The tour will begin August 23rd in Cardiff Wales and will play arenas and stadiums throughout Europe including a number of cities where Madonna has not performed in the past fifteen years.

A multi-Grammy award winner and recent inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's no surprise that the world's tastiest sweetheart's 11th album "HARD CANDY" debuted at #1 in an unprecedented 37 countries last week. The album has received Four Stars in Rolling Stone, Blender and People Magazine with The NY Daily News hailing "HARD CANDY" as Madonna's greatest album ever. Madonna's current smash single "4 Minutes" was co-written and co-produced by Madonna, Timbaland and Justin Timberlake. "HARD CANDY" is the number one most downloaded digital album in the U.S. and many other countries. Madonna's previous studio album "CONFESSIONS ON A DANCE FLOOR" sold over 8.5 million copies

Madonna has long been known for groundbreaking multi-dimensional tours that consist of visual and audio extravaganzas with non-stop singing and breathtaking dancing. Madonna's last outing, 2006's acclaimed Confessions Tour played in 25 countries including Russia, reached a collective audience of over 1.3 million fans, and was the highest grossing concert tour of all time by a female artist.

The Sticky & Sweet Tour is being produced by Live Nation. For complete tour information, news, contests, and more, visit: http://www.madonna.com/ or http://www.livenation.com/.
