200,000 people died during the devastating revolt in 1944 and Madonna's show clashes with remembrance proceedings.
Initially, Catholic groups in Poland protested against the concert and urged fans of Madonna to boycott her gig because it was planned for the same day as the Warsaw Uprising.
However, Madonna refused to listen to the protests and will go ahead with her show, but she has agreed to preview a short film clip dedicated to those who lost their lives in 1944.
Speaking to PA, Ania Pietrzak from Live Nation said: "It is an important moment in Polish history, so we have decided to remind people of that moment."
Madonna's most controversial moments:

Madonna caused controversy at the MTV Video Music Awards back in 1984 after she performed Like A Virgin in a white wedding dress before simulating sex on stage.
