On September 25 1993, Madonna’s The Girlie Show tour opened with 2 sold-out concerts at Wembley Stadium in London, England. Over 144,000 fans attended the two shows in London.
The Girlie Show was launched in support of Madonna’s 1992 album, Erotica. The show had the central visual theme of a “sex circus”. Described as “a mixture of a rock concert, a fashion show, a carnival performance, a cabaret act and a burlesque show”, the show had a more complex stage than those from Madonna’s previous tours: it had a runway that led from the centre of the main stage to a minor stage, a revolving elevated platform in the middle of the main stage, balconies in the rear of the stage, and a giant illuminated Girlie Show sign above stage, among other features. The tour was directed by Madonna’s brother, Christopher Ciccone; costumes for the tour were designed by Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana.

Today In Madonna History 
The Highlight of Girlie Tour was ballad In This Life, a song for two friends of hers who died of AIDS
– a somber highlight of a brilliant life. It was Madonna’s Final performance of the 20th Century. She would be off the road for eight years. By the time she returned for Drowned World in 2001, the world had irrevocably changed. Madonna became a mature artist and she had no time for Sex anymore!
