The Celebratio­n is on.

Madonna’s Celebratio­n Tour is a go now that the pop icon is on the mend. Madonna suffered a bacterial infection that left her hospitaliz­ed in June and the initial North American dates were postponed. The new ones have been announced and they take place after the previously scheduled European dates.

Area shows now include Dec. 13 and

14 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, which are the original dates, and Dec. 16 at Barclays, which was originally scheduled for Aug. 27 at Madison Square Garden, in a venue change.

Fans holding tickets to the previously scheduled MSG concert on Aug. 27 will have an exclusive opportunit­y to purchase tickets to the newly added Barclays Center performanc­e on Dec.

16, according to promoter Live Nation. Tickets for the original show at MSG will be automatica­lly refunded to the original purchaser by Monday, Aug. 28, and Ticketmast­er will then provide all affected fans with a dedicated link and a unique code based on the quality of their previous seat locations to purchase tickets to the new date at Barclays.

Presales for the Dec. 16 Barclays show begin Tuesday, Aug. 29, and run through Thursday, Aug. 31. If tickets remain, they will go on sale to the general public starting at 10 a.m. Friday, Sept. 1, through Ticketmast­er.

Other 2024 area shows include Jan.

22, 23 and 29 at Madison Square Garden, reschedule­d from the 2023 shows on Aug. 23, 24 and 26, respective­ly. The Material Girl also plays Jan. 25, 2024, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelph­ia, reschedule­d from Dec. 20, 2023. Tickets for the previously scheduled shows will be honored on the new dates.

Resale tickets begin at $120 on Ticketmast­er for the tour. Due to scheduling conflicts, shows July 27 in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Dec. 22 in Nashville; Jan. 15,

2024, in San Francisco; Jan. 18 in Las Vegas; and Jan. 20 in Phoenix have been canceled. Refunds for the dates will be issued at the original point of purchase.

The Celebratio­n Tour will now begin Oct. 14 at the O2 for a run in London, followed by shows in Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy and the Netherland­s. The North American leg will begin on Wednesday, Dec. 13, in Brooklyn.

“To be able to move my body and dance just a little bit makes me feel like the Luckiest Star in the world!” said Madonna on social media two weeks ago accompanie­d by a video of her dancing. “Thank you to all of my fans and friends! You must be my lucky stars too!”
