Since Madonna is going to play all the hits, there's a lot of demand for this show. From setlist to parking to opening acts, we put together a list of EVERYTHING you need to know ahead of the show:

What Time Will Madonna Perform at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia?
Madonna is kind of infamously known for arriving on the stage a bit... shall we say... late?
In fact, Madonna made headlines on the opening night of the Celebration Tour for what appeared to be a delayed arrival to the stage at the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, NY. She's even being sued for it now.
The tour is starting to settle into a routine so we've dug into the set times from this tour, and it appears as if Madonna is due to hit the stage between 9:40 p.m. and 10:20 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Center.
Let's emphasize: that's when she's SCHEDULED to hit the stage. It's Madonna's world, so she may be later.r
