I’ll be standing outside the venue come concert day holding a sign up at this rate

 

[funky]

And not FREE I would of course pay I just can’t be ARSED to organise it myself, none of my mates would want to see the old cow

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Is anyone doing Paris on Nov 19th?

Come join the party....yeah

Still waiting for my friend’s insta flirt to deliver

 

[Ich Carniva-la-la-la]

Update: insta flirt CANNOT get us tickets

 

[straightorbroken]

Just as I was thinking "she should have got Lola to do that" I was suddenly looking on in awe at her armpit hair. I'd be more than happy with that come December in the Dam



And does that mean MX is coming out on DVD?

 

[KNT]

She's rehearsing a GRUNGEY version of Candy Perfume Girl

 

[Christian]

Excuse me, Candy Perfume Girl was a promo radio-only single sent to a couple of stations in Honolulu.

 

[VV]

WTF, Candy Perfume Girl is one of her worst songs ever FFS.

I agree. Even worse than Shoo-Bee-Doo and Illuminati. Nothing to be said for it and absolutely NO MELODY!

Also YUGOSLAVIA

 

[Ig Komme]

She rehearsed Easy Ride a lot for the Madame X tour and never included it. JUST SAYING

 

[Pipo]

Here we come

Burning Up sounds good, CPG not so much, trying to sound Alanis..

 

[Halli]

I have been thinking out potential setlists

I think she will end in Celebration.

Encore:
Music
Like a Prayer
Celebration

 

[dUbrodošli]

Why would she end on a song nobody knows

 

[BoysForSeles]

I’ve still no idea how she plans to get through this schedule but am so looking forward to it. I have irrational fears she’ll cancel the show I’m going to as it’s not sold out yet on night two when I’m going whilst night one is.

 

[Pipo]

I hope she ends with CANDY SHOP

 

[Christian]

I hope she ends with CANDY SHOP

And opens with it too.

 

[Suedehead]

No more hesitation
Tation

I reckon she won’t be onstage for “some” of it

Where have you been for the past two decades bebs she’s the biggest troll evah

 

[Pipo]

Let's all be thankful she ends with Celebration and not with Spanish Lesson or Bday Song.

 

[Halli]

what, do you think she's going to have that drag queen do bits and bobs as interludes etc?

 

[funky]

I think she will end in Celebration.

This has just made me feel better about not getting tickets

Thank you for your service Halli

My prediction will almost certainly not be correct though

 

[Suedehead]

She's working with Damien Jalet according to her insta stories. I live

 

[Halli]

I am really starting to get intrigued how this show will turn out

 

[Christian]

I'm guessing the set list will be 50% hits/50% stuff that should never ever see the light of day again.

Every single deep cut that someone hears being rehearsed outside the stadium will not happen.

The biggest hits will undergo the biggest reworking, to the point of being barely recognisable.

And 25% of the dates wlll be MANCELLED.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

I love how we convienently forget that she has pretty much been always a reliable live artist and that her only "Hits"/ "Celebration" style tour so far was NOTHING like the above...

 

[Jark]

the setlist will be 80% crowd pleasers for sure. I'm sure she'll sneak in Revolver and Candy Shop (also a crowd pleaser at this point) but this tour seems designed to cement her legacy in the way new music can't, so she'll play it safe and give the people what they want. probably with a strong 80s focus.

 

[Christian]

I'lll go nuts for the 10 second Candy Shop sample she shoves halfway into Holiday.

 

[Jark]

was it posted here already that Kevin Antunes seems to be OUT and Stuart Price is now sole musical director for the tour?

Is that good or bad? It seems people weren't keen on Price's efforts with Jessie Ware.

I hope you're right. I'd rather it was a leftfield set personally - a Madonna Anti-Tour would be sensational.

good! he was musical director for Re-invention and the Confessions Tour, both of which featured some of her best live arrangements. he also did PSB's Progress Live tour.

a lot of Kevin's arrangements (Sticky & Sweet on) have been pretty flat in comparison, or often just the album versions of the newer material.

 

[Christian]

Who did the Madame X tour?
