Messiah

In a moment of insanity today I bought MY THIRD ticket of the tour for January 23rd at Madison Square Garden. I already have a ticket for Houston in March and Austin in April. I AM SO EXCITED.

So it's time to "Celebrate".  The tour of all Madonna tours is kicking off in London, and it's time for the INFINITY forum to discuss it all.  If you're avoiding any spoilers, this is the thread to avoid.  The rest of us are about to party!  No holds barred!  Let's start the "Celebration" and discuss the tour explicitly!!

Me too. It's the only thing that makes me a bit reluctant, but then again I don't want to judge before seeing it.
(I'm also not a fan of drag shows, in general... so probably that's why I'm not very keen on the idea of Bob being part of the show. )

I’m still so skeptical about Bob the Drag Queen. That feels like the key variable to whether this show will be incredible or a mess 

Nah… (You just hate that record. Wink. Wink.). She and Price did a podcast out of the blue a while back (but recently) where they both raved about how much fun they had with that record… and it sounded very legit. And I still say she created her best tour off of that record. So she certainly put a lot of thought and effort into it.
More — after a long absence, Price is BACK.

Yes, they’re legit and they seem just like the original versions (from what you can hear from such low quality audio).
Don’t Tell Me was the only one without audio,  it you could see some orange / dark red visuals with horses.

Damn, that low quality 5 seconds clip already sent me to heaven. She looks stunning and it sounds really beautiful! 

SHE LOOKS FABULOUS!!! Like a combination of S&S Tour, Rebel Heart and Madame X!
Also it seems that there are at least TWO LIVE MUSICIANS at this song!! Not full band obviously, but sommusicians will be there!!

The song doesn't deserve to be in full in the tour because of fucking charts?? Is it a joke? It's not a compilation, it's a tour, a live show. Now I know why I never cared about charts 😁

Wtf is going on, I just got here and I saw a Hung up on Tokischa pic pasted 4 times already

When she ends up doing two lines from Bad Girl before going into another boring-ass performance of Inhuman Creature

Same. It's clearly her manifesto at this point. MDNA version was fire and the trumpet-assisted Madame X arrangement is bliss. 

I really don't understand the hate for HN, I think it's one of the tracks she always performed in an interesting way, from the moving mirrors to the rockish arrangement to the gorgeous trumpet/cage version of Madame X. It's definitely a signature track for her character and I think for herself too and the song is still so good for me, funky, dirty and ironic. I love it.
All the four tracks revealed today are excellent choices imo, happy 

Based upon news / observations of the past few days we have the following rumors / observations:
Everybody (album version - heard in an IG video) Crazy for You (sounds reinvented - heard on Twitter) Bitch I'm Madonna (on paper) Like a Virgin / Billy Jean (on paper) Don't Tell Me (album version - heard on IG) Nothing Really Matters (lyrics posted / DM confirmed) Vogue (Bob confirmed) Holiday (Bob confirmed) A few tracks that were never singles ("setlist filled with her singles - with only a few exceptions") 3 "classic" singles that have "never been performed on tour" (NRM, Bad Girl, and Bedtime Story) Hollywood, American Life, and Rescue Me are not on the setlist (according to PopJustice) At least 1 track from Confessions (according to PopJustice) Potentially a 30 track setlist (seen on IG) - Stuart Price says 25 performed tracks with 20 additional songs mashed up / extrapolated throughout the show within that set Assumed tracks based upon DM's teasers:
Live to Tell Nothing Really Matters Ray of Light Bad Girl Oh Father Die Another Day Don't Tell Me Rain Bedtime Story Erotica Everybody Sorry Open Your Heart Crazy for You Give Me All Your Luvin (Why??) Like a Prayer A non-single from Rebel Heart that has NEVER been performed before (only possibilities: Hold Tight, Inside Out, Wash All Over Me, Auto-Tune Baby, Best Night, Veni Vidi Vici, Messiah, Beautiful Scars, Borrowed Time, Addicted, Graffiti Heart) 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) 1 mashup of an older Madonna song with a late 70s track Papa Don't Preach Justify My Love Hung Up on Tokisha or whatever  it's called (notice they waited until the end to leak the sad news) Into the Hollywood Groove?? or hints of a Into the Groove mashup Human Nature I Don't Search, I Find Holiday Random social media rumors:
A Twitter user alleges I Love New York / Burning Up are mashed up (User @insidethegroove) Someone said they pressed their ear against a door and heard Get Together A person walking down the street alleges they heard Hung Up / Hung Up on Tokisha mashed up On PopJustice someone said she'll perform / use Chic's "I Want Your Love" in some capacity (maybe the mashup mentioned above) 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

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.

Great - you should take a black and white poloroid of it so we can see how much cooler you are. Make sure to include your cat!

I think I was correct.
 
I Want Your Love by Chic.

Hope it cums early (though I usually hate when that happens…)…I just got to London and have been awake since 5:30 AM yesterday in DC 
Does anyone know when she moves to the O2? Was thinking of walking over there after I check in to my hotel. I wanna see this flag.
