Nightshade Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Billed as the Sticky and Sweet tour, Madonna's trek in support of her current chart-topping Warner Bros. release "Hard Candy" -- which debuted atop the Billboard 200 yesterday -- will play stadiums in the U.K. and Europe until the end of September, arenas and a "handful" of stadiums in 16 markets in North America in October and November, and then stadiums in Mexico and South America late November-December. Where is Australia? I don't even live there and I would be upset if she didn't go Down Under. She really should... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait for dvd to came out I alway say that too but then I realize she's the female equivalent of Elvis and I'll regret not seeing her live (at every opportunity I had) when she's finally dead.

Probed By Greys Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 yeah, I said I wasn't going to go to the CT tour, and I ended up going twice. The first time i was in the 350 section, lol. The bitch knows how to drain the money out of us, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bitch Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Ooh decisions, decisions - are the dates on MTribe correct? I'm thinking Cardiff and Wembley for sure and maybe Amsterdam as I did that for Confessions and it was a throwaway, price wise - great venue too.

Carta Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 If Madonna was intending on coming to Australia why wouldn't she have made sure it was in the press release? There's a glimmer of hope for Australians in that she didn't announce her Japan dates for the CT until *after* the main tour announcement, but it doesn't seem as though she's left herself much time to come to Australia before Christmas, given that she'll be performing in South America in December. I'm keeping everything crossed that she comes to Australia, but even if she does, I'm almost certain that I won't get to see it, as I'll be in Italy for work for five weeks from early December to mid-January. In another stroke of bad luck, the break between her European and US legs coincides exactly with my holidays, so I can't even fly to see her somewhere else. Still, it's very exciting news about the tour and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for my fellow Aussies!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, why do a tour in the fall if you're gonna leave out the Southern Hemisphere? Plus, only 27-odd show dates have been announced - that's only half of what she did for Confessions, so I bet there could be plenty more on the way.

Plus, only 27-odd show dates have been announced - that's only half of what she did for Confessions, so I bet there could be plenty more on the way. The Billboard article said that there would be around 60 shows, so there's scope for her to do multiple shows in several of the current cities (plus plenty more). NYC only has two shows listed, but she'll do 5-6 there for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluejean Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm sorry but the odds are she will leave Australia out. Yes she made promises, yes there was a "yes" from an Australian concert promoter. This happens everytime, its no surprise. I am just going to accept its not happening. If it *does* happen it will be a nice surprise. It's not impossible but let's not get our hopes up like we always do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad_On_Her Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 But since Australia has been so eager to see Madonna and we miss out continuosly miss out on seing her why wouldn't she make sure it was in the press release if she intended on coming down??

FreeMySoul Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 Madonna, the world's tastiest sweetheart, has announced more non-stop treats for her legions of legendary and devoted fans.

Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet Tour" tour will also visit Mexico and South America later this year. (Show dates, and on sale information in these markets will follow at a later date.) Confirmed today by Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager and Arthur Fogel, Live Nation's CEO Global Touring and Chairman Global Music, who is producing the tour, "Sticky & Sweet Tour" will play arenas and stadiums throughout Europe and North America including a number of cities where Madonna has not performed in the past fifteen years.

Carta Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Madonna owes nothing to no one. Would it be great to see her in Australia? Of course it would be! Does she owe us a tour just because we buy her music? Absolutely not. You buy Madonna's music because you like it, not because you expect her to perform it live for you. I'm sorry you haven't bought HC, mad_on_her - but denying yourself the pleasure of enjoying her music just because you think she won't tour is like cutting your nose off to spite your face. As I said, she owes us nothing. If you like her music, buy it. If you don't, don't. It really is as simple as that In any case, even if she does tour Australia, what about all of the cities that she skips? Should everyone in those cities stop buying her music, just because she's not coming to play live for them? Should people who live in cities worldwide that she doesn't play also boycott her music? If anyone agrees, then they have a rather short sighted view of the world.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
