From what I know, 'Music' was indeed rehearsed but was removed during late rehearsals (post health scare) with a few other songs from the same act. I don't know if the song has been added again during this week in Manchester, but I highly doubt it.

Devastating if true. Music was literally the #1 song in the US the day I was born, and I loved the idea of hearing it live

The Drowned Tour was my first Madonna tour and Music is one of my favorites albums ☹️

Celebration as an ending song?

:/ 

It really does not go as hard as she thinks.

Also I hate that its "come join the party" .....at the end of the show.

I'm sure she'll make it work but I'd have loved a new closing number and for it to be an absolute classic.

Ray Of Light Sashas Twilo Mix would have been Epic.

No idea if this person is reliable.

This is coming from Inside The Groove, who also stated ILNY/Burning Up mashup was real….

so Who knows what the truth is

 

They also said:

The set list definitely includes Frozen, Erotica, Don't tell me, Die Another Day, La Isla Bonita, an upbeat version of DCFMA, Bedtime Stories, Ray of Light, Billie Jean/ Like A Virgin and Bitch I’m Madonna.

I pressed my hole against the side of her tour bus and felt the vibration of her new ass and could therefore determine to which song she was twerking to.

She doesn’t even have that ass anymore 💦

This "journalist" said this, and matches what Stuart said:

To make it clear, this tweet was posted hours before the interview with BBC.

Tis good. Hope Secret and You'll See are chosen this time for concert film since there's not any single hint of them in the setlist.

And, please, ENOUGH with Music. I know it's a hit, her last #1 in the US, blah, blah, blah, but if there's a song from its parent album that deserved to shine again, mostly it's Impressive Instant!!!

Unfortunately Warner didn't let her use the original version of Goodbye to Innocence and made her sing a je-ne-sais-pas thing instead (only for her to scrap it in favour of a fvcking amazing cover) so HN has automatically become her "fvck the mankind" anthem.

Okay can we please bully her and let her know all and for once how SICK AND TIRED we are of her ignoring Bedtime Stories except for fucking Human Nature. 

IT WAS THE BIGGEST FLOP FROM THAT ALBUM.

At this point HN is most the song which will be present during "Little Sparrow" credits if it happens at all.

[Andreo 5,335]

Human Nature is so uninteresting live... It just sucks. "itS aN aNtHEm" and so are many songs in her catalog, still you never see her knowledge them. Fucking ass argument. It's got so old and tired at this point it made me dislike the song (it was one of my faves back then...)

Let’s post the link to Drowned Madonna’s latest postings instead of complaining about them.

That way we can all see and discuss 👍

-Human Nature

-Holiday

-Like a Prayer

-I Don’t Search I Find

[Pretender1978 996]

anyone seriously expecting she wouldn't perform HN doesn't really have a clue what she's all about do they? Again, it's a show celebrating her 40 year career, NOT a GH show. She was always gonna do this song in one way or another

I absolutely expected her to finally ignore this non-factor and waste of setlist space for ONCE. I hope it’s just a snippet this time. I can't bear another lame performance of this song with her not hitting a single note of this song. It’s been enough.

I fully expect Candy Shop to make an appearance now.

[Shoful 8,552]

Human Nature really doesn’t translate well live. Just like Erotica unless both are completely revamped (see CT Erotica)

[MaDöner Kebab 6,897]

Imagine being Madonna and thinking:

"Mhhh what songs should I do? I'll Remember? One of my biggest songs from the 90s that I never performed in my life? Or my last big #1 hit in the US, Music? Nahhh imma do Human Nature for the 100th time and punish the world for letting my favourite song from BS tank. Oh and let me add Candy Shop as well while I'm at it. tee hee 🤭🖕🏻"

Yes, he said the show was very fixed but that Madonna herself is always unpredictable. That doesn't mean they won't add and remove songs that were already rehearsed but it doesn't sound like there will be much spontanaeity, especially without a band. It sounds like this is much more in the vein of a theatrical production, and I'm fine with that. 

[Shoful 8,552]

Is Bad Girl actually on the setlist?

You have a kind obsession with success and flop 

take a seat and relax 😂

• An older song that deals with losing her mother (only possibilities: Promise to Try, Inside of Me, or Mother and Father as someone on PopJustice alleges it was rehearsed yesterday)
• At least 3 covers: 1 she performed a long time ago (only possibilities: Imagine, Fever, Everybody is a Star, Billie Jean / Like a Virgin, A Family Affair, Just My Imagination, I Feel Love), 1 is a 70s classic seeming to relate to her health scare (maybe Stayin' Alive or I Will Survive or Born to be Alive), and 1 cover from a current artist she's collaborated with (I'm thinking Unholy since Sam Smith covered Human Nature or it could be a track by Beyonce or the Weekend)

• Hung Up on Tokisha or whatever  it's called (notice they waited until the end to leak the sad news)

• Insidethegroove also said on Twitter that Give It 2 Me, La Isla Bonita, and Don't Cry for Me Argentina are on the setlist and that Celebration is the closing song. He also says the show has a heavy drag influence with Vogue being an homage to drag

Most of the people only read the first paragraph, on the second one he said:

"Well, Madonna's reputation is for being highly precise and highly rehearsed across all departments. When you look at a tour of this scale, it has so many moving parts, so many elements, that everything has to be highly fixed.

"But there's one thing that's always dynamic, and that's Madonna herself. Her personality is so strong, her interaction with the audience is so strong, that it creates opportunities for variation from night to night."
