Madonna - The Celebration Tour 2023
- Thread starter LTG

True, but if anything off Hard Candy is gonna make the cut, it had better be Give It 2 Me. Now that’s a bop.
I would take Give it 2 Me, Candy Shop and Heartbeat over 4 Minutes any minute of any day. Justin's cringe Pri-Madonna pun and Timbaland's fricky fricky's have aged so badly.
Realistically, what song do we think will be the closer? I know Holiday usually seems like a safe bet, but maybe Music? Or even a little megamix?

If it's not Holiday, I'll be very surprised - but I'm here for her Out Of Control Megamix.
That's the exact reference I was thinking of.
A shame, this would have been an entertaining mess.
he/him
I'm mostly sad about this because we all know how galvanized she was to tell her story on her own terms

I hope Julia gets to play her in something else that comes around, she really seems like a perfect fit.

This just means we're inching closer to Oscar-winning cinema verité masterwork Madonna Biopic Bootcamp
The article says she is still committed to making a film about her life, but it is no longer in development at Universal.
Has anybody considered the fact that she might really be fucking with everyone and this is really her anti-tour? Just imagine. Thousands of people in an arena waiting for Vogue, Holiday and Like A Virgin, totally baffled by Cyber-raga, Act of Contrition and Auto-Tune Baby.
Heartbreaking news, really.
But I am giggling at the thought of her scamming everyone at Universal just because she was bored during lockdown.
This also aligns with the theory that she was going on tour to have her own money to fund the biopic, hopefully that's true.
But, incase I’m wrong…this would be a brilliant setlist:

I think reverse chronological (roughly by era) could work well. I Don’t Search I Find (Honey Dijon Mix) with Finally Enough Love echoing around the arena as the intro. Ending on all the big 80s hits, with Everybody as the fake closer and Holiday as the encore (or the other way round).
Also in an ideal world for me the tour would have no ballads, because in 2024 she’d release Something 2 Remember and do a theatre tour of her slow songs.
