The iconic Madonna is set to wrap up her Celebration Tour with a grand finale—a free concert on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on May 4th. The announcement came on Monday, with the Queen of Pop expressing her gratitude to fans by offering this special show after more than four decades of music that has defined generations.
In a press release, it was revealed that the concert will be a token of appreciation to her dedicated fan base for their unwavering support throughout the epic global journey of the tour. The event will take place in front of the Belmond Copacabana Palace Hotel, and entry will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis, with no tickets required.
Madonna, at 65 years old, is nearing the conclusion of the final leg of her tour. Before heading to Brazil, she will perform in various locations including Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mexico.
The Celebration Tour, which honors her illustrious four-decade career, commenced in London last October. The tour faced delays after Madonna’s hospitalization due to a serious bacterial infection in June of the previous year.
Despite the challenges, Madonna remains resilient and dedicated to her craft. At a recent show in Los Angeles, she candidly shared with the audience, “This show every night is not really so hard on me physically. It’s hard on me emotionally because I’m really telling you the story of my life. My heart is on my sleeve.” She added, “I’ve fallen off a lot of horses and broken a lot of bones…but nothing can stop me.”
The upcoming free concert in Brazil, touted as her “biggest show yet” according to her official website, will also be broadcast live on TV Globo, promising a memorable and exhilarating experience for fans worldwide.
