Madonna Announces Celebration Tour With Miami Stop in September

It was straightforward for Madonna to play a present in Miami. Once upon a time, the pop star and provocateur lived on the opulent nine-bedroom, nine-bathroom Tuscan villa positioned at 3029 Brickell Ave., down the road from Vizcaya. She might have merely taken a automobile to the Miami-Dade Arena (FKA FTX Arena), the place her adoring followers would greet her this September when her retrospective Celebration Tour visits the 305.

Alas, this can’t be. That home was offered way back, on the flip of the millennium, to an organization pretending to be a really rich canine. No, significantly.

In 2000 the mansion was offered by Madge to Gunther VI, a German shepherd from a protracted line of German shepherds, all named Gunther, that had inherited a fortune from a German countess. Except it wasn’t! Gunther is, in reality, an elaborate hoax. When the home went again on sale in 2021, it was revealed that the canine’s existence was a publicity stunt utilized by an eccentric Italian entrepreneur and pharmaceutical inheritor, Mauricio Mian, to advertise his actual property gross sales and different antics. That’s based on a very embarrassed Associated Press, which reported on the story when it dropped.

What was I speaking about? Oh, sure, Madonna is on tour.

The Celebration Tour, which can span Madonna’s four-decade-long profession, hits Miami-Dade Arena (or no matter it will be referred to as when the county will get a brand new sponsor that is not actively defrauding its prospects) on Saturday, September 9, with supporting act Bob the Drag Queen. The tour additionally launched an announcement video that includes a considerably random group of celebrities (Diplo, Eric Andre, Jack Black, Lil Wayne) at a cocktail party hosted by Madonna.

Tickets for the 35-city tour go on sale Friday, January 20, at 10 a.m. Legacy members of Madonna’s Official Fan Club and Citi cardmembers can seize presale tickets by means of Wednesday, January 18, and Thursday, January 19, respectively.
