

    For MXT, she wanted to tour differently and she delivered. (And in comparison, MDNAT is one of the worst shows I ever attended, even at le Stade de France)

    The atmosphere at Le Grand Rex in Paris was grand and the crowd was more than enthusiastic. You can't change that.

    A hall with 3000 seats is NOT small.

    You seem like you need to be right on this topic.  Ok, I concede... You're right.  But what I said wasn't wrong.  

    We can debate about many things and that's great discord.  But what isn't debatable for most concertgoers, is being able to tell the difference between enjoying a show in an arena or enjoying a show in a theater.  We can make that distinction pretty easily on our own.

    Jeez people what do you need.

     

    oddly, I agree about the audiences for Madame X tour... I tell people all the time, When you walk into an arena or stadium to see Madonna... There is an energy/magic/force that is palpable. You can feel it.  I never felt that for the theatre venues she did for MX tour.  It told me clearly that Madonna's power live comes from a large venue to showcase her spectacle.  I think for the MX tour, Madonna under-estimated herself... It didn't need to be in those small venues.  MX tour could have rocked harder in arenas.  If M can pull of an amazing, soft, touching moment like True Blue or powerful, sad, intense Heartbreak City/Love Don't Live Here Anymore on RHT, any track from MX tour could have worked very well in an arena.... Not sure the theatre option was best... for her mystique and power.  Just my opinion.

    Sorry. I gotta call this out. I've worked in Marketing at a major entertainment venue for the last decade. I've had lots of big name acts come through. I've never seen a headline act start three hours late from the ticket time. Never. Does it happen in other venues occasionally? I'm sure when there are circumstances that warrent it. But no, it's not the norm.

    Staff gets a run-time sheet days -sometimes weeks before a show. Assuming it was an 8pm ticket, they usually run like this:

    • 7:00pm -- Doors open

    • 8:00-8:30pm -- support act

    • 9pm - Headliner; 85 minute runtime; no intermission

    Deviating from the run-time sheets almost always incur overtime costs for the, mainly local, union stage crew but also the venue staff. Penalties are usually built into contracts so this doesn't happen. I suspect this is why a lot of stops on her previous tours had abbreviated setlists: the venue threatened fines for a late start time and pushing their crew into overtime.

    Yes, I as a longtime Madonna fan, know that she won't start on time. I expect it and plan my night around it.

    But lets not pretend that starting 3 hours after the ticketing time is normal behavior. I work in this industry. It's not.

    I hear you and respect your position.  But you've also proven my point, somewhat.  And I will agree with all of you that had to wait 3 hours. after an opening act, that is not common where I've been to see Madonna.  Maximum about 1.5 hours after opening act.

    For all the fans that say "but she's the Queen, she only tours every 4 years, she's worth waiting for, etc. etc." about the 11 PM start times...

    ...let's do a little exercise here for a second.

    What if you were at a Beyonce concert that had a ticket time of 7:30 PM and she showed up at 11 PM and you couldn't get home because all public transportation shut down, along with having to go to work the next day?

    What if you were at a Taylor Swift concert that had a ticket time of 7:30 PM and she showed up at 11 PM and you couldn't get home because all public transportation shut down, along with having to go to work the next day?

    What if you were at an Adele concert that had a ticket time of 7:30 PM and she showed up at 11 PM and you couldn't get home because all public transportation shut down, along with having to go to work the next day?

    They're all "Queens" smashing with records in different areas of pop music as well. They're idolized by their respective fan bases. So, do you think the fans would all just accept it and say "well, they're the Queen, they can do what they want"?

    No, it's a ridiculous assertion, and you all know a big chunk of their fanbases -- and you -- would be absolutely LIVID if it was any other artist that was doing what Madonna does. I've not been to a single concert in the 80+ shows I've seen that ended past 11-11:15 PM for any other artist. The latest anyone else has come on is 9:15 - 9:30, and even that has felt very late at times. Madonna is the grand exception to this, and honestly, even as a huge fan, I'm sick of the hassle that going to see her can be. I don't want to go to work the next day on 2-3 hours of sleep due to her not being able to show up on time. No, I can't just "take off the day because Madonna is worth it".

    It's unacceptable for any artist to do it. Madonna is no exception. It's unprofessional and disrespectful. Period.

    Sure, hell, some fans here would be fine with her starting at 5 AM. They'd be fine with setlists full of Candy Shop and I'm Going Bananas.

    The general public -- the audience who is *actually* making it possible for her to put on big arena and stadium shows -- is absolutely NOT fine with this, and they're the ones paying a big chunk of her bills.

    I really think there's some delusional optimism taking place right now about selling out a big arena or stadium tour...she may be able to sell out a very limited run of dates, but by and large, she's left a bad taste in the mouths of many, many tour attendees and ex-fans, and I'm not sure she ever is going to fully recover with her touring reputation.

    We'll see what happens. I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong.

    Never in the history of popstars.... has any popstar... started at the start time of the time on the ticket.  Ever.... That's the time the Venue (usually) opens its doors or the opening act begins. Usually, the main act starts 30 mins to 1 hour after the opening act ends.  So lets count the time.  Even if the opening act begins at 8pm, and lately for Madonna that means the DJ act spinning records will end around 9pm-ish.  She's not starting until closer to 10pm generally.  This should not surprise anyone and if your transportation issues are ever in question or possibly may not be running by the time the show ends, that is still the responsibility of the concert goer to arrange.  Not sure how old people are, but if you've been going to concerts (in the USA) since the 80s, you should know this.

     

    Carry on.
