Are you ready to  Express Yourself ? To celebrate four decades of musical excellence, Madonna has announced she’s going on tour ! Her world tour, Madonna: The Celebration Tour , will feature 40-years worth of her greatest hits and in true Madonna fashion, she posted the most iconic announcement.

WATCH: Madonna’s world tour announcement. Article continues after video.

Just a day ago, fans were speculating about big Madonna news. After deleting her entire  Instagram  feed (the tell-tale sign of an impending celebrity announcement), she quickly answered growing suspicions with three consecutive feed posts; a snippet of her star-studded announcement video sandwiched between two tour posters.

The video in question featured Diplo, Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Bob The Drag Queen, Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Meg Stalter, Eric Andre, and Amy Schumer. A parody of her film  Truth or Dare , the out-of-the-box video depicts the stars playing Truth or Dare around a table, culminating in a final dare for Madonna to go on tour. Of course, she accepts and announces what we now know as The Celebration Tour.

When will Madonna’s tour tickets go on sale?

Tickets to The Celebration tour will be sold in two lots on Friday January 20 and Friday January 27. Pre-sales are open to legacy members of Madonna’s Official Fan Club, Citi cardmembers, and American Express cardmembers. 

When is Madonna going on tour?

Madonna’s tour will kick off on Saturday July 15 in Vancouver and will wrap up Friday December 1 in Amsterdam.

Will Madonna come to Australia?

Unfortunately Madonna: The Celebration Tour will not be coming to Australia . The 35-city global tour will only travel to Canada, America, and Europe.

Kylie’s big news: ‘No idea how hard it’s been’

Grim warning on new pricing trend

80s pop star, now 66, looks stunning in Oz

MADONNA has landed in Australia for the first time in 23 years.

The superstar flew into Melbourne on Monday night in a private jet after playing her first ever shows in New Zealand on Saturday and Sunday.

The arrival will thrill fans who thought they’d never see her down under again after cancelling three tours in a row.

While both Auckland shows were hailed by the press, some fans vented their anger online at Madonna hitting the stage at 10.30pm, up to 90 minutes late.

The singer has a reputation for operating on Madonnatime, risking costly curfews from venues.

Madonna’s Melbourne venue, Rod Laver Arena, has a curfew that sees any show that does not finish before 11pm potentially hit with a hefty fine.

DEVASTATED MADONNA: “I HAVE LOST MY SON’

Another serially tardy performer, Axl Rose of Guns N’ Roses, received fines at the venue when his late arrival saw the concert run until after midnight, keeping staff working after hours and punters potentially missing public transport or losing babysitters.

Madonna’s long-term manager Guy Oseary arrived in Melbourne ahead of his superstar client.

Oseary, who also manages U2, posted a photo on Instagram from a recognisable inner city hotel on Monday.

Fans bombarded Oseary’s feed with tourist and restaurant tips as well as requests to get Kylie Minogue on stage during Madonna’s extended Melbourne visit.

Minogue is thought to still be in Australia seeing family after a corporate show in Sydney last Thursday.

Madonna chooses either local celebrities or fans to spank or kiss on stage during her song Unapologetic Bitch. Her friend Molly Meldrum is also another on the spank wishlist.

Madonna fans are hoping the singer will again choose Australia to film one of her Rebel Heart shows for DVD release.

Madonna filmed her Sydney Girlie Show tour in 1993.

Australia is the final leg of the Rebel Heart world tour, and diehard fans report no show has been filmed as yet.

A Happy Girl in New Zealand! What FUN💘🎉🎉🎉🎉💃🏻🦄‼️❌👍🏻💯👑 ❤️#rebelhearttour pic.twitter.com/olP6xfghI1 — Madonna (@Madonna) March 5, 2016

Sources suggest the final two shows, in Sydney on March 19 and 20, could be a filming possibility.

On Monday Madonna posted a video of her daughter Mercy in New Zealand, calling the country “a beautiful magical place.”

The singer added her iconic hit Like a Prayer to the setlist for the second Auckland show.

Madonna will perform her first Tears of a Clown show in Melbourne on Thursday .

The event, which promises to showcase Madonna’s comedy skills as well as her music, will take place at the intimate Forum Theatre.

Free tickets to the show were distributed through her fan club, with some tickets available to customers of tour sponsor Telstra.

Fans believe Madonna has headed to Melbourne early to rehearse the Tears of a Clown one-off performance.

During her last visit to Australia when it looked like bad weather might see an outdoor show being postponed the perfectionist refused to plan a night off and instead demanded a hall be found for her dancers to rehearse in if the show didn’t happen.

Madonna said in a statement last week “I wanted to do something special for Australia because you have been so patient and waited so long — the Tears of a Clown show will make its debut on March 10th. Performance art, comedy, story telling and music of course! Especially for you my Rebel Heart fans down under!”

After her two Melbourne Rod Laver Arena shows this Saturday and Sunday, Madonna then plays Brisbane Entertainment Centre on March 16 and 17 before the Rebel Heart tour ends in Sydney with performances at Allphones Arena on March 19 and 20.

It’s a good day to be a Kylie Minogue fan, with the Aussie pop icon making several massive announcements today.

