Madonna has announced a second Bangkok date for her “Rebel Heart” world tour, after the first show sold out in under an hour.
With this world tour, Madonna is promoting her latest album of the same name. It is the pop-queen’s tenth world tour after her record-breaking “The MDNA Tour” in 2012.
Tickets for the first show on February 9 went on sale on Saturday and reportedly sold out within an hour. A second show was announced yesterday for February 10 at the 15,000-seat Impact Arena.
The first show will be Madonna’s debut performance in the Thai capital. Thai media have heralded the Bangkok show capital as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
Madonna’s world tour comes to Asia in February, with shows in Taipei, followed by Bangkok, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Macau and Manila.
The “Queen of Pop” will perform twice in Macau at Melco Crown Entertainment’s soon-to-be-opened property, Studio City, on February 20 and 21. The shows will be held in the 5,000-seat Studio City Event Center.
Organizers also recently added a second date in Hong Kong. Tickets for the February 17 show were sold-out within 30 minutes of going on sale on September 25. The SCMP reported this as a record for the fastest Hong Kong concert to sell out. Subsequently, a second date was announced for February 18.
After the Asian leg of the tour, Madonna will head to Oceania in March for a number of dates in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Her previous world tour had been scheduled to include Australia in January 2013, but the shows were cancelled.
Madonna’s album has received generally good reviews from the press. The NY Daily News said: “Rebel Heart’s best moments boast some of the most finely structured pop melodies of Madonna’s 32-year career.” Staff Reporter
