“Concert supposed to start at 8:30. Madonna started at 11pm. Whole arena chanting bulls*** at her lateness. Great show but went way too late,” another fan wrote, noting that DJ Honey Dijon did nothing but opened the concert with “boring house music”.

'I love Madonna but it's really f***ed up how she's literally like 2 hours late for her FIRST show in the us,' another added.
