Thank you .@madonna for this amazing Tour!! On May 4 2024, Madonna performed a free concert at Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with financial support from the Itaú Bank (in celebration of its centenary), Rio's city prefecture and state government, and the beer company Heineken.  The event drew over 1.6 million people, becoming the largest concert of her career, as well as the largest audience ever for a stand-alone concert by any artist, and the largest crowd for a female artist in a single-one concert. "The Celebration Tour" is designed as a retrospective across Madonna's recording career of over 40 years. It featured numerous of her songs that had not been performed live in decades, including "Justify My Love", "Bad Girl", "Erotica" (with original song lyrics and production), and "Rain", since 1993, "Bedtime Story" since 1995, as well "Nothing Really Matters" since 1999, "Die Another Day, "Mother and Father" and "Live to Tell" since mid 2000s. 80 shows in Europe, North America and South America. With over 600,000 tickets sold in a single day, The Celebration Tour became one of the world's fastest-selling concert tours with The New York Times describing it as "one of the year's big-ticket events. On June 30 2023, Billboard reported approximately 1.2 million tickets have been sold. The European leg, consisting of 27 shows, grossed $77.5 million and sold 429,000 tickets, according to Billboard. #madonna #queenofpop #madonnacelebrationtour #madonnafans #celebrationtour
