Madonna – the regular tourist

A concert tour to Europe is no longer new to American singer (but UK resident) Madonna. Her last tour was the Confessions tour which started in the U.S. and ended in Europe. The opening night for this concert tour took place in Cardiff at the Millennium Stadium (which has a capacity of 60,000 people) and all Madonna tickets were sold out.

It was reported that her seventh world concert tour raked in a total of $194.8 million USD and this with a total of 60 shows. The attendance was well over 1.2 million throughout North America, Europe and Japan. This concert tour is currently the highest grossing tour for a female artist.

Madonna is set to commence her eighth world concert tour entitled Sticky & Sweet Tour. Fans are holding their breaths and critics are on their toes as they all watch if this 2008 concert tour would break the Confessions Tour record. Sticky & Sweet is set out to support her studio album entitled Hard Candy. This is her eleventh studio album and she aims to give her best once more to the series of concerts. The show will, once again, tour Europe and North America. Sticky & Sweet Tour is her very first venture from her business and recording deal with Live Nation.

Guy Oseary, Madonna’s manager, officially confirmed Madonna’s eighth world concert tour. He along with Arthur Fogel of Live Nation announced this to the public on May 8, 2008. Speculation is rife that Britney Spears might appear alongside the Queen of Pop in her US shows. No matter what happens, the Material Girl always puts on an entertaining show. Madonna tickets are now being sold online (you can buy and sell on the Internet) so better hurry.
