Official Press Release:

Apr 3, 2006 -- Madonna will be dancing and singing across the stages of the world this spring and summer, it was announced today. The "Confessions Tour" with concerts across major US cities, Canada, Europe and Japan will begin in Los Angeles on May 21st. "Confessions" tour dates were officially confirmed by Madonna's managers Angela Becker and Guy Oseary, along with Arthur Fogel, President of The Next Adventure (a Live Nation Company), the tour's worldwide promoter Tour stops in North America for the "Confessions Tour" will include arenas in Chicago, Boston, San Jose, Phoenix, Fresno, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Miami, Montreal and New York. Overseas appearances will take place in arenas, stadiums and outdoor venues in Paris, France; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Cardiff, Wales; Rome, Italy; Dusseldorf and Hannover Germany; Horsens, Denmark; Osaka and Tokyo, Japan. 

The "Confessions Tour" will be directed by longtime Madonna collaborator Jamie King with Stuart Price once again on board as Musical Director. Arianne Phillips and Jean Paul Gaultier, long standing members of Madonna's creative team, will respectively oversee and design costumes for the tour. 

Madonna's previous tour, the 2004 "Re-Invention Tour" was the most successful tour of that year, according to Billboard Magazine. 

The Warner Bros. Records mega star, whose current CD "Confessions On A Dance Floor" debuted at No.1 in 29 countries, has already begun rehearsals in Los Angeles with her talented troupe of musicians and dancers. With a staggering 35 No. 1 hits on Billboard's dance charts during the course of her unparalleled career, it's no surprise that Madonna issued the following mission statement regarding the "Confessions Tour": "I'm going to turn the world into one big dance floor," exhorted the Material Girl. 

The multi-Grammy Award winning artist, songwriter, children's book author, producer and video visionary with an unrivaled reputation for astonishing stage spectacles, has made musical history many times over including International record sales of over 200 million albums. 

A cultural innovator of astonishing diversity and enduring appeal, Madonna has defined our era with a sound, style and vision that has inspired countless artists and millions of fans around the globe. In the process, she has pioneered a new model of creative empowerment, overseeing a multi-faceted career that encompasses virtually every aspect of contemporary culture.

Opening Acts: UNV (some USA venues), Yonca Evcimik and Kenan Dogulu (Istanbul), and Peter Andre (Australia)

Tour Started: September 25, 1993 - Wembley Stadium, London
Tour Ended: December 19, 1993 - Tokyo Dome, Tokyo, Japan
Costumes by: Dolce and Gabbana

Interesting Facts:

• Some venues forbade toplessness, so Carrie Inaba had to wear a halter top to conceal her assets.
• In Toronto Madonna held up traffic when she jogged through the streets.
• Orthodox Jews staged protests to cancel Madonna's first-ever show in Israel.
• In Puerto Rico, an uproar was caused when Madonna rubbed the Puerto Rican flag between her legs on stage.
• Caught by reporters at the birthplace of Christ in Jerusalem, Madonna called them "sons of whores" and hurled other vicious slurs in Hebrew and Arabic, then dodged a meeting with Mayor Teddy Koleck.
• The Girlie Show required 1500 costumes for the cast, and a 24-hour set up time for the enormous stage.

Review:

"Why does the rhetoric of fiaso and decline hover over the production like a vulture? Forget the naysayers - the wise thing to do is try to get tickets. Madonna may have failed at other things, but her stage performance - her fluent and daring dancers imagination, her genius for iconographic playfulness, her libertine expansiveness - is a wonder of our times." - The New Yorker.

Opening Act: Technotronic
Tour Opened: April 13 at Marine Stadium, Makuhari [Japan]
Tour Ended: August 5 in Nice, France
Costumes: Jean-Paul Gautier

Interesting Facts:

• Blond Ambition was the first mega tour of the nineties. It hit 27 cities over four months and sold out in every city, except Italy, where for weeks prior to the shows, the Pope had called for a boycott, resulting in the cancellation of one of the two shows planned.
• 18 trucks were used to get the 80x70-foot stage around. Over a hundred crew members spent two full days assembling the monstrous stage for every show.
• Choreographer Vincent Patterson recalls that Madonna wanted to "break every rule we can ... She wanted to make statements about sexuality, cross sexuality, the church ... But the biggest thing we tried to do is change the shape of concerts. Instead of just presenting songs, we wanted to combine fashion, Broadway, rock and the performance arts." And in the words of author, and good friend Matthew Rettenmund, "They succeeded".
• Pioneer Electronics sponsored the tour (Pepsi withdrew sponsorship after the "Like A Prayer" incident). It sponsored in exchange for rights to an exclusive laserdisc of the show, plus additional footage, Madonna promised not to release a competing video version for at least one year. However, since a video version in 1991 would compete with the May 1991 film, Truth or Dare, all plans were cancelled.
• Maclean's said the show "unfolds like a kaleidoscope of sexual decadence. The references range from Berlin cabarets to New York leather bars."
• Rollingstone called it "a nifty summation of the spectacle that is Madonna."
• Because of costly problems to Madonna's voice, four shows were cancelled (Chicago; Worcester, Massachusetts; Philadelphia, and a New York show in the Brendan Byrne Arena).
• Proceeds from the final New York show were donated to AMFAR totalling $300,000.
• In Toronto, the police received complaints that the show was lewd, and they threatened to charge Madonna if she did not agree to alter the masturbation scene during Like A Virgin. She refused to make the changes, yet no charges were made.
• HBO filmed and telecasted the final Blond Ambition show from Nice, France. It became the then highest rating concert event in HBO history.
