Posted April 16Apr 16 It's 40 years since Madonna commenced her debut tour, aptly titled The Virgin Tour. The tour saw Madonna perform across North America from April to June 1985 in support of her first two albums. Beastie Boys were the opening act and Patrick Leonard - who would go on to work on Madonna's next two albums - directed the tour. Tickets were sold out and grossed $5m revenue. The Detroit show was recorded and released on VHS as Madonna Live: The Virgin Tour, however performances of 'Angel', 'Borderline' and 'Burning Up' were cut.
