Madonna’s rescheduled North American “Celebration Tour” will follow on the heels of her originally announced UK and European dates, after the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer was forced to postpone a previously scheduled run because of her recent hospitalization with a bacterial infection.

Tickets for postponed dates will be honored at all dates with the exception of Los Angeles and one date in New York, because of a venue change. 

However, because of scheduling conflicts, some original dates have been canceled. According to a statement from tour producer Live Nation, “Getting all shows rescheduled was the number one priority … Madonna regrets the inconvenience to fans and hopes to make it up to those markets in the future.”

“The Celebration Tour”  will officially kick off with four sold out shows in London in October, followed by shows across Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands throughout the remainder of 2023.  The North American leg will begin Dec. 13 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Fans holding tickets to the previously scheduled Madison Square Garden concert on Aug. 27 will have an exclusive opportunity to purchase tickets to the newly added Barclays Center performance on Dec. 16. 

Tickets for the original MSG show will be automatically refunded to the original purchaser by Aug. 28. Ticketmaster will then provide all affected fans with a dedicated link and a unique code based on the quality of their previous seat locations to purchase tickets to the new date at Barclays Centre.  Advance sales start Tuesday, Aug. 29 and run through Aug. 31. If tickets remain, they will go on sale to the public starting Sept. 1 at 10 a.m. ET. 

In Los Angeles, fans holding tickets to the shows previously scheduled at Crypto.com Arena and Kia Forum will also have an opportunity to purchase tickets to the new Kia Forum dates prior to the public.
