Big concert news came hours ago as Madonna officially announced the itinerary for her new world tour and Dallas makes the list. This marks her first show this way since the Blonde Ambition tour hit Reunion arena 22 years ago. I was stunned that she wouldn’t be hitting Cowboys Stadium, but this makes it much closer to home. This news only adds to her recent return to the pop culture radar with her new movie W/E, Sunday’s Super Bowl performance and her release last week, “Give Me All Your Luvin'” from her upcoming album M.D.N.A.
Will she repeat some of the imagery of her Super Bowl performance that recalled a lot of Kylie’s Aphrodite tour? Mmmmm…hopefully not, but please, Madge, no lip syncing like you did during most of your performance.
Madonna is scheduled to play the American Airlines Center, Oct. 20 with tickets to begin going on sale to the general public Feb. 21.
Thank God The Material Girl is FINALLY heading back to Texas, in Dallas AND Houston. For years she reportedly stayed away due her dislike of the Bush administration, but luckily that is all behind us. I guess she figured that holding a bitter grudge against a state that held tens of thousands of her loyal “money-spending” fans and supporters was not right. Several industry insiders have already predicted that every concert show on this 2012 tour will more than likely sell out withon minutes of ticket sales. GOOD LUCK finding tickets to this one!!!
hmmmm….it appears i’m in town for this show! should be fun!
I was at the first Dallas show of the Blonde Ambition tour. She had been in Houston for a few weeks before as her opening was in Houston. No doubt this confused the M-one, as she thanked the Dallas crowd – by calling us Houston. She was playfully booed and she immediately apologized.
But she hasn’t been back to Dallas since. That’s always been the rumor as to why.
Looks like for whatever reason, she’s happy to come back to Big D!
Yeah, good luck affording her astronomical ticket prices. Thanks a lot, Material Girl. Way to alienate your LONG time fans.
It does suck that artists have to charge so much for tickets, but until scalping is outlawed, which it wont because secondary resale markets exist for basically everything, then this is what the market will bare.
Would it be fair for an artist like Madonna to charge low prices only for scalpers to charge like 1000times the face value?
Her prices are right in line with any other artist right now.
There are multiple reasons why a tour producer books a concert in a particular city, in a particular venue and on a specific date, and especially the large size of a Madonna tour. None of the reasons have anything to do with the performer’s past mix ups on stage or the performer’s dislike of the U.S. president. To continue to believe it does diminishes concert production back to the same era and same level as Tiger Beat magazine.
