The final two dates March 10+11 were cancelled on March 9 due to the Office of the Police prohibiting all events with an audience attendance of over 1000 in France because of the Coronavirus
Madonna performed the full show on March 8 despite ongoing injuries
The March 7 show in Paris was cancelled just a few hours before showtime due to ‘permanent injuries’
The March 1 show was cancelled on the day due to ongoing and new injuries (from the fall at previous performance)
Madonna fell during Vogue at the 4th Paris show (September 27) and cried during the polaroid moment due to severe pain from her injuries
On the second show at Le Grand Rex the electricity went out right before ‘Batuka’. Madonna came on stage anyway and sang Elvis’ Can’t Help Falling in Love. Thankfully after 15 minutes the show continued
Madonna started her first French show at Le Grand Rex on February 22 at midnight due to technical difficulties. Jean Paul Gaultier was the beer bitch!
February 20 + 25 Paris dates both cancelled on February 11. Meaning the first three originally scheduled Paris dates were either postponed or cancelled
Full show on February 8 in London with Graham Norton as the beer bitch
No beer bitch on February 6 again but Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound of Silence’
Madonna started the show without first section on February 6 explaining due to injuries every second show in a row will be cut. Either that or no show at all. No wig for ‘first’ section.
Theater drew curtain on her show on February 5, still she performed ‘I Rise’ together with the audience
No beer bitch on February 5 but a-cappella ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ instead. Andrew Lloyd Webber attended
On January 31 Madonna cancelled another two dates on her European Madame X Tour in London: February 4th and 11th, again because of the same injuries
Unfortunately she started late on her second night in London (Jan 30) leadig to cutting the first three songs from the setlist and opening with ‘Vogue’. Both ‘Sodade’ and ‘Crave’ had been axed previously
Madonna opened her London shows on January 29 to rave reviews, she even started her show at 8.45pm!
Opening night in London January 27 got cancelled
January 22 show in Lisbon was also cancelled a few hours before showtime, the second show to be cancelled in Lisbon
The fifth show in Lisbon was cancelled last minute (January 19) as Madonna was still struggling with her (knee and hip) injuries
Final night in Miami (December 22) was cancelled 2 hours before it was supposed to start, no explanation given
First London date (Jan 26) postponed to February 16
First two Paris dates (February 18/19) were postponed until March 10/11) on November 29
All three Boston dates were cancelled due to ‘health reasons’

Both the opening night of Chicago and San Francisco were postponed on October 4
The audience was stunned when Madonna came off stage to dance with the audience not once but twice during the show (Medellin and I Rise)
Madonna chats to an audience member during the show (mostly front row) known as the ‘beer moment’. The person chosen gets to have a little chat with Madonna (sitting in a chair next to him/her) and exchange beer
Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with even the ever cranky Roger Friedman complimenting the show (it’s a miracle!)
Madonna auctions off a selfie polaroid during the show to the highest bidder in the audience. Rosie O’Donnell ‘bought’ the one on opening night
The tour opened in BAM NY on September 17, unfortunately started two hours late

LOS ANGELES, May 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Following her incredibly stunning performance at the Billboard Music Awards and the announcement of her highly anticipated new album Madame X available globally on June 14, Madonna, Live Nation and Maverick have announced a series of rare and intimate performances to take place exclusively in theaters, giving fans an opportunity to see Madonna in an environment like they never have before.

Madonna is the best-selling female solo touring artist of all time and has the highest-grossing concert tour ever by a female artist with her Sticky & Sweet Tour (2008-2009) at $408 million.

Influenced creatively by living in Lisbon, Portugal over the past several years, Madame X is a collection of 15 new songs that celebrate Madonna’s career-long affair with Latin music and culture as well as other global influences.

Madonna is releasing 5 songs before her highly-anticipated new studio album Madame X debuts globally on June 14^th. Following the release of the empowering ballad “I Rise” and the critically-acclaimed “Medellín,” additional songs to be shared with fans include the infectious pop gem “Crave” featuring Swae Lee and produced by Mike Dean on May 10, the Jamaican dancehall vibes of “Future” featuring Quavo on May 17, as well as the sonically innovative “Dark Ballet” on June 7.
