Madonna To Play Detroit in November
When Madonna toured in 2004, she skipped Detroit. When she hit the road in 2006, she sidestepped her native state again. When her latest batch of U.S. dates was announced in May, same story: no Detroit.
Now, Michigan fans can at last get their ticket money ready: Madonna will play Ford Field in mid-November, the Free Press has learned — the pop superstar’s first Michigan show in more than seven years.
Tickets will go on sale in about three weeks, says a music industry source.
Word of a possible Ford Field date has circulated inside Detroit concert circles for many weeks, and sources say the show was on-again, off-again as negotiations went on.
Madonna alluded Saturday to an upcoming concert in Detroit, telling an audience at the Traverse City Film Festival that she’ll play the city on her new tour. The 49-year-old star was there for the premiere screening of her film “I Am Because We Are,” a documentary about orphans in Malawi.
The North American leg of Madonna‘s world tour is scheduled to start Oct. 4 in New Jersey. The Detroit show will be her first area performance since a pair of shows at the Palace of Auburn Hills in August 2001, one of which was aired live by HBO.
