If you are a die-hard Madonna fan and plan to attend her Abu Dhabi concerts on June 3 and 4 on Yas Island, then you may want to stop reading now lest the spoilers revealed here may dampen the experience for you.

However, if curiosity is getting the upper hand, then be assured that the pop diva’s MDNA World Tour will be packing quite a punch as it kicks off on May 31, with website Madonnarama.com divulging quite a few insider secrets into the set list for the “Give Me All Your Luvin’” singer.

Girl gone wild

Think Madonna’s Super Bowl half-time performance and double the thrills, with Madonnarama reporting the tour opening up with chanting that leads into “Girl Gone Wild.”

Classic Madonna also features heavily in the tour, with “Material Girl” making an appearance in a small segment during the opening act, while an edited version of  “Papa Don’t Preach” will be crooned in the first half of the show.

According to the website, “Express Yourself” has some ‘huge surprises that will have everyone talking, but we won’t spoil these for the moment’, while Madonna’s infamous “Like A Virgin” is still hanging in the balance on whether it will make the cut for the tour.

A few surprise faces


The diva will have quite a few famous faces making an appearance on her world tour, albeit some of them crooning digitally on screen.

According to the site, “Revolver” will see Lil Wayne being featured in the backdrop video, while “I Don’t Give A” will see Nicki Minaj doing the same.

Madonna is also reportedly collaborating with Basque trio Kalakan for a revisited version of “Open Your Heart”, together with Sagarra Jo, with the former being featured throughout the whole show; there are supposedly crooning together none other than “Like A Prayer”.

Other tracks to brush up on before you head down to the concert include “Gang Bang”, “Hung Up”, “Give Me All Your Luvin’”, “Turn Up the Radio” and “Open Your Heart.”

The second part of the show is also expected to include a revisited version of the William Orbit remix of “Justify my Love”, including new lyrics.

Meanwhile, celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has also leaked images of Madonna’s stage design, adding that some venues will have a triple screen set-up behind the singer, while a special fan pit will be created in the middle of the extended stage.

Her ‘Madgesty’, as called by her many fans, kicks off her 76-date world tour on May 29.
