Madonna’s Unconventional Tour Openers: From Comedians To Drag Queens

Madonna has always been known for her daring and groundbreaking choices, both in her music and her live performances. One area where she consistently takes risks—one which isn’t often talked about—is in her selection of tour openers.

Over the years, Madonna has selected a range of different kinds of artists to hype up crowds before she takes to the stage, from more traditional musical acts and DJs to comedians and even drag queens. Now, her highly-anticipated The Celebration Tour, which begins later today in London, continues this trend.
