I'm sure there will be a tour!!

But early for me to start thinking about set lists and themes

Posted by: J▼hnkm 13th January 2015, 03:49 PM

I hope she leaves it to 2016 to be honest, at least to try and make the album happen. The tour will sell well regardless, they always do.

Posted by: SweetCandy 13th January 2015, 05:55 PM

It's been 3 years since the last one in May. We need a new tour.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 13th January 2015, 07:41 PM

It's also been 3 years since her last album, so it's not been an especially long gap given it was also 3 years between S&S2.0 and MDNA.

Posted by: liamk97 13th January 2015, 09:28 PM

I'd prefer Madonna to have the tour next year too. Having it this year would just mean the album era will be finished before summer and she's quite capable of making sure the era does go beyond summer if only her management will get her good televised promotion.

Posted by: SweetCandy 30th January 2015, 11:59 AM

From the NRJ Interview:
NRJ: Have you already thought about the next tour?
M: I have some ideas, yes, but I’ve been very focused on finishing my record, doing the first video, preparing for the Grammys and I only in the back of my mind is what I’m gonna do on my tour, not yet.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 30th January 2015, 01:18 PM

To be fair, given the ''effort'' expelled on the MDNA tour a few hours could probably come up with something better.

Posted by: SweetCandy 31st January 2015, 07:22 AM

Rumours has it the tour will start September 2nd in Canada & Europe will get the tour in November. (Italy November 21st)

Posted by: SweetCandy 9th February 2015, 08:45 PM

Madonna was asked by Ryan Seacrest was she going on tour and Madonna replied "Yeah I'm a stage girl".

Full list of dates added to the first post. Those UK dates are very close to Christmas but if it means the album can get a tour effect with the added benefit of the Christmas market, then that would be great.

How much were MDNA tickets? £190+ per ticket is a little excessive.

Posted by: SweetCandy 9th March 2015, 05:18 PM

MDNA for Birmingham (the only indoor UK show) was £175 plus booking fee (which I can't remember how much but must of been close to £190).

The Paris show on December 9th sold out in 42 minutes today.

Posted by: HausofFrasier 9th March 2015, 05:27 PM

Right i am very worried now, because i will be busy until the evening. So i am likely to be missing out on a ticket despite getting this early pass? :/

Posted by: SweetCandy 9th March 2015, 07:31 PM

It depends how many tickets they are selling I guess (or allowed to sell on pre sales).

Posted by: HausofFrasier 9th March 2015, 09:30 PM

I have asked someone off this site (Joseph) to get a ticket for me as i will be unable to, so fingers crossed.

Good luck to everyone trying to get them!

I suppose this is a rumour that props up every time she plans to go on tour, but DrownedMadonna.com are saying Madonna's expected to reveal Australian dates for her Rebel Heart Tour on 9th June. This is the first time since The Girlie Show World Tour that she's toured there. http://drownedmadonna.com/madonnas-rebel-heart-tour-australian-dates-to-be-announced-next-week/20150603

Starting today, yay!

Four Tour Sections:

Joan Of Arc/Samurai; 1 Arianne Phillips took the reins of the first act — a Joan of Arc-inspired section similar to the Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-lensed cover art of the “Rebel Heart” album — and devised a series of costumes referencing liturgical fabrics and a recent exhibition of samurai armor at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Dancing nuns on stripper poles also make an appearance during this act. It wouldn’t be a Madonna show otherwise.

Rockabilly Meets Tokyo; 2 Miuccia Prada, who created original Prada and Miu Miu footwear for previous tours, was asked to design costumes as well this time around for the show’s second section. Her response? Rockabilly meets Tokyo.

Latin/Gypsy; 3 It’s in the third act, the Latin quarter if you will, that things get really twisted. Fausto Puglisi, Gucci‘s Alessandro Michele and the Lebanese designer Nicolas Jebran created more of the same matador-inspired looks that appeared in the music video and live performances of single “Living for Love.” Michele imagines Madonna in full-blown “La Isla Bonita” mode, a mysterious gypsy wrapped in her fringed manila shawl, hiding behind her flamenco hat, lace and jacquard bodysuit and multicolor skirt.

