Madonna Celebration Tour: Explore the Setlist for Her Iconic Career-Spanning Show: The Celebration Tour serves not only as a tribute to Madonna’s four decades of pop superstardom but also as a poignant reminder that, despite others following in her footsteps, she continues to reign as the queen.
Madonna’s 79-show tour, initially delayed due to a serious bacterial infection, showcases the pop icon performing over two dozen hits for a duration exceeding two hours. The setlist features a revival of many songs, such as “Justify My Love,” “Everybody,” and “Live To Tell,” which haven’t been regularly performed in decades. This seven-month run offers fans a rare opportunity to experience these classics live once again.
At the age of 65, Madonna kicked off the North American leg of her tour with a three-night engagement at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, commencing on December 13. Alongside her 24 onstage performers, the tour is set to visit various cities, including Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Houston, concluding with a finale in Mexico City on April 26.
