It’s official. Madonna is touring in 2023, according to Page Six.
While the Queen of Pop hasn’t had a proper nationwide trek since 2019’s “Madame X Tour,” last week, fans began speculating online that the seven-time Grammy winner will announce a run of shows this week.
“Jan. 17 announcement MAY be delayed, but it is still (for now) expected to be announced in January,” shared the Instagram account @encyclopediamadonnica. They added, “If delayed, not by much.”
Our source also suggested that the tour will be “Hits-oriented and … ’80s-oriented in particular.”
At the time of publication, we do not know the name of the tour, opening acts, venues or dates.
Of course, we looked for clues on Madonna’s Instagram as well.
We didn’t find much, as she cleared it hours before the announcement.
In a since-deleted post, seen below, from Jan. 10, the 64-year-old is riding horses with her 2015 song “Hold Tight” playing over the footage.
Keep an eye out. You might be hearing “Material Girl,” “Like A Virgin,” and “Holiday” live sooner than you expect.
