Madonna’s tour was supposed to begin in Europe on October 14 before returning to North America on December 13 and lasting until January 30, 2024. The Grammy winner has promised to play her best songs from her self-titled debut in 1983 through her 2019 album, “Madame X.” “I am eager to try out as many songs as possible in the hopes of giving my fans the show they have been anticipating,” she stated in a January statement to Page Six. Madonna’s most recent tour, from September 2019 until March 2020, was in support of “Madame X.” Her Sticky & Sweet Tour, which took place from August 2008 to September 2009, is still the highest-grossing tour ever undertaken by a female artist.
