I see that many people mention Celebration in the setlist and I wonder if they include this song because the tour has the same name and it is almost a fact that it will be in the official setlist or they include it because they really like the song. Something I'd like to check because Celebration is one of my favorite songs so I wouldn't mind if she sings it again at the end of this tour including snippets from Back Up to the Beat.

For me the best end of the show was the Mdna Tour thanks to this same song and it would be interesting to see if she can surpass herself and do much better than on that occasion.

I love Celebration and would include it in my set-list. I Loved it at the MDNA tour, and think it would fit perfectly among her biggest hits... and of course it also matters that it is the name of the tour.

NRM fits the theme of the FEL album well and I also would love to see her put a modern twist on the song

[chaosmen1984mk 467]

Although I am against the idea of Madonna copying (fortunately she has done it very few times in her entire career) I would like her to use a Kiss Cam on this 2023 tour just like Miley Cyrus did on one of her tours. It would definitely be something very exciting and fun because you never know if the camera is going to focus on you but if you are lucky enough to be focused then you should kiss the person next to you. Scenes like this abounded throughout Miley Cyrus's tour and I would like Madonna to do the same as it would add excitement and fun to this already highly anticipated tour by the whole world.

I think the perfect song for this moment would be Forbidden Love from the album Confessions on the Dance Floor.

I don't mind the setlist but the band should be the same as girlie show tour. Drums Omar Hakim / Guitar Paul Pesco (at least) and musical director Jai Winding. No one has understood Madonna's music like this man.

I have a feeling the setlist and its interpretations will draw, at least partly, from Finally Enought Love.

Imagine her performing Junior's remix of Secret.

Edited January 20 by MADinNE

[MPowered 2,682]

Not my ideal setlist but very much along the lines of what I'm expecting, something a little more realistic:

THE CELEBRATION TOUR

I DANCETERIA
NYC-inspred, Video Intro shows Madonna getting dropped off in the middle of NYC and entering Danceteria. The section represents Madonna's rise to fame and landing her first record deal with the help of mark Kamins and Jellybean. She is wearing a Keith Haring-inspired costume and the backdrop images are inspired by Andy Warhol and Basquiat. 

Taxi - Introduction (with samples from "Jump", "Stay", "I Love New York" & "Like a Virgin")

1. Everybody / Celebration / Music (with samples from "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life", "Heartbeat" & "Like a Virgin")
2. Lucky Star / Impressive Instant (with samples from "Get Together", "Levitating" & "I Don't Search I Find")
3. Crazy for You
4. Beautiful Stranger // Burning Up (both on guitar)

II BOY TOY
This section is mostly inspired by Madonna's signature "Like a Virgin" look and her marriage with Sean Penn. She's wearing a modern interpretation of the iconic wedding dress that will lose several layers as the sections progresses.

Dress You Up - Interlude (with samples from "Angel")

5. Like a Virgin / Hollywood
6. Material Girl / Back That Up to the Beat (with samples from "Material Gworrllllllll")
7. Open Your Heart / Borderline
8. Live to Tell

III SACRILEGE
This section deals with Madonna's complicated relationship with her Catholic belief and her first major media backlash after the release of her SEX book, whilst simultaneously becoming a gay rights activist. It also represents her journey from "the slut" to being a mother and her spiritual awakening. Her costume will be inspired by her recent Vanity Fair shoot.

