Ricardo Gomes Madonna
Fans across the nation can't wait to celebrate with Madonna!
The Queen of Pop announced additional North American dates for her upcoming The Celebration Tour shortly after tickets became available via presale on Thursday.
The 35-city event will commemorate the singer's four decades of hit music and saw fans flocking to Ticketmaster to snag tickets after the initial announcement earlier in the week.
Second shows have been added in Seattle, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Miami, Houston, Dallas, Austin, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Las Vegas, as well as a third show in New York.
Devotees described the stress of obtaining seats to the in-demand tour on social media, harking back to the struggles felt by countless Swifties when tickets to Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour were released in November.

"I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for," said Madonna, 64, previously said in a press release about the tour, which is poised to showcase a career-spanning setlist and pay tribute to the city where she was first launched to stardom: New York.
Kicking off July 15 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, The Celebration Tour will make stops in 35 North American cities, wrapping Oct. 7 in Las Vegas. Then, Madonna wil head overseas for European shows in London, Stockholm, Barcelona, Paris, Berlin and more from Oct. 14 through Dec. 1.
Tickets for the added dates will go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time at Madonna's website.
The Live Nation-produced tour was announced with a hilarious video featuring Diplo, Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Bob the Drag Queen, Kate Berlant, Larry Owens, Meg Stalter, Eric Andre and Amy Schumer referencing Madonna's iconic Truth or Dare documentary by playing the classic game with the superstar.
Known from RuPaul's Drag Race, Bob the Drag Queen (born Caldwell Tidicue) will perform as a special guest for every show of the tour.
