Concert organizer Mojo Concerts warned fans before the concert to be aware that Madonna might not be able to keep strictly to the previously reported start time. That statement does not appear unfounded, because the pop icon indeed start an hour late. Only at 0:15 pm, the diva left the stage again.
In the two intervening hours but Madonna makes for plenty of entertainment. It is almost three and a half years since Madonna for the last time seen in the Netherlands, when she made her debut in the then newly opened Ziggo Dome. That concert felt like one long video clip. Although spectacular and amazing, but directed to the millisecond.
In this world tour, following her this spring released album Rebel Heart , Madonna let the reins just a little more. In relation to the MDNA Tour from 2012 the decor is less impressive and innovative, but it is amply compensated with exuberant clothes and energetic choreography. Moreover, she sings a lot more live

Samurai Clothing
The opener is Iconic The audience stared at the bloodied face of boxer Mike Tyson. Madonna descends on stage in a cage while surrounded by geishas and male dancers in samurai garb. Her old pophitje Burning Up is transformed into rock track, which Madonna herself accompanies on electric guitar.
Madonna kicks as ever against sacred cows when they Holy Water and Devil Pray performed. The audience sees scantily clad dancers with nuns caps pole dancing to great crosses and later down Madonna with a nepdoornenkrans ornamented head of one of her dancers in her crotch before she ends up straddling a table.
Controversy
This first set is promising for those hoping for more controversy, but the rest of the show is considerably braver. We see Madonna and her entourage do strongly sexually explicit moves in a 50s-setting for the song Body Shop , while moments later very sweet True Blue is sung. The stunning staircase scene in Heartbeat City reminiscent of Westside Story.
In the next block Madonna brings the audience in Latin American mood when the matador comes for Living For Love . Between those festive Latin music is La Isla Bonita no stranger once biting and just as fun is a medley of 80s -hits Dress You Up, Into The Groove and Lucky Star . The acoustic version of Secret there may be.
Wedding
More than in her previous show the pop star makes contact with her audience. “Do you know how many drinks you’ll need to have a good time?” Madonna asked her fans. “Not one when you’re with me!” During another song she bites a fan in his fingers and she throws a bouquet into the audience after she asked if anyone in the crowd who wants to marry her.
The final is completely in style 20s and ’30s. With edited versions of hits like Music and Material Girl Madonna take the crowd back to the ‘Jazz Age’, including topless Josephine Baker lookalike. The icing on the cake is its breakthrough hit Holiday . Madonna knows anything less means than the previous time put a huge entertaining show
