Madonna opened her Madame X tour in Brooklyn on September 17, but some fans went home from the expensive show incredibly unhappy. The pop legend didn’t start her concert until almost 11 o’clock at night and didn’t end the show until almost one in the morning. Her set list mostly included songs from her most recent album and she performed very few of her iconic hits. One angry fan called the performance “tacky” and “uninspired.”
Madonna, 61, is playing 17 shows at the Brooklyn Academy of Music from now until October 12. Then, she’s taking the show to Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia and Miami Beach before the end of the year. In 2020, she’ll bring the concert to Lisbon, London and Paris.
One disappointed fan tweeted about opening night, “Madonna was 2 hours late in NY & played 20 songs but mostly non-hits from the last few releases. It was double the price for a stripped-down show.”

One person
wrote, “It was a tacky, uninspired mess that didn’t end till 1am. Hard pass.” They said Madonna “barely apologized” for her lateness and “used auto tune in nearly every song.” Fans also weren’t allowed to film or take photos of the show.
