Madonna’s Madame X Tour captivated sold-out audiences worldwide with its unparalleled intimacy. This rare and unforgettable experience was beautifully documented in Madame X, her 2021 concept film and digital soundtrack.
Madame X: Music From The Theater Xperience was recorded in January 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal. It was Madonna ‘s first time performing live in smaller venues since her 1985 Virgin Tour. Notably, her 2008 Sticky & Sweet Tour still holds the record for the highest-grossing concert tour ever by a female artist.
The Madame X tour introduced the world to Madonna’s fearless persona, Madame X, a secret agent traveling the world, changing identities, fighting for freedom, and bringing light to dark places. Mesmerising performances of several songs from Madame X(Madonna’s 14th studio album) are part of the soundtrack, including Dark Ballet, I Rise, and I Don’t Search I Find, which topped the Hot Dance Club Songs chart in 2020 to become her 50th No 1 hit. The soundtrack also features live versions of global favourites Vogue, Human Nature, Like A Prayer, and Frozen.
Madame X: Music From The Theater Xperience will be released as a 3LP set on black vinyl, as well as a special limited-edition 3LP picture disc, available exclusively through Madonna.com, Rhino.com and Warner Music Group D2C stores around the world.
With over 300 million records sold worldwide, Madonna reigns as the best-selling female artist of all time. Her celebrated career has earned countless accolades, including seven Grammy Awards, 24 ASCAP Pop Music Awards, and numerous international trophies, including BRIT, Bravo Otto, Danish Music, Edison, GAFFA, International Dance Music, Ivor Novello, Juno, MTV, and World Music Awards, among many others. In 2008, she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
