Pop legend Madonna finally opened The Celebration Tour at London’s The O2 on Saturday and Sunday night (14th and 15th October) with two rapturously received shows.

The colossal 78-date arena tour takes in a total of six dates at London’s The O2 and visits 10 more European countries before hitting North America in December and into early 2024.

Directed by long-time collaborator Jamie King and the musical direction of Stuart Price, career spanning songs performed by Madonna during the sold-out shows in London included ‘Nothing Really Matters,’ ‘Open Your Heart,’ ‘Like A Prayer,’ ‘Papa Don’t Preach’, ‘Into The Groove’ and ‘Crazy For You.’

This non-stop, fearless performance features mesmerising choreography, bold costumes and her most elaborate stage to date designed by Stufish.
