The rumored setlist is false. Mike Dean who worked on the album said he has been working on rearrangements of the old songs including Holiday. So Holiday is definitely on the setlist.

What's wrong with Ghosttown? It's one of her best singles in years. Obviously she's going to be doing the singles from RH including Ghosttown. Behind the Bars was mentioned on another site as something that would be used in one of the video interludes while she is changing costumes not something she would actually be singing live.

I'll say it. From day one. Including today. I HATE GHOST TOWN! HATE! Definitely among the 2 or 3 M songs of all time that I despise (Cry Baby, Jimmy Jimmy level). Yeah, i hate GT. Madge-stan card revoked for now I guess. I hope it's an interlude during a costume change. If it must be in the show at all. The video, the song, the production. I'm in true hate.

"Ghosttown" is one of the best songs that Madonna has ever recorded.For years,I had been waiting for her to release a stunning ballad single,and now she finally has.

In general, i love Rebel Heart the album but the singles have been so poor. She literally chose the 3 weakest songs on the album - so many great tunes (I'm not even a lover of Devil Pray but it beats the other 3) - there's Inside Out, Best Night, Illuminati, Unapologetic (which was really a risk that paid off, IMO), Wash All Over Me, Body Shop, Heartbeark City, Sex - all top notch material and they choose Ghost Town and Bitch I'm Madonna. If i knew nothing of her album cuts and were a casual or non-fan, i would think this era was total garbage.

For the most part,I'm satisfied with the three single choices,but.....I think "Bitch I'm Madonna" should have been the first single.Like Diplo says,it represents Madonna more than anything.I think "Iconic" and "Inside Out" would be great singles,too.With this album,she has an abundance of great tunes so it was probably difficult to narrow it down and pick the singles.

For me the singles would be:

1. Livin For Love

2. Beautiful Scars

3. Devil Pray

4. Bitch I'm Maradona

5. Ghost Town

6. Best Night

7. Rebel Heart

8. Bodyshop

That's great this is a classic Madonna hit that doesn't get performed enough.

Mike Dean is doing music direction for the new tour? LOL

"Express Yourself" still shits on everything released during the last 20 years

Take a look at his Wikipedia, Soul. He has a lenghty discography for which one name and one album stick out like a sore thumb. This'll be something totally different it seems the trap remix of Holiday

Wish I had some duckets, if she came by my house, just to hear Holiday or Lucky Star .

I really wanna hear her do By Alien Means now . Like a virgin...

You aint missin nothing with that tune, but yes gotta love her. My favorite song is Open Your Heart. I was just jamming to "Body Shop" today in the car. God I love that tune.

If she's bringing out the classics,she better bring out "Angel" and "Causing A Commotion"! I love those songs

This is one artist who is sooooooooo overrated... Whew got that off my chest Carry on...

.

Hey but at least she's consistently overrated if everyone loved her it'd be boring.

So, according to French website MCM, this is the setlist of the Rebel Heart Tour:

Iconic

Hold Tight
Ghosttown

Love Don't Live Here Anymore

HeartBreakCity

Wash All Over Me / Rain

Joan of Arc

Devil Pray

Between the Bars

Deeper and Deeper

Justify My Love

Inside Out

Like a Virgin

S.E.X

Holy Water / Vogue

Dress You Up / Give Me All Your Luvin'

Into the Groove

True Blue

Body Shop

Unapologetic Bitch

La Isla Bonita

Who's That Girl

Bitch I'm Madonna

Rebel Heart

Living For Love

Here's another probably fake set list. But it's a little more believable than the first one. No idea why it has Holy Water/Vogue twice and I don't know what Goodbye is. Maybe it's the Power of Goodbye. I would love that.

even though "Holy Water" features a sample of "Vogue",I'm not sure if it's a good idea to perform these songs back to back."Holy Water" is outrageous and should be followed by another truly outrageous song....like "Justify My Love" perhaps

See but Holy Water has that hilarious run-down of sex toys and what not that could replace the vintage Hollywood rap from Vogue, especially as most of her "new" fanbase wouldn't know a Rita Hayworth from a Rita Oral.

No,that part is in the song "S.E.X"

interesting opinion by a fan.....

I hate the idea of opening with Iconic... I'd open with "Best Night" as a soft opener/ possibly a video leading into a performance, the first few lines are golden and a perfect fit for opening a show...

and then seque into another song, possibly a classic..

what do you guys think? I think "Iconic" works well as the opener,but this guy makes a good point.

LOL well she maybe can mix those two together then, they're almost the same song anyway. Call it the Scandal-Less Sex Suite.

Best Night rules! I wish she would do this. Or Illuminati - both would be killer openers. I'm bummed it seems she's not doing Inside Out, Illuminati, Or Best Night - my 3 fave tracks.

i think the first two songs should be "Iconic" and "Illuminati".

SoulAlive said:

ACT 1---

*Iconic (mixed with a little bit of "Spotlight")

*Bitch I'm Madonna (I think it's a safe bet that this will be the second song in the show)

*Illuminati (this should be a dark,compelling performance that deals with rumors about fame and the illuminati and the everything-is-not-what-it-seems idea,which seems to be a recurring theme in her music)

*Drowned World/Substitute For Love

*Rebel Heart (although this song would probably work better in the 4th section,I couldn't resist putting it here in the first section)

my idea of how the first segment (act 1) should be

Interesting. But that's not going to be enough songs more casual fans will know.

I think the rumored setlist is more realistic. It starts with Bitch I'm Madonna, then Into the Groove, Holy Water, Dress You Up, Vogue, Sex. Her first sections are usually uptempo and in your face shocking!
