Madonna mulls small-scale pop tours that allow intimacy

Back in 1990, Madonna set the template for modern pop concerts with her Blond Ambition world tour. From its hydraulic stage to Jean-Paul Gaultier’s iconic costumes, it raised the bar for stadium-sized spectacle. 

Now, after seven world tours, the star says she is “exploring” a smaller-scale show in the future, reports bbc.com . 

“I’ve done so many shows -- world tours, stadiums, sports arenas, you name it -- that I feel like I have to reinvent that now too. I like doing intimate shows and being able to talk directly to the audience,” said the singer.
