Madonna announces "The Celebration Tour," but is she coming to Philadelphia?
PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) -- Madonna will "Take a Bow" with a new tour through North America and Europe starting this summer that will be a "Celebration" of the pop icon's hits, which include 38 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 -- but she isn't coming to Philadelphia.
The 35-city Live Nation-backed "Madonna: The Celebration Tour" will kick off July 15 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia, with stops in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Denver, Atlanta and Boston, among others. That leg ends on Oct. 7 in Las Vegas.
Madonna fans in the Philadelphia area hoping to see a show will have to travel cross-state or to New York or Washington, D.C.
Madonna's tour will make a stop in Pittsburgh on Aug. 7. She'll play at Madison Square Garden on Aug. 23 and 24 and then at Capital One Arena in D.C. on Sept. 2.
Then the Material Girl hits Europe, where she has 11 dates throughout the fall, including London, Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, Milan and Stockholm, among others. The tour will wrap in Amsterdam on Dec. 1.
The singer will "be highlighting her unmatched catalog of music from the past 40-plus years," according to the announcement. It will also "pay respect to the city of New York, where her career in music began."
"I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for," Madonna says in the announcement.
Tickets go on sale starting Friday, Jan. 20.
Some of Madonna's Hot 100 hits include "Vogue," "Music," "Crazy For You," "Like a Virgin," "Like a Prayer," "Justify My Love," "Live to Tell" and "Papa Don't Preach."
