The rumors began circulating as soon as Madonna confirmed her first new studio album in years, a dance-floor-ready project she’s releasing in 2026 after reuniting with Warner Records, the label where her career first took off. � For many, the idea of a tour to support this release wasn’t just logical — it felt inevitable. And now, those hopes are looking like they’ll become reality.
