Madonna to perform in Canada in January and February after hospital delay

Aug 15, 2023 | 2:59 PM

TORONTO – Madonna is set to celebrate her comeback in Canada in the new year.

The pop legend has rescheduled the North American leg of the Celebration Tour, which was delayed weeks ahead of its planned kickoff in Vancouver last month when Madonna landed in hospital.

The tour will now kick off in London on Oct. 14, and the singer will stop at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena on Jan. 11 and 12 and Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on Feb. 21, 2024.

Live Nation says it will honour tickets for the previously scheduled shows.

Madonna’s manager has said the performer developed a serious bacterial infection in late June, which led to a several-day stay in the ICU.
