Madonna announces second Bangkok show as part of world tour

Madonna has added a second show in Bangkok for her Rebel Heart world tour after the first concert sold out in under an hour, organisers said on Wednesday.

Thai media had hyped Madonna’s first-ever show in the Thai capital as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” that would “make history” in Thailand.

Tickets for the February 9 show went on sale on Saturday and sold out within an hour, according to Thai promoter BEC-Tero, which on Wednesday announced a second show for February 10 at the 15,000-seat Impact Arena.

Madonna’s world tour comes to Asia in February, with shows in Taipei, followed by Bangkok, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Macau, Manila, Auckland and several stops in Australia.

Tickets in Bangkok range from 2,000 baht to 16,000 baht (Dh204 to Dh1,639) as well as pricier VIP packages that include access to pre-show parties.
