"The Rebel Heart Tour" to be Madonnas' Final Tour?

[Victoration88 0]

I've read online that this upcoming tour is to be Madonnas' Farewell Tour... i need to know if this is true because if so i will be going to more than just the 2 shows here in Miami. I'll also travel to San Juan, Pr for both shows and most likely go to the 3 shows planned in NYC.... im very sad to think that our Queen may be bowing out with this tour, and with the Live Nation contract coming to an end with this tour as well im worried the rumors may be true. can anyone confirm or deny this information please?

It'd be wise honestly. No disrespect,but Madonna's primary source of income for the past ten years has been doing touring,along with every other artist. Nobody makes money through selling records anymore because of streaming services,torrenting,YouTube,etc,and people of the general public are getting sick of her attention-seeking antics. Obviously everyone universally agrees that Madonna is a legend and untouchable,but the way she's promoted herself in the last three years hasn't been the best. Her newer music has been overshadowed by her causing controversy,even though that's what she's known for,the threshold has just come undone.

I doubt it, unless its a greatest hits tour. 

 

Yes the public are sick of her but that doesn't mean she can't turn it around, she has in the past. Mid 90s anyone? 

[Drum Dub 1,883]

I don't think so, there will be another album, and probably then the farewell tour.

[KB02 32]

Being the marketing / businesswoman she is, I think she would have promoted this as the final tour to sell a bunch of extra tickets. The only way I see this being the final tour is if LiveNation decides not to work with her again and nobody else decides to either. I think her final tour will be an extended world tour where a) she plays many nights in JUST big markets only  (NYC/CHICAGO/LA/BUENOS AIRES/LONDON/PARIS/ROME/TOKYO/SYDNEY etc) or b) she does as many nights as she can in all places around the world.

I think that Rebel Heart Tour will be not the last.

 

I think that next tours will be more relaxed, no so many dance routines.

[Yung Rapunxel 2,174]

She is just 56, she will be able to dance in her 60s, from 70s that it's to think about

[Hess87 30]

I don't think this will be her final tour, you can see this year she still loves performing! I believe she will be on stage for many more years and tour cities as well, just maybe not that often.

[Guslion 16]

I hope it isn't, i think it isn'tI think there will be not a Farewell Tour, she will just do her albuns and tours like there is always one more next, I think she will only stop when she dies, so...

[stefo 6,277]

No, we surely would have been aware of it if so. But I think the next one could be the last. 

 

Now the interesting thing is actually to see the artistic direction for this one imo:

• [*]still so much dancing all the time or a combination of dance and coreos based on theatrical effects? [*]any new idea (I mean really new) or updated reworks of the old ones? [*]a balanced selection of more intimate and more funny songs from her huge catalogue or still prevalently fun?
  

For me this is the time to give a real example of reinvention and rethinking, I would love it.

The 'Rebel Heart tour' sounds like neither a farewell nor a greatest hits tour to be honest. It's just another excuse to go on tour with new music under the sleeve. I don't see her retiring til she's 65 or something. She's tough, she's ambitious, she's Madonna.

People also said Drowned world tour was her farewell tour back in 2001

And only because she had already turned 41! Some people really need a reality check. It's always and only been up to Madonna's own will to keep on touring the world. Period.

LOL she's not anywhere near her last tour.  bitch loves the process and the crowds too much.  and the money.  and i think as her kids grow up they're gonna be more involved in the "family business" and they'll be involved in her productions and whatnot.  

[mickeyderon 457]

I don't think it will be her last tour personally. She would have promoted it as a farewell tour in the first place.  I think she will still tour at least one more time after this tour. Somehow I think she will be touring a lot longer than we expect, I would say the tours may change in terms of dance routines but maybe not who knows.  I think a more intimate setting would be interesting like completely scaled down or at least the inclusion of some of her classic ballads - you'll see anyone ??!!

The other reason is I have never seen Madonna live so she can't not too. I either never have enough money or its completely the wrong time.  Therefore she can't retire from touring yet.

I have heard and posted about this many times.

 

--Very clear during the recording of this album, the producers have let slip they (originally) thought this would be her last album-- a double album to satisfy the contract.

--But Madonna, like Cher, would need to capitalize on any notice of Farewell and that has not happened.

 

I do think overall, Madonna may be toying with the concept of a working retirement shifting into directing more or producing music for other artists.  The end is near.  Whether or not its now is unclear.

madonna said 3 yeargo ago.....I wanna do music til I'm 90....

[LUKESAVANT 1,208]

working retirement does not mean she won't do music.  It means she's not under contract anymore.  Madonna will always have something to say.  Its just when she says it soon will be on her terms vs. a clockwork 2-3 year cycle.

 

But really, it doesn't matter.  I know what the tone was during the recording and producing sessions.  This concept of transitioning is on the table.  When is up for debate.

[Messiah 98]

of course not. 

[o_g_c_x 2,785]

I think that it will be her last tour as a "typical" tour as the previous ones.

 

I think She will be touring after Rebel Hear tour but doing another type of performances and venues.

[madgefan 10,137]

To think about her retirement just make me so sad and worried cause I honestly can't imagine a world without Madonna's current music... I know we already have Miley, Gaga, Katy, Lana, Selena, Ariana, Britney and so on and they're good in their own way. However, it's just not enough, all thiese girls lack what Madonna oozes from day one: BALLS!!

[Fighter 28,797]

i wish this was her last album with interscope though.

Interscope working for Madonna =

I don't think we will get an announcement. It will just happen. The way the 8 year gap between Girlie Show and Drowned World did. She isn't one to make such statements. After WTG she said she'd never tour again and same after BAT (both privately and revealed in later interviews). Then she planned to tour in 1995 and 1999 and it never happened as other things came up.

 

Honestly that's how it will happen. Without a contract to be held to and the freedom to do what she wants I think one day after she hasn't toured for a few years someone will ask her if she plans to tour again and she will just say "probably not but never say never" but it just won't happen.

 

I do get the feeling she will do one more big album and tour and then both music and touring will be sporadic and on a much smaller scale and will be basically more to satisfy her hunger for performing rather than the way she has always done it.

[Wildhope 3]

I really hope not. I think it might be last time doing it extensively.
