Madonna Adds Halloween SF Shows
San Francisco get ready, because Madonna is bringing her “Madame X” tour to the Golden Gate Theatre Oct. 31, Nov. 2 and Nov. 4.
Tickets to the shindig are available now through a presale with the password Soundtrack.
The additions come right before the opener Sept. 17 at BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in New York. The first two shows, on Sept. 14 and 15 were rescheduled due to production issues, and a show on Sept. 15 was canceled.
The Madame X tour is an underplay tour, set to take place in theaters in North America and Europe to start.
The chance to catch the Material Girl in an intimate venue is a break from her regular fare of arenas and stadiums. Live Nation’s chairman of global music Arthur Fogel told Pollstar upon the announcement of the tour that it was an important for an artist like Madonna to change up her routing and style of touring.
“It’s a part of what excites fans, keeps artists energized. I mean if you go out and do the same thing every tour, eventually that catches up to you. I think it’s great when people change it up, do different things, certainly, as it relates to creating music. There used to be a lot more tolerance for people changing things up and trying different things. I think doing that live is really important to longevity as well.”
