Madonna’s Celebration World Tour just kicked-off, though the legendary popstar might have to pay a hefty fine after breaking a venue’s strict curfew.
The tour began over the weekend with two gigs at London’s O2 Arena, however, on Sunday night, Madonna didn’t end up hitting the stage until 9 p.m. due to reported technical issues. While the concert was set to end with a curfew of 10:30 p.m., her show ran an extra 30 minutes until 11 p.m. for a 140-minute set. The arena then cut her concert short, leaving her last four songs out of the set.
While shows at The O2 have a curfew time of 11 p.m. Monday through Saturday, the curfew time on Sunday is 10:30 p.m. This could land her with a £300,000 fine, as the O2’s AEG and Transport for London include fines of £10,000 a minute for shows that overrun.
However, she did not break the curfew for the wider Greenwich borough. A spokesperson told Metro that “we have looked into reports regarding the concert” and “we do not intend to investigate as the performance did not breach any Council rules.”
Madonna continued her London run with gigs on Tuesday and Wednesday before she heads to Belgium for a pair of shows at Antwerp’s Sportpaleis. From there, she’ll play a handful of shows across Europe later this year before heading to North America. The trek across the U.S. and Canada is set to run through April 2024.
The Celebration Tour was met with many consumer complaints when tickets first went on sale, as fans complained of “platinum” and “dynamic” ticket tactics, causing prices to surge. A month before the tour was set to begin, Madonna landed in the hospital, leaving shows in limbo. Then, a week before the North American shows began, Madonna announced she would be postponing dates in the U.S. and Canada, while the European trek would serve as the tour’s opening leg.