Party; 4 To end things with a bang, Madonna enlisted Moschino‘s Jeremy Scott, fashion’s resident club kid, for the party section. She has worked with Scott intermittently since the early Aughts, but perhaps picking up on his ascendance in the public eye since his appointment at Moschino — not to mention his relationship with Miley Cyrus, et al — she brought him back into her orbit to work recently on several high-profile looks, including ones for her “Bitch I’m Madonna” music video.

Scott’s mandate was to come up with an homage to Harlem-flapper-meets-Paris-in-the-Twenties and several weeks after their joint appearance at the Costume Institute gala, he had the look: a blinding finale dress employing thousands of Swarovski crystals because, Scott says, “no showgirl would be complete without crystals.”

Posted by: liamk97 9th September 2015, 05:28 PM

Apparent tracking list which matches what someone apparently heard at the final rehearsal:



Personally hoping it is a fake given there's no 'Joan of Arc', 'Inside Out' or 'Wash All Over Me'. Plus 'True Blue' doesn't sound likely. 'Deeper and Deeper' is a big yay though.

Also, costume designs:

The setlist is bad meh it'll be enough just to be in the same room as her I suppose but I'd still want a few alterations come December..

Posted by: J▼hnkm 10th September 2015, 08:37 AM

The setlist is a JOKE. To have a Joan of Arc section AND NOT DO THE SONG. To drop the incredible Ghosttown yet have Holy Water, Bitch, Illuminati (even if it is just an interlude) and Unapologetic Bitch. f*** OFF MADGE.

Even worse is finishing on Holiday? I guess I can get home nice and early. Yes I am VERY VERY happy at Deeper and Deeper and True Blue and Love Don't Live Here and the medley, but I really hope between now and December she adds in at least Ghosttown. She doesn't often change though, so ugh.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 10th September 2015, 11:49 AM

Wheres JOA? Lol.

Posted by: liamk97 10th September 2015, 11:55 AM

^As if she's dropped 'Ghosttown'! Silly decision given its been the most successful song overall in the campaign. So much for it being one of her favourites too. I suppose the set-list may feel better when we see the performances but there's only a few "yay" song choices and I'm bitterly disappointed at three of the best Rebel Heart tracks (Joan of Arc', 'Inside Out' or 'Wash All Over Me') being ignored.

Full set-list from last night's show:

Posted by: J▼hnkm 10th September 2015, 12:44 PM

Ok, it LOOKS good and she looks good too, so that's a little better and I kind of managed to miss her doing Who's That Girl before (even if Causing A Commotion would be much better). I guess I always knew it was going to be a bit more MISS regarding the Rebel Heart tracks anyway, we just happened to have it lucky with the last 3 tours really.

Posted by: liamk97 10th September 2015, 01:13 PM

Good reviews so far: http://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/music/concert-review-madonnas-rebel-heart-tour-starts-beating-at-the-bell-centre http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/madonna-rebel-heart-tour-shows-singer-blast-article-1.2354738

Been noted that Madonna was noticeably smiley in this tour which is really great to hear. Her smiling her way through the Grammy performance of 'Living for Love' really put the song on a different level. Need to hear the jazz version of 'Music', acoustic version of 'Who's That Girl?' and 'Rebel Heart'!

Posted by: J▲hq 10th September 2015, 02:53 PM

Very disappointed that Ghosttown isn't on there, it's one of my very favourites from her and considering it's a single from the current era...

Wish there was at least one of Hung Up/Sorry/Jump/Like a Prayer on there too or something (this will be my first Madonna tour so no idea what she's normally like when it comes to including the classics / hits). Oh well, La Isla Bonita and Material Girl should cover me fine in that regard.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 10th September 2015, 05:05 PM

She's abysmal at including classics and or hits. Music has been wheeled out without fail though, which is an even bigger insult. Generally IF she does include it (at least on the last 3 tours) it's in such a bast*rdised format it's basically a totally new song or mashed up with something truly awful. OR BOTH.

Posted by: vibe 10th September 2015, 05:59 PM

Where the f*** is Ghosttown ? The best and most liked song on the album !
I'm hearing rumours that it will replace the French song outside of Canada and France ?

