Madonna has announced a new global tour featuring four decades of her “greatest hits” and Chicago will be among the 35 stops.
After announcing a global "Greatest Hits" tour earlier this week, overwhelming demand has led pop icon Madonna to add a second Chicago show.
Known as the "Queen of Pop," Madonna is slated to perform on Aug. 9 and Aug. 10 at the United Center, with the tour celebrating four decades of her chart-topping music.
In addition to Chicago, a second show was added to the following North American cities:
- Seattle
- Toronto
- Montreal
- Boston
- Miami
- Houston
- Dallas
- Austin
- Los Angeles
- San Francisco
- Las Vegas
A third show in New York City has also been tacked on to the tour.
The singer announced the tour in a star-studded YouTube video in which she is seen playing a game of "truth or dare" with a number of celebrities, including Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Judd Apatow and more.
At one point in the video, Amy Schumer dares the pop star to "do a world tour" and play her greatest hits.
After polling other members in the room, Madonna agrees and the group erupts in cheers.
The tour will be Madonna's 12th, but "the first to celebrate four decades of music and her greatest hits," according to Live Nation. It will also feature "a one-of-a-kind experience with special guest Bob the Drag Queen," also known as Caldwell Tidicue.
The tour is set to bring Madonna to multiple cities in the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and Europe.
