I think the leaked dates will not be announced anytime soon. My guess is they’ll announce it all in June :(

It actually makes more sense to announce all of them together. A lot more hype since it’s going to be stadiums as well, plus much closer to the first date.

Yeah, been noticing that…the Future Nostalgia Tour was another very underwhelming production. Expected a lot more given the success of that album and tour sales.

Really hoping Madonna pulls out all the stops for the show production…she hasn’t blown me away since MDNA.

Does it matter though?  She's selling out and may have the highest grossing tour this year.  What's basic to you, might be the whole point in keeping things simple, and her saving money.  Majority of people who tour for their career, simply have a stage, their equipment and that's that.  Most people are fine with that, as long as they can see and hear their favorite act perform.  I suppose Taylor can afford more than that, but why should she?  It's not like her tour is flopping.  People are lapping it up.

I guess that speaks more of her main fans than anything. All she has to really do apparently is bring out snake statues and change constantly. I do enjoy a good bit of her music and I would go just for the music if I did. But you’re right why do more when less is fine. I’ve been to the last two Twenty One Pilots tours and all they do is take all the last tour themes, reorganize them around the current eras them and call it a night. The fans eat it up. Madonna brings out the Latin and or religion section and we groan hahahaha

Exactly.  Most acts keep it pretty simple and like you said, rarely change their setlists from tour to tour, besides maybe for the new songs they are promoting.  There are more bands throughout the world who do very low key shows.  You also have those very popular bands who play at bars and out door tents, etc.  Of course, they are not as popular or successful as Madonna, but in there are for more small bands/artists out there than big scaled artists.  I guess the only issue I would have is ticket prices.  There is no way I would $200+ for a ticket unless they are putting on something more than an average stage show. :)

I know this is a Madonna forum and people love to judge other acts off still photos and blurry potato-quality TikToks since her team blocked all the HD videos, but there's no world in which Taylor's STAGE itself is cheap or basic lol.  It's the same hydraulic platform setup that Madonna herself has used since MDNA for both the main stage AND the center diamond, the entire catwalk floor is a screen and ringed by pyro, and there are a ton of theatrical props and sets that pop out throughout the show.

It's by far the most expensive stage she's had and even bigger than Reputation.

I have to agree.  My comments above, were made before I knew what her shows were really like.  I was curious and started to seek out what her shows are like just a little bit ago and while I don't have an issue if she put on something more simple, but what I saw, was hardly "basic".

The Eras Tour stage is one of the largest, most expensive, technologically complex stages ever built and has a massive production, massive set pieces, and large theatrical presentations that few artists have ever presented on stage on that scale. I mean the Folklore Cabin alone is probably larger than the Gang Bang motel set. It's far from a cheap, ramshackle production.

Her stage is stunning but huge… that's why it looks bare. I’m not a fan but she has the fans in the palm of her hand while on stage… she doesn’t need a massive visual.

Or some people just think that she is extremely basic and bland. 

I enjoy a few of her songs, but she’s pretty average to look at and to listen to.

I’d go to one of her concerts, but I wouldn’t pay for it.

It just goes to show that money is less important than actual creativity

I'm not into Taylor's music, but all this chat about her tour made me check out her stage and… damn. If this is basic for some of y'all, then I'm curious about what you could do as Madonna's stage producer. 

Imagine M doing this after singing Swim:

 

This must be the two biggest highlights because everything I saw on YouTube was bland compared to these little snippets.

Yes it matters. That is the difference between a real artist and a manufactured pop star. I saw Bjork last week and her show was amazing. Taylor Swift looks like a McDonalds commercial in comparison. Money can't buy you real artistry.

except if Madonna did an "eras" tour, she'd take 6 hours and die on stage on first date. Just the hits alone it would be like 50 songs, lmao.

The first one Madonna has done that staging already at the MDNA with the cubes. In fact it seemed way more advanced and it was a decade ago. 

The second video i agree though. And it's literally the only thing i saw from this tour that made me go "ok that was nice!"

I like Taylor but she's not a popstar per say...she's a singer songwriter and she shines when it's just her and a guitar.

Most of her numbers on this tour don't look anything like that 2nd video you posted. In fact, that's the highlight. (speaking of staging only).

One thing i always liked that Madonna does is having actual props on stage than relying mostly on screens. I'm sure this next tour the same will happen.
