Madonna, whose most recent CD ‘HARD CANDY’ debuted at Number One in over 30 countries, has made it her personal mission to challenge herself to top her previous tours.

Madonna will be joined onstage with a new band and 18 dancers that reaffirm that this is a singular event that Madonna fans can not miss.

“With ‘Sticky & Sweet,’ Madonna is on track to break her own record as the top grossing female artist of all time,” said Arthur Fogel, Live Nation’s of Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring. “Her sales are extraordinary in every market she’s playing and illustrate what an unparalleled live draw Madonna is for music fans all over the world.”