Joan of arc not in the Joan of arc section

I am NOT KEEN on the track at all anyway (I may have mentioned...) but the version of S&S was pretty good yeah. The Disco Inferno mix is just way too long, I have a fanmade edit somewhere which is like 3 minutes and it's great.

Posted by: liamk97 10th September 2015, 11:14 PM

Yeah, I was going to say, it's not a good start when you don't really like it in the first place! 'Music/Disco Inferno' is pretty lengthy but every second just, to use your favourite phrase, EXUDES JOY. The sample particularly so, and it sounds so much grander than it does in the original recording (obviously due to technology improving but still). I love the naff disco-fever dancing she does around the 4:30 mark too. Less "strike a pose" and more "get off my street".

Posted by: HausEveryWeekend 11th September 2015, 06:50 AM

Liam you must get tickets!

I'm not upset at the tour missing out a lot of my fave songs/the classics i'm most upset at how little it seems to represent 'Rebel Heart' as an era which is all about her journey til now.

Granted it opens with that message loud and clear and I suppose the (frankly ODD) closing harks back to her initial stamp on the scene, but where is the pain from the LAP era, the ectasy from Confessions, the lessons she learnt during ROL and so on? The songs she's chosen from this album don't even sing and convey the album's message too well either.

Still 'Iconic' opening the show will be a MOMENT. What a song <3

Posted by: Mango 11th September 2015, 09:29 AM

To be fair she's got that many great songs in her catalogue that the set list is never going to contain all the classics people want. I'm as disappointed as everyone else at the exclusion of Ghosttown though.

Also, didn't she recently say she hates True Blue and she hasn't performed it on tour for over 20 years or something?

Posted by: J▼hnkm 11th September 2015, 09:41 AM

I'm not sure if she's said anything recently, but as True Blue was about her relationship with Sean and that ended...badly, she hasn't sang it since the WTG tour, no.

Posted by: Joe. 11th September 2015, 09:51 AM

I am surprised Like a Prayer/Hung Up are not on there - I'd say those are two she HAS to do on every tour, especially since the latter connects with her younger fan-base a lot more. She does have so many iconic songs, she needs to mix it up every time she tours because she has near enough 20 big classics so it's sad but fair that my fav Papa Don't Preach only makes it sometimes.

The omission of Ghosttown is baffling and unforgivable though! And I like Holiday, and I know it was her first ever megahit but I don't think it's a closer, I feel like she's made a good dozen more closing-worthy songs since Holiday.

Interesting that they've added more dates when almost none are sold out as is. I say not sold out, knowing full well they all will be in the end anyway, even if it just means half the arena is closed off.

Posted by: liamk97 12th September 2015, 11:15 PM

^Unless they were planning on touring in these places anyway and just needed to sort things out before making it official.

Another date: Madonna's coming to Bangkok on February 9th.

Posted by: liamk97 13th September 2015, 01:16 PM

I keep watching clips of the opening night and what is pleasing to see is the amount of stripped back, intimate performances with good vocals to match. So touching to hear the crowd singing and clapping along, makes for a much more personal experiences opposed to just witnessing a theatrical performance. 'La Vie En Rose' and 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' are definite ones to watch - quality of audio isn't great in the latter but, from what I can gather, she succeeds in hitting the raw but strong notes of the 80s version.

Posted by: liamk97 14th September 2015, 06:52 PM

Roughly counting up the first two months of the MDNA Tour (counting the first number of the millions), they account for over $72m. Like John says, the venue sizes are down (highest of the first two months of the MDNA Tour was 62,195 compared to Rebel Heart's highest of 28,371). All her tickets were sold, according to the Wiki table.

Posted by: jark 9th December 2015, 11:29 PM

One of the very best concerts I've ever been to. Certainly a match for Kylie's X2008/Showgirl Homecoming and, if I'm honest, probably better. Probably.

Her vocals were utterly superb, much better than expected. She moved well, showcased her dancers excellently, the Rebel Heart tracks came alive and the older hits were all stunningly well reinvented, especially Like a Virgin. The Amsterdam crowd was so into it, there wasn't a dull moment. Best reception from the crowd as a whole probably went to La Isla Bonita, Deeper and Deeper, and Music. Fabulous finale in Holiday. The whole thing was just so joyous, I'm still on a high three days later.

