Madonna ‘is secretly planning a Greatest Hits tour to celebrate 40 years in music – with multiple shows already booked at London’s O2 Arena’

• The music icon, 64, is allegedly set to announce dates in a few weeks
• The tour will also be Madonna’s first compilation show in history
• The singer will mark 40 years since she released her debut album in 1983
• Madonna last took to the road with her Madame X tour in 2019 and 2020

Madonna is reportedly planning her first ever Greatest Hits tour, with multiple shows already booked at London’s O2 Arena.

The music icon, 64, is allegedly set to announce dates for a mammoth run of shows beginning at the end of the year, to celebrate four decades since she released her debut album in 1983.

The tour will also be Madonna’s first compilation show in history and will see her perform an array of hits from her illustrious career, having previously opted to focus on her new music.

A source told The Sun: ‘Madonna is trying something completely new — and really giving fans, young and old, what they want. 

‘She wants to capitalise on tracks like Frozen and Material Girl popping off on TikTok, and introduce her back catalogue to an entirely new generation.

‘Previously she has always wanted to be forward-facing and focus on whatever new album she’s plugging. But now, in her mid-sixties, she is going back to basics and once again reinventing herself.’

It’s thought that the show’s will be ‘no-holds barred and suitably risqué’ as Madonna’s prior shows, with the star no stranger to raunchy displays on social media.

Madoona’s previous tour saw her perform at significantly smaller theatre venues, but for this Greatest Hits tour she is expected to take to the stage and huge stadiums.

MailOnline has contacted representatives for Madonna for comment.

Last year, Madonna hinted that she was ready to get back on the road and tour again, telling Variety: ‘I want to go on tour again, I’m a creature of the stage. That is my happy place.’

Madonna last took to the stage in London’s O2 Arena during her Rebel Heart tour in 2015, the same year she famously took a tumble during a performance at the BRIT Awards.

While Madonna performed at 75 theatre venues during her Madame X tour, she was forced to cancel several shows due to recurring hip and knee injuries. 

She first took to the road to tour around the UK in 1987, with her Who’s That Girl World Tour.

Her performances have been no stranger to controversy, having famously angered the Catholic Church in 1990 when she simulated masturbation on stage, leading Pop John Paul II to call for a boycott of her Blonde Ambition tour.

It was during that same tour that Madonna donned her now-iconic Jean Paul Gaultier conical bra during a sell-out show in Japan.

Wow: It comes after Madonna was scarcely recognisable in the latest racy offerings she uploaded to her Instagram page

In 2006 she also infuriated the Church of England by staging a mock crucifixion during her Confessions tour in LA.

She decked herself out in bondage gear including a busty sheer lace top and flounced around her bed, biting down seductively on a riding crop.
