Madonna has been forced to postpone the first five shows of her Rebel Heart world tour, which wasn’t supposed to start until August anyway. Nothing’s wrong with the Queen of Pop physically, but she didn’t think the show was perfect.
Madonna announced the new schedule on her site. She was supposed to start the tour on Aug. 29 at Miami’s American Airlines Arena, but she won’t play there until Jan. 23. The “Girl Gone Wild” singer also has a second show scheduled there, which is now set for Jan. 24.
The show set for Philips Arena in Atlanta on Sept. 2 was moved to Jan. 20.
Lastly, the San Juan, Puerto Rico shows at Coliseo de Puerto Rico were rescheduled for Jan. 27 and 28. They were originally set for Sept. 5 and 6.
“As my fans already know, the show has to be perfect. Assembling all the elements will require more time than we realized,” Madonna said in a statement. “I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause my fans. I can promise you this show will be worth the wait. Can't wait to share it with all my Rebel Hearts out there.”
Madonna announced the tour to promote her new album, Rebel Heart, in March. Since then, she’s practiced for the tour with festival performances, including the one where she kissed Drake at Coachella.
The tour is now set to start on Sept. 9 in Montreal at the Bell Centre. She will continue touring North America through Oct. 27, when she performs in Los Angeles. In November and December, she heads to Europe. She will be taking a month off before the newly scheduled Atlanta show.
