MDA’s statement in response to media queries on Madonna's "Rebel Heart Tour"

Dated: 26 February 2016

Madonna's upcoming "Rebel Heart Tour" concert has been rated R18 as it contains sexually suggestive content which is more suitable for adults. This is reflected in the consumer advice so that the public can make an informed choice.

In determining the rating, MDA had carefully reviewed the proposed setlist and consulted the Arts Consultative Panel. Religiously sensitive content which breach our guidelines, such as the song 'Holy Water', will thus not be performed in Singapore.

The concert organiser has agreed to comply with the terms of the license, which states that the concert should not contain content or materials which offend any race or religion, and that the performance overall must fall within the guidelines of the R18 rating.
