The Confessions Tour was the sixth world concert tour by American singer-songwriter Madonna to support her album Confessions on a Dance Floor. According to Billboard Madonna's tour grossed $260.1 million[1] with a total of 60 shows and 1.2 million people in paid attendance through North America, Europe, and Japan, making it highest grossing tour ever for a female artist.
Madonna mentioned in an interview UK newspaper The Guardian on November 20, 2005 that she may tour the following year; she was going to call it the Confessions Tour or Confess Your Sins Tour. A further rumoured name for the tour was the Dance and Sing World Tour although Madonna soon denied this. Madonna described the tour as "turning the world into a giant dancefloor." The show is divided into four separate acts with different themes: equestrian, urban bedouin, glam punk and disco fever. Each show in each city is almost the same except some very few differences.