Posted by: Qween 9th December 2015, 11:35 PM

I do not recall such an excellent reaction to Music, however I feel my own FURY at it being there might have clouded my judgement. I had genuinely convinced myself she wasn't doing it too.

Posted by: vibe 10th December 2015, 01:08 PM

I went to the sat Amsterdam show and it was amazing but it didn't compare to the Tuesday London gig . She took my hand in deeper and deeper which was amazing !!!

Well she didn't do that in Amsterdam because she only cut the '80s medley. I understand the frustration of fans to not see the likes of Unapologetic Bitch or Holiday performed because she couldn't get her ass on stage on time.

Posted by: GingerbreadHaus 17th December 2015, 06:26 AM

SO I reached the venue and realised that somehow the ticket had fallen out of the back pocket of my jeans while walking there. All I had was the other slip of paper that comes with them and a screenshot of a snapchat I had sent earlier holding the ticket.

I got to one of the guards in flood of tears and hyperventilating. She managed to calm me down and hear my issue. I had to go to the box office and try to get a duplicate one printed which they managed to as mine hadn't been scanned yet. I got a massive hug (I'd started crying again when I got the ticket) and she told me to have the best night of my life...

Posted by: GingerbreadHaus 17th December 2015, 06:32 AM

Which I can safely say I DID. From the second I walked in the atmosphere was electric. When she came out and that absolutely incredible opening of 'Iconic' began I was in awe of her. Some of the choreography was unlike I'd anything I'd seem before and some of the stunts were insane and life threatening and I'm not sure how they pulled them off (talking mainly about the 'Illuminati' interlude). I loved the reworkings of the classics too <3 The strongest thing about the tour apart from her energy was the backing video. The various montages (my favourite probably being the 'Rebel Heart' one tracing her musical journey) we so incredible and I spent most of the time staring at that and not the action on stage!

She was everything I wanted her to be and more. It made me fully realise and *get* why she's the most successful female artist ever - she is totally fearless, strong-minded and powerful.

I cried throughout most of it especially 'Like A Prayer' which was a total moment but I mainly cried because I got to see her live. A totally brilliant and memorable night and I think it'd rank as the best one or at least the one I will talk about most in the future because it was so surreal and one I've been waiting for for ages. I went through every single emotion possible (including during the ticket fiasco) and each one was so intense. I love her more than ever right now I and I didn't think that was even possible for me. I am so glad I can say I've seen her live because she is the best we'll probably ever have.

Posted by: · jerusalina · 21st December 2015, 04:19 PM

The show was absolutely incredible. It just absolutely reaffirmed to me (much like Bal) why she's the longstanding entertainer that she's always been. It was an interesting experience for me because I'm not anywhere near familiar with Rebel Heart as an album really but the songs REALLY translated into a stage show and gave her a lot of room to create f***ing AMAZING visuals and routines ('Holy Water' and 'Illuminati' are kinda ech as actual songs despite them having really iconic bits but they go COMPLETELY OFF in the arena!!). Then of course you have sparse classics which made me go mental (La Isla Bonita? Music? Absolutely COMPLETELY sold and screamed them out off). And I know about the death-defying stunt Bal was talking about, hunks in waistcoats THROWING themselves into the audience off of bendy poles was like WOT.

Because I was quite far back I did switch from the stage to the screen quite a lot but I found myself doing what Bal did too and at Rebel Heart literally couldn't take my eyes off of that montage!!! We also got amazing personable Madonna moments, and 'Ghost Town' was wonderful to see considering it's Rolling Stone status which she seemed super proud of. After going to see the song I got a new appreciation for Rebel Heart that wasn't there before because it is totally a package deal - the songs AREN'T just the songs and it convinced me that she does everything with the bigger picture in mind, especially the tour - and why shouldn't she? She definitely puts on the best show and that's pretty much just fact at this point.

I will say tho we had the weirdest encore of all-time, she did Holiday but the arena lights had come up and the sound / her audio weren't working so the whole arena just had to sing it for her as she went through this marvellous routine. It was quite a bizarre end but all-in-all I absolutely loved it.

