Madonna Confirms Tour Dates
Madonna will spend June and part of July in Europe, with stops in Germany, Spain, Italy, France and England. Her first scheduled date stateside is July 21 at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, followed July 25 with a stop at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
She has 13 arena dates inked in so far, and several more will be added as the launch date approaches.
Other cities already on the itinerary – which stretches into September – include Boston, Washington, Miami, Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Las Vegas, Oakland and Los Angeles.
Since 1993’s Girlie Show tour in support of Erotica, the Madonna has transformed into the Material Mom, having two children, Lourdes and Rocco, marrying British director Guy Ritchie in an elaborate ceremony in Scotland last December, and taking up residency in London.
She’s out in support of her latest chart-topping album, Music, after choosing not to tour behind her previous (and highly-acclaimed) disc, 1998’s Ray of Light.
Madonna is said to be pulling out the stops for the Drowned World outing, promising a highly visual, theatrical event to “mind-boggle the senses,” as she told the British press.
