Apples388 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I think so. I have a hunch the next tour will be hit-heavy and shamelessly so. There was a reactionary element to Reinvention being the way it was, not just because American Life under-performed but also because Drowned World Tour's reviews praised the theatricality but bemoaned the lack of hits and as such there was a fear of slow ticket sales etc. We won't go back to talking about MDNA's underperformance of nor (zzzzz.....) but there's no doubt about the fact that the tour did fantastic business but there were also some 'slower' sales and critiques about the setlist. So it follows that my gut feeling is that the 2015 tour will have its fair share of hits. Meaning mostly '80s and '90s, Music and Confessions. MY THEORY OKAY. You can kill me later.
Vogue992 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I actually agree with you. I feel that the next tour will feature more hits than the MDNA tour But i don't think it's a bad thing, she can still do a tour as spectacular/theatrical as the MDNA tour with more well-known songs in the setlist!
Jairo Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 And I agree. I want to see another hits. I mean. This will be my 3rd time watching her and I don't want the same hits like MDNA Tour (Well, only Like a Prayer).
Fuzzy Dream Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I want to see Like A Prayer, Vogue, La Isla Bonita, and Human Nature again.
Vogue992 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I want to see Like A Prayer, Vogue, La Isla Bonita, and Human Nature again. +1 And Express Yourself. To me, those songs should be included everytime she goes on tour.
Starman Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Her instagram is full of hints from the past , maybe she feels nostalgic , im sure it will be great
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Don't forget fan favorite Candy Shop.
HolidayGuy Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 MDNA did have more Immaculate-era classics than DW Tour, though. But, I would welcome even more classic tracks in the next tour.
Guest Rachelle of London Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I want to see Like A Prayer, Vogue, La Isla Bonita, and Human Nature again. Same
Guest bluejean Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 But will we get the Who Dat Be version of Into The Groove??
VogueMusic Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I don't know about that... The MDNA Tour was one of the few tours to feature at least a handful of her most iconic hits - with at least the three big ones performed pretty damn close to their original orchestrations (though edited) - I mean, who thought we'd ever get that again? This idea that MDNA wasn't hit heavy is kind of weird to me, as it pretty much follows the pattern she always uses...and I have a feeling that the next tour will be pretty much the same, particularly if the record is a hit. If not, perhaps then she'll do more hits....as at this stage in her career, if a record goes through the American Life treatment again, that seems to be the only situation I see her falling back on the hits.
Guest material_boy Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I would love to see more hits on the next tour. Bring on the 80s and 90s.
Phineaspoe Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 My theory is that this time she'll only start two hours late, instead of three! Or maybe she'll just have surprise day - just show up and announce on Facebook: "Dublin, are you with me? Show TONIGHT. Tickets on sale NOW. #yaaaaaaaassssss" On a more serious note, I absolutely agree. If she does go on a big-scale tour - and there's no reason to believe she won't, although I'd love if she scaled it back a bit - then it makes sense to sell the show as a "return to roots" or some bull like that and bring out the 80s hits - whether or not the album does well would not matter, just like with Confessions. And this is an important distinction, in my opinion: to reeeallly bring in the dough, she'd be smart to pull the 80s ghosts out of the vault. Essentially: old and new, and very little in between.
madgemusic85 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Album-wise, MDNA is this decade's Erotica.
PaulaAbdul Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 She really needs to include more hits on her next tour for the sake of the casual fans so I hope she does!! So many of them seemed really bored/disappointed with the lack of hits on MDNA, which is understandable.
Cal1974 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I have always said Madonna could have the highest grossing tour ever if she actually done a greatest hits tour with the right marketing. People would come who have never seen her before and she would fill stadiums the world over. But none of your rock versions of Hung Up, a proper greatest hits!
GregVsMatt Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 That would be awesome for Australian audiences if she comes here next tour - and we want Like A Prayer after 25 years
Cal1974 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 That would be awesome for Australian audiences if she comes here next tour - and we want Like A Prayer after 25 years Greatest hits + overlooked territories = record breaking tour. Dyke's record in OZ would be smashed in no time.
karbatal Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I hope she goes for the art and not for the records! I like MDNA because she really tried incredibly hard and CONQUERED!
ryan Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I don't think she would ever do another reinvention
Matt Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 So, Re-invention had the hits so that the tickets would sell? I don't think the setlist was known at the time most tickets were sold. I don't think Madonna will ever have trouble to sell a tou and I don't think she will change her setlist that much. She has the some amount of classics every tour from 2006 onwards. As a fan i take everything:)

nick00 Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I want to see Like A Prayer, Vogue, La Isla Bonita, and Human Nature again. No offense to anyone at all, but I'm so sick of hearing these same songs & several other songs over & over again. The MDNA setlist sucked to me on paper, but the tour wind up being one of her most creative & darkest ever!
loowee Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 MDNA Tour had: Papa Don't Preach Hung Up Express Yourself Open Your Heart Justify My Love Vogue Erotica Human Nature Like A Virgin Like A Prayer which were all classic staple M hits, so I'm not really understanding this "lack of classics" talk.

This. Except for HN being a staple hit. In what universe did that happen? I need to see the receipts please. Hung Up was a hit an I don't think you can compare DWT and MDNA at all. DWT had three associated albums, Bedtime Stories (eventhough she only performed two songs of it), Ray of Light and Music, which were all commercially succesful. And she only performed songs from those albums as well as some non-album songs and LIB and Holiday. MDNAT was only in association with one album and included numerous hits and some "surprises", while MDNA the album didn't produce any major hit singles. (AL for example did much better in Europe than it did in the US, but of course the US in the only country worth looking at. :nails: ) I don't think Madonna herself sees RIT as a greatest hits tour. After all, it did feature most of the AL album and you can't really say that all the songs included were hits or rather her "greatest hits". I think RIT was mainly seen as an opportunity to perform some of the old songs again after not touring for 8 years and then coming back with a tour that only had two oldies included.
Guest eroticerotic Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) i definitely think it will be hits heavy and fan favorites if she's touring australia! Edited September 20, 2014 by eroticerotic

Madonna has so many hits that you can never cover them all, but of what you list above, PDP was about one minute long, Hung Up was a very different version, as was LAV, Erotica (was actually Candy Shop mash up), JML was an interlude etc. We are hardcore fans who love the dark and dangerous stuff. The reality is that less people are interested in her new stuff (unless she can have another success like COADF). She will always get an audience, but a lot of that audience wants to see a lot of classic hits. Its not unreasonable to expect that.

Only LAP, EY, and Vogue were the only global hits performed close to the original version.
tasteinmen Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I loved it when Papa Don't Preach started, it worked so well, it tied current Madonna with classic Madonna, it's a shame the song was only a minute long. It would be great if she included more hits, but I loved what she did with the tracks from MDNA, the dark opening section was fantastic. I wish she'd stop messing with classics like OYH and just play the original or the version from BAT.