She had a small article in the Metro today about them pulling the power Seems to be a disagreement in that she believes it was the venue doing it because of the curfew, but the venue is saying it was Madonna's own team that did it Still must have been an incredible feeling to have the entire stadium singing along rendering the power-loss meaningless.

The tour has grossed $169.8m 1,045,479 tickets sold at 82 performances, according to Billboard. It puts her overall concert grosses (since 1990 I think) at $1.31bn, which puts her third behind The Rolling Stones ($1.84bn) and U2 ($1.67bn). http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/7271843/madonna-extends-record-highest-grossing-solo-touring-artist?utm_source=twitter

Posted by: Qween 25th March 2016, 03:07 PM

That's not a great result to be honest, the last two were obviously stadium tours so there's no real, fair, comparison, but Confessions had 60 shows in 2006 at similarly sized venues (around 100,000 more attendee's) yet in 2016 dollars it grossed $223M. Obviously she's done well, but that's a worrying sign for the future.

Confessions was not in similar size venues in the states .

Posted by: Qween 25th March 2016, 11:08 PM

Well, total attendance was 10% higher either way, but the gross was way more than 10% higher.

I'm not even quite sure what point I'm trying to make really, other than it would seem EVERY aspect of her stock is at a low.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 26th March 2016, 01:26 PM

Posted by: Qween 17th April 2016, 02:50 PM

I'd imagine it's in terms of box office gross, given U2, The Rolling Stones and Madonna seem a little too AGED to be nominated otherwise. Though of course the age limits on COCK ROCK don't really apply.

I'm so disappointed with the rebel heart clip that has been released by tidal and showtime.
It is far to choppy and over edited so it doesn't look like a live experience. Rebel heart was a real
Intimate moment and now this is completely lost.
The vocals are horrid too , so not how it sounded at the concert.

Official Showtime Trailer:



Hearing 'Iconic' at the end reminds me how excited I am to hear it and the whole opening sequence in general in super good quality!

Posted by: vibe 8th December 2016, 01:21 PM

The trailer looks incredible

Posted by: Qween 8th December 2016, 04:14 PM

Visually - amazing, but those vocals are LUDICROUS. I thought the MDNA tour would be as bad as the vocal reworking got, but that bares little resemblance at all to what she actually sounded like. I'm not expecting it to be RAW (either sticky OR sweet), but something along the lines of Confessions would have been much more sensible.

Posted by: vibe 8th December 2016, 08:35 PM

That's why I live drowned world so much , real vocals.

Posted by: Qween 8th December 2016, 10:25 PM

Thing is she actually did sound quite good on the tour, so the ridiculous post production on her voice is even more unnecessary.

Posted by: HausofBallBalls 10th December 2016, 10:55 PM

Any updates on this / anyone watched it yet? Apparently the 'Iconic' opening is edited? Praying it keeps its magic.

Posted by: liamk97 11th December 2016, 12:37 PM

I've not heard anything yet, but I hope not too!

As for the vocal editing, I think I've just come to expect that as part and parcel these days. I agree that the vocals were generally great on the tour (I remember they received high praise from critics too) so it's not necessary to completely alter them.

I seem to recall the MDNA Tour vocals would have needed all the aid they could get, based on some (albeit low quality) videos I've seen of that tour.

Posted by: vibe 11th December 2016, 08:43 PM

So the show is all over the net !! I have watched it twice !!

She looks incredible and so happy through this tour .

It's edited so much better than MDNA DVD !!

Posted by: HausofBallBalls 16th December 2016, 07:46 AM

One year since I went! Still remember it clearly - reaching the venue and realising I'd dropped my ticket somewhere, bursting into tears, hyperventilating... the security calmed me down and printed a duplicate ticket as my original hadn't been scanned. She gave me a huge hug and told me to have the night of my life. What a moment of my life :'(((

Posted by: liamk97 18th December 2016, 02:09 PM

Posted by: liamk97 7th March 2017, 09:29 PM

Good news: we finally have a date set for the Tour DVD release!

Bad news: it seems like it'll be released on her birthday - over 5 months away.

