Madonna confirms MDNA tour
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 7 February 2012
If that Super Bowl half-time work-out got you all excited about her Madge-ness again, well, that expected world tour to coincide with new album ‘MDNA’ has been announced this morning.
And after the singer’s proclamation last week that her fans should be pleased to hand over as much of their cash as possible in order to spend ninety minutes in her glorious vicinity, I’m sure you’ll all be rushing to buy the £125 tickets for her Hyde Park show on 17 Jul, and not those £70 tickets. Presumably fans who opt for the latter option will be given a stern telling off on arriving at the concert, and then moved to St James Park and told to have a jolly good think about what they’ve done.
Scottish fans who go to see Madonna play Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium on 21 Jul can even opt for a £45 ticket. I’m not sure what Team Madge are trying to say about you Scots out there with those bargain basement prices, but once you’ve got your independence I suggest you appoint a new queen of pop for your fair nation, and banish Ms Ciccone forever. As for a replacement, I suggest you have Annie Lennox and Sharleen Spiteri arm wrestle for the honour, best of three. The Lennox/Spiteri Arm Wrestle Off, now there’s something I’d pay £125 to see.
Anyway, it’s possible I’ve got a little off topic here. Madonna’s world tour kicks off in Tel Aviv on 29 May, and look, the boss of her business partners Live Nation’s Global Touring unit, Arthur Fogel, has said some words and stuff: “Madonna’s track record as a world class entertainer and touring artist speaks for itself. Her artistry, talent and creative productions get bigger and better with each tour and Madonna 2012 will be no exception. We are thrilled to have her back on the road and know her fans feel the same”.
