Photos: Madonna Kicks Off THE CELEBRATION TOUR in London

After months of anticipation and buzz, cultural trailblazer Madonna has kicked off her massive The Celebration World Tour with the first of six sold-out shows in London, at The O2.   

Check out photos from the performance below!

In a rare reflection of her unparalleled career, Madonna took the captivated audience on an emotional journey through some of her biggest hits, including songs she has not performed on stage in decades.  With nods to her beginnings as a struggling artist living in New York City, to her meteoric success, through personal and professional lows to spiritual awakening; the show captures Madonna’s past while looking to the future.  Directed by long-time collaborator Jamie King and the musical direction of Stuart Price; songs included “Nothing Really Matters,” “Open Your Heart,” “Like A Prayer,” Into The Groove” and “Crazy For You.” 

Known for her ground-breaking tours; The Celebration Tour is no different.  As usual, the best-selling female artist of all time leaves no detail overlooked.  This non-stop, fearless performance features mesmerising choreography, bold costumes and her most elaborate stage to date designed by Stufish. Check out The Celebration Tour by the Numbers (HERE).

The colossal 78 date tour, produced by Live Nation, will move across Europe before landing in Madonna’s adopted hometown of New York City in December to begin the North American leg.  The celebration will move over the US and Canada throughout spring of 2024; concluding with 4 sold out shows in Mexico City next April.  Full routing can be found below.