Erotica / Justify My Love - Interlude (with samples from "Human Nature" & "What It Feels Like for a Girl")

9. Vogue / Deeper and Deeper (with samples from "Break My Soul" & "Rescue Me")
10. Papa Don't Preach / Die Another Day
11. Like a Prayer (with samples from "Living for Love", "Drowned World/Substitute for Love" & "House of God")
12. Secret (with samples from "Nothing Really Matters" & "Nothing Fails") // The Power of Good-Bye
13. Frozen (with samples from "Frozen (Sickick Remix)" & "Isaac")

IV HOMECOMING
This section will represent Madonna's endless fight against ageism, bigotry and injustice. Ironically, the clothing and arrangement of the songs will be inspired by Americana aesthetics. The songs will be accompanied by a marching band 

Sorry / American Life - Interlude (with samples from "Human Nature" & "Nobody Knows Me")

14. Express Yourself / 4 Minutes (with samples from "Give Me All Your Luvin'" & "The Star-Spangled Banner")
15. Into the Groove / Causing a Commotion
16. Don't Tell Me // Cherish // True Blue
17. Ray of Light (Slow March Version going into Uptempo Version)

V FIESTA
A big, celebration of Madonna's love for Latin culture. The interlude will be a reinterpretation of the original song with Madonna reflecting back on her career. The songs will be remixed to have more of a Latin/Reggaeton vibe.

Don't Cry for Me Argentina - Interlude

18. Take a Bow // I'll Remember // This Used to Be My Playground
19. La Isla Bonita / Who's That Girl / Medellín
20. Hung Up / Give It 2 Me (with samples from "Hung Up on Tokisha")
21. Holiday / Girl Gone Wild / Bitch I'm Madonna (with samples from "Celebration" & "Where's the Party")

/ = Medley, Mashup
// = Alternate song choices

[Jackie 5,161]

So let's break the hits down, that I think the General Public will respond to:

80's: 24 songs 

 Lucky Star, Borderline, Burning Up, Everybody, Into The Groove, Gambler, Causing A Commotion, Papa Don't Preach, Live to Tell, Like a Prayer, Dress You Up, Angel, Crazy For You, Material Girl, Like a Virgin, Holiday, Everybody, Open Your Heart, Who's that Girl, Live to Tell, True Blue, La Isla Bonita,  Express Yourself, Cherish.

90's: 15 songs 

Vogue, Keep it Together, Hanky Panky, Justify My Love, Rescue Me, This Used to be my Playground,  Erotica, Deeper and Deeper, Rain, I'll Remember, Take a Bow, Frozen, Ray Of Light, Beautiful Stranger, Secret, 

00's: 5 songs 

Music, Don't Tell Me, Hung Up, Sorry, 4 Minutes, 

10's: 2 songs - Give Me All Your Luvin' and Crave

But, she might do more 80's given there's such a vast catalogue of hits back then -

She’ll definitely do something from American Life and less from Erotica given her tour stats. Also, I believe 4 Minutes is hard for her to do cause it’s a duet. She'll probably do Give It 2 Me instead.

Overall, she has 44 US & UK (combined) Top 5 hit singles:

His sound was miles better than whatever the fuck has been going on after CT. 
Her current musical director makes backing tracks that sound like damn karaoke tracks on a casio. Especially the versions from MDNA and RHT sound very thin and cheap.

[chaosmen1984mk 467]

Despite the fact that this tour is based on the successes of the Queen of pop throughout her career, I am sure that the setlist will include a cover by another artist, something that has become customary since previous tours. Imagine, La Vie en Rose and Sodade are some examples. Personally I would love for Madonna to sing Time Out from the World by the Goldfrapp duo, a song whose style fits perfectly with Madonna's and is a song that figuratively transports me to another universe every time I listen to it. In addition, Madonna has declared several times that she loves Goldfrapp so I don't see it as difficult for this to be carried out, which I would love.

So far there are three suggestions that I make for this new tour and that I would like Madonna's team to take into account: Appearing dressed as a queen full of jewels on her throne at the beginning of the show, using a Kiss Cam and finally to cover this Goldfrapp song and it would be amazing to see that my suggestions are taken into account once the tour begins whose expectation to know all the details and the setlist is already consuming me from now on.

since 2010 I work on a commemorative tour for the celebration in a reality where S&S 2009 would not happen and the tour would start in 2010. I really don't think anything between 2012 and 2022 is usable for the show, so I'm going to do this virtual tour based on 2010.
