10/22: Madonna bringing 'Rebel Heart' tour to Glendale

Madonna is bringing "Rebel Heart" to Glendale, one of only 35 stops on the singer's latest world tour, for a Thursday, Oct. 22 concert at Gila River Arena.

A ticket price has yet to be announced but tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Monday, March 23, at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com.

Madonna is, of course, the reigning Queen of Pop, the biggest-selling female artist ever and the highest-rated solo artist on the Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists countdown, second only to the Beatles. She's won a Golden Globe Award for acting (despite not being very good at it) and been inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (which outraged rock purists to no end even though she clearly earned her spot).

The tour takes its name from Madonna's new album, which hits the streets on Tuesday, March 10, in the States. The New York Times responded to her 13th album with, "They won't experience the celebrity of Madonna the fashion statement but the Madonna who has kept us listening for decades: Madonna the musician." "Living For Love," the new album's first single, is No. 1 on Billboard's dance charts -- her 44th appearance at the top of that chart.

Every North American ticket purchased online will come with an exclusive digital download of the super deluxe version of "Rebel Heart," which includes 6 bonus tracks.

The tour is produced by Live Nation Global Touring, whose president and chairman, Arthur Fogel, says, "Madonna continues to be one of the most successful touring artists in history – her shows are legendary and we are thrilled to have her going back on tour." Madonna's 2008/2009 Sticky & Sweet tour is the highest grossing tour of all time for a solo artist and the 2012 MDNA tour was the most successful tour of that year.
