The Celebration Tour is a two-hour-plus set with multiple-costume-change and more than 30 songs. The show was separated into five different sections: Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, East and West "grids". According to tour creative director Lewis James, the stage and show also serves as an archive of her life, celebrating with her fans, and is a "continuation of her legacy" more than just a biography. Madonna's six children also joined on stage during multiple moments of the show, including Lourdes Leon in London, and Rocco Ritchie (her son with Guy Ritchie) in Sweden, which represents her present as a mother and celebrating family.
Throughout the concert, Bob the Drag Queen serves as an emcee, appearing during different moments of the show interacting with the singer, often dressed as Marie Antoinette (resembling Madonna's "Vogue" 1990 MTV Video Music Awards performance). During segments of the show, dancers appear wearing recreations of 17 outfits originally worn by Madonna, representing many of her reinventions. The show includes more past references, including the bed from her Blond Ambition World Tour with a lookalike donning a latex mask.
During the performance of "Vogue", Madonna invited various celebrities in each stop of the tour to join her on stage to judge the voguing performed by her backing dancers, including FKA Twigs, Diplo, Arca, Jean Paul Gaultier, Donatella Versace, Stella McCartney, and Julia Garner.
