This year marks the 40th anniversary of Madonna’s debut album and she’s getting ready to celebrate it in style. The Queen of Pop will embark on a career retrospective Celebration Tour across North America and Europe along with an impressive list of special guests.

Madonna announced her 40th-anniversary tour with a cheeky video that pays homage to her 1991 documentary Truth or Dare and features the likes of Diplo, Judd Apatow, Jack Black, Lil Wayne, Eric André, Amy Schumer, and her opening act Bob the Drag Queen.

According to the press release on the singer’s official website, this tour will take us on “Madonna’s artistic journey through four decades and pays respect to the city of New York where her career in music began.” The singer said she’s excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give her fans the show they have been waiting for.

Madonna’s 40th-anniversary tour will kick off on July 15 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, Canada, before taking her everywhere from Detroit and Chicago to New York and Los Angeles. She’ll embark on the European leg of the tour on October 14 with a concert at London’s The O2 Arena before heading to Barcelona, Paris, Berlin, and more European cities.
