The MDNA Tour was the ninth concert tour by American singer Madonna, launched in support of her twelfth studio album, MDNA (2012). It was her fifth major collaboration with Live Nation and comprised 88 shows across Eurasia and the Americas. Following early rumors in 2011, the tour was officially announced after Madonna's performance at the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show in February 2012. The tour began on May 31, 2012, at Ramat Gan Stadium in Tel Aviv, and concluded on December 22 at Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes in Córdoba, Argentina. It marked her first performances in Scotland, Ukraine, Colombia, and the United Arab Emirates, as well as her first show in Turkey since the Girlie Show (1993). An Australian leg was planned for early 2013 but ultimately cancelled.
