Madonna’s Celebration Tour setlist has been confirmed – and it’s one iconic hit after another
Madonna kicked off her eagerly awaited Celebration Tour at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday (14 October), three months later than originally planned.
The Queen of Pop was forced to postpone the tour’s start date from July to October after being put in the ICU with a “serious bacterial infection” back in June.
The tour’s opening night finally confirmed the exact setlist of classic hits after the show’s musical director, Stuart Price, confirmed it included more than 40 songs from across the Madonna’s 40-year career.
Producer Price has described the tour as a “documentary through [Madonna’s] vast career” but admitted it was a “big challenge” selecting which songs would end up in the final show.
“In two hours, can you get all of it in? That’s hard. But every great moment she’s had, we took a bit of it,” he told the BBC.
