The Queen of Pop herself, Madonna, will take center stage with her dazzling Celebration Tour for a multi-night run at the Kia Forum. Commemorating decades of lasting hits, Madonna uses this tour to reflect on her past in a daringly versatile way. Read on for everything you need to know about attending the shows.
Madonna will perform at the Kia Forum on March 4, 5, 7, 9 and 11. The show kicks off at 8:30 p.m. after a special opening performance by Bob The Drag Queen. Emulate her iconic 80s vibe by arriving in bold statement pieces, like fishnet stockings, leather pieces or ripped denim. Above all, your own unique style is both encouraged and welcomed by the pop idol.
Ensure you have a clear bag ready with you and leave your cash at home. The Forum is a cashless venue and only allows visitors a size 12”x 6”x 12” transparent container. A clear plastic bag works too, so long as it isn't bigger than gallon-sized.
Once you add your tickets to your mobile wallet, it is time to figure out parking. If you are driving to The Forum, parking passes are available for purchase ahead of time with options of either general parking (no oversized vehicles) for $45 or preferred parking plus with fast pass lane access included for $80. You can also opt for an Uber or metro ride.
Hot food, non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages are up for grabs. Carney’s, Craigs Vegan and Loteria are among other food choices too. On the other hand, you can also stop for dinner during your commute to the arena. Consider Dulan’s Soul Food Kitchen, Coni’Seafood or 1010 Wine & Events. See our full list of recommended pre-show restaurants.
Fans can prepare to see around 25 songs performed by Madonna, all of which is music derived from her more than four decades of being in the industry. And based on previous shows from this tour, Madonna will hit the stage sometime between 9:30 and 10 p.m. Opening with “Nothing Really Matters,” you can expect hits like “Vogue,” “Like a Virgin” and “Bitch I’m Madonna.” Her legacy will be honored and celebrated during her performance, letting her audience in on a musical journey that encapsulates her artistic journey and timeless impact.
The Kia Forum is located at 3900 W Manchester Blvd 90305.
