American diva Madonna will make a stop in Montreal in August as part of her new world tour, dates for which were announced Tuesday.

As part of her 'Celebration' tour, which will commemorate her hits of the past 40 years, the 64-year-old artist will perform on Aug. 19 at the Bell Centre.

Her series of shows will begin in Canada, in Vancouver, on July 15. She will also be in Toronto on Aug. 13.

After her North American tour next summer, she will head to Europe in the fall.

Madonna announced her tour on Instagram in a video in which comedian Amy Schumer challenged her to tour the world performing her greatest hits. The singer, who opened with a few seconds of her hit song 'La Isla Bonita', accepted the challenge with enthusiasm.