A controversial ticket pricing system left punters fuming after Green Day shows went on sale, amid warnings the model could have a “ripple effect” on the industry.

She had a slew of the biggest hit songs in the ’80s, and now, this pop star has landed in Australia looking as young as ever.

How to get tickets for Kylie’s 2025 Sydney tour: ticket details, tour dates and presale info

Australia’s golden girl is kicking off her global tour right here in Oz – here’s everything you need to know about her Sydney shows

It’s more than three decades since Kylie – the golden girl of Australia – made her first foray into the global music scene, releasing the ridiculously fun anthem that is ‘The Loco Motion’. Since then, she’s gone on to become a household name around the world, and her sparkle hasn’t dimmed in the slightest – with songs like ‘Can’t Get You Out of My Head’, ‘All The Lovers’ and ‘Padam Padam’ (released in 2001, 2010 and 2023 respectively) consistently reinstating her position as one of the world’s true pop stars. And though she’s famous across the world, Kylie holds a special place in Aussie culture. To quote Jacob Elordi, the pop princess is “a national treasure. Period.”, so it feels right that she’s kicking off her world tour – her biggest since 2011 – here on home soil. 

When are the Kylie Sydney shows?

After lighting the fuse for the Tension Tour in Perth on Saturday, February 15, Kylie will bring her pop angel energy to Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane before gracing the Harbour City with her presence. She’ll be rounding out the Aussie leg of her tour at the Qudos Bank Arena , with two gloriously glittery shows on Saturday, March 1 and Sunday, March 2.

When do Kylie Sydney tickets go on sale?

General tickets for Kylie’s Sydney shows will go on sale on Wednesday, October 2 at 11am Sydney time via Ticketek . If you’re buying for the Kylie fans in your life, you might need to cut a few from the list – there’s a limit of ten tickets per purchase for general sale tickets (and a limit of six for presale tickets).

Is there a presale for Kylie’s Sydney shows?

Thankfully, yes –  Telstra Members will have exclusive access to the Telstra Plus Member presale , which will start on Tuesday, September 24 at 1pm. If you’re a  Frontier Member, you can jump on the Frontier presale , which starts Thursday 26 September at 3pm.

Kylie Sydney ticket prices

Tickets for Kylie's Sydney shows start at $99.90 for D reserve seats, with A reserve seats costing $299.90. If you're a card-carrying Lover, you might be interested in the Padam Padam VIP package, which will score you entry to a pre-show party with canapés and a welcome drink (for a cool  $799.90 per person) or the Tension VIP tickets, which include a limited edition tour gift, commemorative Kylie laminate and lanyard, and special early check-in ($499.90 each).

What will Kylie’s Sydney show be like?

Though she’s gone on record to confirm there will be “a whole lot of Padaming”, this tour will be a celebration of her upcoming album – a high-octane, electronic leaning collection of 13 songs, including collaborative tracks with Tove Lo , Sia and The Blessed Madonna . If you want to get in the mood before the show, you can pre-order Tension II here . 

Where is Kylie performing in Australia?

Kylie will kick off her Tension Tour in Perth on Saturday, February 15, before popping up in Adelaide for one show on Tuesday, February 18, then two show’s in Melbourne on Thursday, February 20 and Friday, February 21, then going on to Brisbane for one show on Wednesday, February 26 before the grand finale in the Emerald City on the first weekend of March.

Kylie Minogue has announced a huge world tour for 2025, which will see the pop legend embark on her biggest international run of shows in more than a decade.

The tour will open next year in Minogue’s home country, Australia, before heading to Asia and eventually reaching the UK in May. More countries and dates are expected to be announced over the coming weeks, including shows in Europe, North and South America.

Minogue, 56, will be taking songs from her 2023 album Tension – such as her chart-topping summer anthem “Padam Padam” – on the road.

She will release Tension II , a brand new collection of 13 dance tracks next month on 18 October. On the forthcoming record are nine brand new Kylie studio songs, plus her latest dance hit “Edge of Saturday Night” with American DJ The Blessed Madonna and collaborations with Bebe Rexha, Tove Lo, and Sia.

Speaking about the Tension tour, Minogue said in a statement: “I can’t wait to share beautiful and wild moments with fans all over the world, celebrating the Tension era and more!

“It’s been an exhilarating ride so far and now, get ready for your close up because I will be calling Lights, Camera, Action... and there will be a whole lot of Padaming!”

Tickets for the UK dates will go on general sale at 10am Friday 27 September. You can find available seats on Ticketmaster at that time.

The UK dates include shows in Glasgow, Newcastle, Sheffield, Nottingham, and Birmingham, as well as two nights at London’s O2 arena.

Audiences are likely in for a treat. In The Independent ’s four-star review of Minogue’s recent July show at British Summer Time festival in Hyde Park , Adam White wrote that her performance was both sensual and pleasantly cheesy – a huge reminder of Minogue’s undeniable cool.

“Minogue is open, overjoyed, and emotional from the off. Barely a quarter of the set has passed before she scrambles to the back of the stage to mop up a tear,” wrote White.
