Madonna is back in training for her highly anticipated Festival Tour after being hospitalized in June. The 64-year-old pop icon has taken over the Nassau Coliseum in New York City for two months in preparation for the global tour.
Additionally, he has reportedly secured a spot in the UK for rehearsals ahead of his opening night at London’s O2 Arena on October 14. Resources shared with Sun that Madonna is on the mend but “has been chomping at the bit to get back to training.”
According to insiders, Madonna has not only booked the Coliseum in New York but also booked another venue in London for the final week of dress rehearsals. “Normally he would have wanted to hold the final week at the same place he started but due to Blink 182’s comeback show at the O2 his team won’t have access until the day before,” the source added.
This tight timeline meant Madonna had less than 48 hours to make final preparations before taking the stage.

Many US dates have been pushed back to 2024, with some cancellations. The tour, initially intended to mark the 40th anniversary of her iconic single “Holiday,” follows Madame X’s theater-focused performances in 2019 and 2020.
After four sold-out O2 Arena shows, the tour will travel through France, Italy, Denmark, Portugal and Germany before returning to London for two additional shows in December—after that, the tour heads to the US, Canada and Mexico with rescheduled dates , per BBC.
However, complications have arisen due to venue changes required by some cities, leading to cancellations in Tulsa, San Francisco, Phoenix and Las Vegas. Unfortunately, a Nashville concert in support of trans rights organizations on December 22nd has also been removed from the schedule.
Refunds for canceled shows will be processed at the point of purchase. Original ticket holders will receive a refund and priority access to the rescheduled show.
