As previously annunced here on the website, the Rebel Heart Tour will continue in 2016 with another leg to the tour ; after the North American leg from September 7th to the end of October, an European leg from November 4th to December 21st and a 5 nights tour back in North American in January 2016, Madonna just annunced a leg in Oceania, and especially in Australia! A excellent annunce for australian fans who are waiting patiently for the Queen Of Pop to come back there after a 23 years long await, since her 1993 "Girlie Show Tour" (9 shows in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne & Adelaide). She was supposed to go to Australia with her 2 previous tours "MDNA Tour" 2012 and "Sticky & Sweet Tour" 2009, but had to change the plans.

OCEANIC & ASIAN TOUR 2016 (so far)

Here is the official statement :

Live Nation announced today that Madonna will make a historic return to Australia performing live for the first time in 23 years as well as her first ever shows in New Zealand, with her Rebel Heart Tour. The tour will kick off at Vector Arena on March 5th and 6th in Auckland, followed by the Australian dates presented by Telstra Thanks® and including concerts March 12th & 13th in Melbourne, March 19th & 20th in Sydney and March 26th & 27th in Brisbane (complete itinerary follows). Tickets go on sale Monday, July 6th at 10am. 

The Rebel Heart Tour begins in Montreal on September 9th and continues throughout North America and UK/Europe.  “Madonna continues to be one of the most successful touring artists in history. Her shows are always legendary and we are thrilled to have her back on tour,” says Arthur Fogel, President - Global Touring and Chairman - Global Music.

The Rebel Heart Tour follows the March 9 release of Madonna’s critically acclaimed 13th studio album - Rebel Heart - by Interscope Records.    A week after its release Rebel Heart debuted at No. 1 in Australia making it Madonna’s eleventh No. 1 album on the Australian ARIA Charts, tying the record for most number one albums on the chart.  In the United States the album shot to the top of the Billboard Sales Chart.  The first two singles from the album, "Living for Love" and "Ghosttown" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Dance Charts, and Madonna subsequently set a new world record becoming the only artist to have 45 Number One songs on any chart in Billboard History.  On June 16th, Madonna released the “Bitch I’m Madonna” EP featuring ten remixes from Sander Kleinenberg, Fedde Le Grand, Junior Sanchez, and more. 

Along with extraordinary critical acclaim as an artist, songwriter and producer who has sold a record breaking 300 million records, Madonna’s reputation as one of the most successful, provocative and enduring live performers of all time speaks for itself. The 2008/2009 Sticky & Sweet tour is the highest grossing tour of all time for a solo artist and the 2012 MDNA tour was the most successful tour of that year.

80 days to the opening night of her Rebel Heart Tour, Madonna is rehearsing and putting together her show, choosing her setlist songs, defining the main themes, filming videos, adjusting and learning choregraphies, etc.

She's also learning the song "Whole Lotta Love", originally sang by rock english group Led Zeppelin, playing the guitar!

The song, released in 1969 on vinyl, is a blues rock hit that can perfectly match with a rock version of "Gimme All Your Luvin", from Madonna's MDNA album (2012), for exemple! Just sayin....

The opening night of Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour, one of 2015's most highly anticipated shows, has been moved to Wednesday, September 9th in Montreal's Bell Centre. Dates originally scheduled for Miami, Atlanta and San Juan, PR have been moved to January 2016 (complete itinerary follows). As confirmed by Live Nation, Madonna's global tour promoter, tickets for previously announced Rebel Heart dates in each of these cities will be honored for newly scheduled dates.

 
"As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect. Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realized. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my fans. I can promise you this show will be worth the wait. Can't wait to share it with all my Rebel Hearts out there." commented Madonna.

An up to date full itinerary of Rebel Heart Tour dates follows this release. Tickets for all previously scheduled performances will be honored at the new dates. Refunds if required will be available at point of purchase.
