She’s the original queen of pop, the inimitable mistress of many faces, the bestselling solo touring female artist of all time, and she only needs one name: Madonna.
Her Celebration Tour is the original “eras,” honoring all the different sounds and styles throughout her four-decade career. From “Material Girl” to “Like A Virgin,” “Frozen” to “Vogue,” “Hung Up” to “La Isla Bonita,” “Express Yourself” and more, this is going to be one dance party you don’t soon forget!

Madonna comes to the Chase Center on Tuesday, Feb. 27, and we’ve got a guide to everything you need to know before you go.
First of all, whether you’re using rideshare to get to the venue or driving yourself, we highly recommend buffering your travel time with an extra half hour or so to account for heightened traffic in the area. Then go ahead and add another 15 minutes to handle your parking your own car.
The Chase Center offers space to pre-paid parking pass holders at two distinct garages: the Mercedes-Benz Garage, accessible from 390 16th St. and 99 Warriors Way; and the Warriors Way Garage, accessible at 150 Warriors Way. Both garages are set to open at 5 p.m. the day of the concerts, and both garages close at midnight. You can learn even more about how to reach these garages at chasecenter.com/parking.
If you didn’t nab a limited parking pass in time, there are third-party operated garages recommended by the Chase Center at 1800 Owens St., and the corner of 19th Street and Illinois Street. When there are no events at Oracle Park, the Chase Center also recommends parking at Lot A at 74 Mission Rock St.
Yes, we’re sure you have the cutest purse picked out for this highly-fashionable show, but if your bag is any larger than 14” long and 6” wide, it’s going to have to be checked at the bag valet on Terry A Francois Blvd for a $10 fee. Backpacks are never allowed, although smaller fashion backpacks and diaper bags that look like backpacks can get a pass if they meet the 14” x 6” requirement. All bags will be searched and screened.
First of all, get your tickets for Tuesday’s show here. Now that that’s out of the way:
Printed tickets are a thing of the past at the Chase Center, because the venue has gone completely contactless—at least for entry. Make sure your mobile ticket is ready to be scanned once you get to security, either on your TicketMaster app or the Warriors + Chase Center Mobile App.
It’s always a good idea to download and access your ticket page before leaving the house, in case of a lowered cell signal due to crowds or lack of on-site WiFi. However, please be advised that screenshots of digital tickets don’t always work. Be sure to read the fine print of your mobile ticket.
Madonna has long been a supporter of the LGBTQ+ community, and she tapped Bob the Drag Queen to kick off the Celebration Tour stops “Purse First.” The winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season eight will get the crowd on its feet and ready for the queen to absolutely reign.
Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and the music starts at 8:30 p.m., so don’t miss a moment!
The Celebration Tour brings you Madonna's hit-filled catalog in chronological order, so be prepared for a walk down memory lane that will absolutely blow your mind. From "Into the Groove" to "Holiday," "Erotica" to "Justify My Love," "Human Nature" to "Die Another Day" and more, it's going to be a nice that makes you scream "Bitch, that's Madonna!"
