Madonna adds second Austin concert to tour due to high demand

Thank your lucky star(s), Madonna fans. The queen of pop is set to play a second concert in Austin this fall.

Madonna on Tuesday announced The Celebration Tour, a 40th-anniversary showcase of her greatest hits, including a Sept. 21 stop at the Moody Center. On Thursday, the tour added a Sept. 22 date "due to overwhelming demand," according to a news release from producers Live Nation.

The additional Austin concert is one of 13 new dates on the tour. Bob the Drag Queen will open up for Madonna.

This will be the second time in her four-decade, chart-topping career that Madonna has routed a tour through Austin. She last brought her show to the Live Music Capital of the World in 1985, as The Virgin Tour, her debut major U.S. tour, came to the Frank Erwin Center.

Tickets for the Austin concerts go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday via madonna.com/tour and moodycenteratx.com.
