Madonna To Bring Tour To NZ?

Madonna today announced her 'Rebel Heart World Tour' which beging in late August, and Billboard is reporting that “In early 2016, Madonna will take Rebel Heart to Asia and Australia, with those dates expected to be announced by the end of March,”.

The 56-year-old last toured Australia with The Girlie Show in 1993 and has not returned despite promising to bring her critically acclaimed stage shows back in 2006, 2009 and 2012.

“She has never played in Southeast Asia, and she hasn't been in Australia or New Zealand in probably 25 years," Live Nation's Global Touring division chairman Arthur Fogel told Billboard.

"It's kind of bizarre when you think about it, that a superstar like that hasn't been to a pretty regular touring area for 25 years."

The trek is in support of her latest album Rebel Heart, which is released in New Zealand on Friday and features the lead single Living for Love.