Posted by: vibe 8th March 2017, 05:54 PM

As long as the DVD is amazing , full show , not overly edited I can wait.

I want the full tour , including heartbreak city and love don't live here anymore.

Posted by: liamk97 9th March 2017, 12:02 AM

I assume there will be a CD to accompany the DVD and I hope that's the full tour too. It annoys me that both the Confessions and Sticky & Sweet Tour CDs were 'highlights' (I put in inverted commas because they miss out some of the best) yet the MDNA one had the full set-list when I barely even like any of the renditions.

Posted by: liamk97 23rd March 2017, 01:30 PM

According to her insta, Madonna is working on the extras for the DVD.

According to DrownedMadonna, the release date has now been confirmed as 15th September. The double CD version will include 22 tracks.

Posted by: vibe 14th May 2017, 09:49 AM

The package looks very promising .

Posted by: liamk97 14th May 2017, 11:54 AM

I do quite like the cover but it just annoys me how they're standing on nothing. Certainly not as bad photoshopping skills as those demonstrated in the covers for 'Ghosttown' and 'Bitch I'm Madonna' though.

Posted by: liamk97 28th May 2017, 01:24 PM

DrownedMadonna reveals that some details on the DVD have been announced, although they aren't necessarily set in stone. The DVD's running time is 138 minutes, which is apparently the same length as the Showtime broadcast and that had cut out 'Love Don’t Live Here Anymore'. Madonna is said to have explained that this was only cut off for the Showtime broadcast so hopefully it does appear on the DVD - it was certainly a tour highlight for me!

Posted by: vibe 29th May 2017, 08:41 AM

If that song is not on the DVD I will be fuming !

It was such a highlight of the tour .

Posted by: liamk97 3rd June 2017, 12:26 PM

It was great to hear that raw vocal style that doesn't seem to be present in her singing very much nowadays. Would be gutted if it was cut.

Posted by: liamk97 24th June 2017, 11:45 AM

Press release on the DVD release, confirms some details already available:

And only a month to go until its officially released! It's gone by quite quick tbh. Looking forward to watching the tour in full; I just hope it's not overly-edited because it doesn't need it.

Posted by: vibe 14th August 2017, 05:11 PM

Do we know yet if it is the full tour with every song ?

Posted by: liamk97 16th August 2017, 12:01 PM

Hopefully we'll find out today - just checked and the tour DVD/CD isn't up for pre-order just yet.

Posted by: liamk97 16th August 2017, 03:41 PM

Up for pre-order on Madonna's http://madonna.fanfire.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Store.woa/wa/artist?sourceCode=MDNWEBWWGBP&artistName=Madonna. Also the opportunity to buy a T-shirt along with it. No sign of it on Amazon just yet though.

This is the DVD cover:



I really like it tbh! Shame the same effort (and I don't even think it requires that much skill even) for the single covers of the Rebel Heart era.

Posted by: HausofSZA 16th August 2017, 03:44 PM

I LOVE the grey t-shirt! Going to preorder the DVD and get that with it too

Still no idea on set list?

Posted by: liamk97 16th August 2017, 03:49 PM

It's great, isn't it?! Think I might purchase too.

Still not sure on the tracking list. The CD has 22 tracks and the setlist has 25 songs/performances but it's the actual DVD tracking list I'm more concerned about - they simply cannot cut 'Love Don’t Live Here Anymore' if previous rumours are to be believed.

Okay so I was about to lose my shit at 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' not being there BUT the ever reliable Wiki does say 'HeartBreakCity' contains excerpts of 'Love...' so HOPEFULLY it will still be there. Looks like just 'Lucky Star' from the 'Dress You Up'/'Into the Groove' section and 'Who's That Girl?' is missing.

The double CD looks like it only gets rid of the interludes which is fine for a CD.

Posted by: Johnkm 18th August 2017, 09:05 PM

I don't know QUITE WHY, but I am continually shocked by how BADLY she/her people manage to gauge these things. Waiting two years is bad enough, but then only releasing about 90% of the concert and omitting the OBVIOUS FAN FAVES when ONLY THE FANS will be buying it anyway just smacks of ineptitude.

