In a dazzling and emotional moment for the global music industry, Madonna, the indomitable Queen of Pop, has officially announced her final world tour: the “Celebration II: The Farewell Tribute Tour”, set for 2026. Following the massive success of her 2023–2024 Celebration Tour, which sold out arenas across continents and reignited her status as a live performance powerhouse, Madonna is preparing to bid farewell to the stage in grand, unforgettable fashion.
Dubbed a “global pop requiem”, the Celebration II Tour will not only mark the end of Madonna’s touring career but serve as a sweeping retrospective of her four-decade reign over the music, fashion, and cultural worlds. With dates, cities, and surprise elements already confirmed, the tour promises to be nothing short of historic.
A Farewell Like No Other
In a press release issued from her management company Maverick, Madonna called Celebration II her “last love letter to the fans, the dance floors, and the decades that shaped me.”
“This isn’t just a goodbye,” the 66-year-old legend stated. “It’s a celebration of freedom, rebellion, heartbreak, empowerment, and everything in between. I want to give my heart on that stage one last time.”
Sources close to the production say the tour has been in development since mid-2024 and will be an evolution of the visual and musical spectacle seen in her previous tour—only “grander, riskier, and more vulnerable.”
Tour Details: Cities, Dates & Venues
The Celebration II Farewell Tribute Tour will kick off on March 1, 2026, in Los Angeles, Madonna’s adopted home, and will span five continents, with over 60 shows scheduled across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania.

What to Expect: A Tribute to Four Decades of Reinvention
Madonna is reportedly curating a setlist that spans her entire discography—from 1983’s Holiday to 2019’s Madame X, and even unreleased material from what insiders are calling her “secret farewell EP” to be released alongside the tour. There will be multiple costume changes, cinematic interludes, and collaborations with younger artists she’s mentored over the years.
According to tour creative director Stéphane Sednaoui, Celebration II will not just be a pop concert, but a “multi-sensory memoir on stage”:
“It’s not about reproducing her greatest hits—it’s about reimagining them as stories from a woman who broke the world open, again and again.”
Fans can also expect surprise guests, holographic recreations of some of her iconic moments, and tributes to figures who shaped her career—from Prince and Michael Jackson to Jean Paul Gaultier and David Bowie.
Madonna’s Legacy: “She Changed the Rules”
Madonna’s influence across music, fashion, LGBTQ+ rights, and feminism is undeniable. With over 300 million records sold, 12 Billboard Hot 100 No.1 singles, and countless reinventions, she remains a cultural force like no other.
“She didn’t just break the mold—she melted it and made her own,” said pop historian Dr. Alan Reyes. “This farewell tour will cement her legacy, not just as the Queen of Pop, but as the architect of modern pop stardom.”
Fans, many of whom have followed her for decades, are already referring to Celebration II as a generational milestone—a moment to honor the artist who helped shape global pop culture from the 1980s through the 2020s.
