Fans of bygone Madonna eras may find themselves pulled back into the pop queen’s orbit with an upcoming project. Details are still very hush-hush, but from all appearances, Madge is just days away from announcing the tour of a lifetime.
The intrusive chanteuse just celebrated a legendary career last year with her biggest compilation album ever. Finally Enough Love: 50 number ones dropped in August, serving as an ultimate victory lap for a performer who’s spent the last four decades topping the dance charts — well, her ultimate victory lap until now.
The alleged tour is thought to kick off in 2023, exactly forty years after the release of her self-titled debut album. With a rumored setlist spanning her entire career, this is set to be her first ever compilation tour.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Madonna has seemingly had hitting the road again on her mind for a while now. Last year, she waxed on her desire to reintroduce her collection to the youth.
“I’m just looking for interesting, fun ways to re-release my catalog and introduce my music to a new generation. I’m focused on that,” she explained to Variety. “I want to go on tour again, I’m a creature of the stage. That is my happy place.”
She also spoke in an Instagram Live about whether she was planning to tour the world again.
“Hell yeah. I have to. Stadium, baby,” she said, before adding, “Me and Britney, what about that?”
The singer reportedly already has multiple nights booked at London’s O2 Arena.

Madonna’s last stint on the road was the ever-provocative, slightly messy Madame X Tour, which was cut short by the pandemic. After three long years of touch-and-go masking, distancing, and being wild on TikTok, she’s ready to be face to face with the fans again.
As eccentric as Miss Ciccone has gotten over the years, hearing a full catalogue of “Everybody” and “Hung Up” and “Justify My Love” live back to back to back might actually cause gay cardiac arrests. Hopefully there are medics on standby.
For another dose of new-classic Madonna, check out “Gambler”, her recently re-released “lost single” originally put out on the 1985 Vision Quest soundtrack:

She is really becoming the Mae West of the 21st century working as hard as possible not growing old gracefully. Maybe she should think of remaking “Sextette.”
Jim
Wait you’re too young to recognize this LOL
Gabby
Who is Mae West? Growing old gracefully – says the man who feels the need to trash a successful female on line – your very successful (not).
BrokebackBob
The “big thing” is that she’s having her face and ass flipped via a final diva surgical procedure.
Jim
Has-been. Media whore
joxx67
Madonna is the QUEEN!!
LumpyPillows
Has-been? Nope. Just trying to be mean?
jenplease
The notion that she actually has ‘fans’ is mind boggling. She’s an embarrassment.
Go to bed Madonna.
Gabby
HMMMM? Take note – 40 years into her career and yes she is still inspiring millions of fans all over the world. Her last 5-6 tours have been sold out making her the most successful touring artist ever, even today. Also, her most recent Madame X tour was a fan and critic favourite A quick search of the pop charts and you will notice that Madonna always has 5-6 albums always charting and her music is bering streamed as much as younger artists. Over the summer she released a dance compilation of 50 past #1’s. With only instagram promotion, the album still debuted at #1 all over the world – an album of old songs! Just last week, a demo surfaced on Tik Tok, Back That Up To The Beat, and within 24 hours it was #1 world wide. The notion that a grown man feels the need to leave a negative comment about a successful self made female is mind boggling. If I am not as passionate, silly and vibrant as Madonna at 65 I just don’t want it.

Relevant enough for you to click on the article and leave a comment. You see how that works?
Ricanthony
hahahahahah!!!! Your hate is shining through. Have a seat. You could NEVER, ever meet her greatness.
beerson
Embarrassment for who? are you related?
LumpyPillows
Being mean isn’t a nice look for anyone.
Claytonisahobo
This is awesome news, not that she’ll tour anywhere near where I can see her, but I will watch it on streaming or DVD for sure. I would love it if she would bring back Donna and Nikki as well.
Love live THE QUEEN 🙂
Gabby
I am so excited. I saw her last tour and it was so good.
Jan
The gays will love a new tour no doubt, but she’s hellbent on getting her music to a generation that will not resonate or appreciate it.
graphicjack
Last week, she literally just had a #1 worldwide single release of a demo song that somehow made it viral on TikTok. As a lifelong M fan, I hadn’t even heard of it before, but the Gen Z kids made it a monster hit… so I beg to differ. She also rereleased a remix of Frozen because it got massive airplay on TikTok. It seems her music still resonates with younger audiences.

I thought the Madame X tour shut down because she kept having health issues. Her hip or knee. Madonna is in great shape and better than most people half her age. But she is going to have to realize she can’t do what she used to do. Whether she wants to admit it or not. Her body can’t hold up to it anymore.
bachy
She’s had multiple hernias and a hip replacement. But you’re right. She may be able to perform some of her trademark acrobatic dancing for a video or a television performance, but night after night after night on tour there’s going to have to be a less rigorous choreography.

I’m hoping for a low-key, all-acoustic tour. I’ve wanted her to do this since about 10 years ago. Just her voice, guitar and all of her songs. No dancing or gimmicks needed, even though she is so great at both. It’s time for her to relax and bask in what she has accomplished during her career.
PascackJack
Don’t think that would work. She’s always been more of a dancer (a great one at that) than a singer.
[email protected]
It could work. She’s also a very good singer with a unique voice. Many, many, many times she has performed live acoustically and has sounded great.
josephcc
LOL! Well, good luck filling up those seats!
Whatever fans she has left are all past or nearing retirement at this point. I’m sure they have better things to do than waiting two hours for a late stone-cold, crippled, narcissistic nutjob who can’t even sing.
Gabby
Elton is that you?
LumpyPillows
Oddly completely disconnect from reality – Madonna has and will continue to be able to fill seats as she has to record levels, for decades.
still_onthemark
If Madonna has “something MAJOR planned” let’s just hope it’s not NFTs!
bachy
She already has Nice F*cking TItties.
LumpyPillows
I have and continue to love Madonna’s music. She has always been polarizing. Total lack of self awareness. Probably irritating in real life. I still am curious as to what she has coming.
Tranceboi1
It amazes me how many haters are on here. It is really sad. What happened in your lives that make you hate so much? Any gay person who puts down and ally in our community, and calls her old, must realize you are going to get old one day. Haters suck and always will. You sit behind your keyboard and say nasty crap. What a life you must have. It is a shame because you could never be as successful as Madonna. She is the number one female singer in the world. Look it up Bitches! You could never do what she is doing and never will. You must have extremely bad taste in music and wouldn’t no talent if it was standing right in front of you. Just go away haters nobody cares what you have to say.

Madonna has always been there for the Gay community. Even when nobody was talking about AIDS, she was advocating for us . When I see people talking about her in a negative way it just makes them look stupid . You don’t have to like her but to go out of your way to post a negative comment it just baffles me. Why waste your time? I guess it’s easy to bash people sitting behind a computer. I had to look up Mae West (didn’t know who she was). You would have to be a bitter old queen to bring up Mae West . I’ll be at madonna’s greatest hits concert with the biggest smile on my face .
bachy
Same.