Posted by: liamk97 18th August 2017, 09:26 PM

Absolutely. I don't know who the responsibility lies with, perhaps it's equally balanced between her and her management, but it's a bit of pisstake that fans are rarely repaid for their dedication. I feel like this goes back to the Hard Candy era which was almost 9 years ago.

Things did seem like they were picking up when we got actual promotion during the beginning of the Rebel Heart era after f*** all for MDNA and of course getting the sublime 'Ghosttown' and its video, but there does seem to still be issues with showing appreciation for fans.

Posted by: Johnkm 18th August 2017, 11:13 PM

She gave us Ghosttown AND THEN LEFT IT OUT OF THE TOUR. It's like she gets off on being withholding.

Midweek #12. Obviously it'll fall during the week, but that's about 2k sold so far so it's on lock for the Top 40 and will easily outpeak the MDNA World Tour album (and will likely have already outsold its first week sales of 1,759).

Posted by: HausofSZA 18th September 2017, 06:25 PM

It's such a good listen! Glad it's going to make an impact on the top 40

Posted by: vibe 19th September 2017, 06:45 AM

Surprised it is selling better than MDNA , cd sales have seriously dropped since that release.

It's probably because the full show was released on CD with the full DVD.
You have to purchase rebel heart full cd and DVD separately .

Posted by: liamk97 19th September 2017, 08:13 AM

The sales for the DVD and CD of the MDNA Tour had a total of 7,358 on its first week when you combined the two, so that'll be a more equal comparison to make, assuming Music Week gives us sales for both.

Fingers crossed we get an updated total for the Rebel Heart album!

Posted by: liamk97 19th September 2017, 02:17 PM

Debuted at #42, just missing out on the Top 40 position it looked certain to get. There must have been some sort of stock issue towards the end for the album to be selling in single figures per day.

The album has done better in other places around the world - #20 in Australia, Top 10 in both Belgium charts and Germany and #4 in Italy.

'Deeper & Deeper' uploaded to Madonna's VEVO account:



Fab performance! It was so great to see 'Deeper & Deeper' get recognition in 2015 - it's a huge fan fave but remained unacknowledged for so long. Hopefully the reactions from fans hearing and seeing such gems performed means they'll appear on future tours.

Posted by: HausofSZA 1st October 2017, 01:55 PM

Deeper and Deeper was the highlight for me

Posted by: HausofSZA 1st October 2017, 01:56 PM

ALSO I saw this in HMV but I didn't buy it because I need to reseach and make sure I get a version I want most. Basically I want all of her tours on DVD but I need them in the same/similar packaging and in HMV I saw one version with a standard DVD case and another blu-ray one with a small cardboard case (they also had the Confessions tour in same format).

SO I shall research and then decide which one to get :')

Posted by: liamk97 2nd October 2017, 06:24 PM

You're just like me, I'm always so picky about packaging!

I'm holding off getting Madonna's albums on vinyl just in case we ever getting special editions at any point (like next year to celebrate Madonna's 60th).

Posted by: HausofSZA 14th November 2017, 08:01 AM

Currently getting really into Heartbreakcity Live. Her raspy vocals in the first verse are almost off-putting but they reflect the tone of the song well and the interspersed f***S/profanities offer something more harrowing than the studio version. I love the song anyway but the live version is really doing it for me right now.

Posted by: liamk97 14th November 2017, 12:12 PM

I agree, the mood of the song allows her signature ballad vocal to really work. I'm still gutted 'Love Don't Live Here Anymore' was cut out, but the song as it is still sounds fab.

I'm on a tour buzz from seeing Blondie at the weekend and I need Madonna to go on tour again so I can see her! Do a Beyonce and have the tour before the album release!

Posted by: liamk97 18th January 2018, 02:57 PM

Well I only got half way because I was so tired, but 'True Blue' into 'Deeper & Deeper' was fantastic; was so lovely to see everyone embracing one another and sing along to 'True Blue' and for that to be extended by the euphoric anthem of 'Deeper & Deeper'.

My only gripe is that the tour is so heavily processed and that's quite intrusive to your enjoyment. Not so much in the more intimate moments like above and not enough to complete spoil it, but it is a niggle.
