Article: Madonna’s Celebration Tour as a Starting Point for Affective Concert Psychology
Author(s):
Abstract
In this paper, affective concert psychology is developed by transferring the filmpsychological experience matrix to pop concerts, with reference to classical concert studies, theater studies, and music psychology. The concert-psychological analysis of Madonna’s autobiographical Celebration Tour presented here reveals the concert’s central theme of the fight for survival, shows how Madonna, through bodily co-presence, synchronizes herself with her fans, profoundly touches them to tears, and moves them as a community. Generally, it is argued that pop concert performances are associated with a very high degree of intensity of concert experiences.
