The second leg of the most successful solo tour of all time kicks off at the O2 arena in London. And here's what to expect:
Quote:
- Sky1/HD will premiere the S&S show live from Argentina @ 9PM GMT / 4PM EST.
There will also be an online streaming for those who can't watch it on TV.

Changes regarding the new tour:
- Paul Oakenfold promised to premiere some
new material from Madonna's upcoming Greatest Hits collection during his opening act.
- New rock version of
Dress You Up that replaces Heartbeat. The My Sharona inspired arrangement is still there and it's really good.
- On the
Holiday front instead there are some changes. As previously reported exclusively here the song already contained vocal lines and music samples of
Everybody (Dance and Sing Get Up And Do Your Thing) and the
new track Celebrate but now as a homage to the late Michael Jackson,
Madonna has been rehearsing the song with a whole middle part of MJ music in it. There's the famous "
Billie Jean" drum beat and the
"Wanna Be Starting Something" hook (the "Mama-se, mama-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa" stuff). Totally a dance number perfect for the 80's part of the show!! Fans will love it!
-
Frozen, that replaces Hung Up, we are told is a upbeat number with the hook of the Calvin Harris' song "I'm Not Alone" in the middle. The new Frozen also contains parts of another great Madonna classic from the 80's,
"Open Your Heart", a song that was rehearsed for the first part of this tour but that didn't make the final setlist replaced by Doli Doli. As for the video backdrop for Frozen they are using video outtakes from the original video by Chris Cunningham from 1998, re edited in a great new way!
- The show will also have some other
great surprises that have yet to be revealed.
OMFG CANT WAIT
