In 1990, after the Blond Ambition World Tour, Madonna had proclaimed that she would never go on a tour again.

Madonna’s Girlie Show World Tour was in support of fifth studio album, Erotica and hence the tour setlist mostly constituted the songs from this album along with a few of her 80’s hits. A central visual theme of a “Sex circus” was one of the many highlights of the show.
