Mondays are blah! No one really likes them but somehow they just happen. It’s the sign that a new week is starting with new possibilities and a little rest from the weekend’s crazy. Just because the weekend is over doesn’t mean you have to be bored at home waiting for Friday to come back around. We picked seven events this week that you don’t want to miss and it’ll definitely hold you over until Friday.

Madonna isn’t just a pop singer with a career that spans decades long, Madonna is a legend! She’s not going anywhere any tie soon and if you didn’t believe her, she dropped her 13th album Rebel Heart and she’s on tour pushing. Somehow she still manages to pack venues. Grab tickets here.
