Madonna concerts to be chilled, say organisers
Marie-Louise Olson May 22, 2012
42C - 28C
I will probably pass out ( chilling dome or not ) from excitement the minute she arrives on stage!
-
Gosh I wasn't even aware there was a war between all those other forums . Never Mind.I much prefer it here .
Anyway I have to hurl arse to Abu Dhabi on a 7 hour flight that will feels like 70 hours but I know my queen will be worth it !
-
I Love the stage . can't wait to see it with my own eyes ! Come Onnnnn 4 June !
MDNA MDNA MDNA MDNA !
-
I'm gonna have to go back and re read my chat logs and see if that was mentioned, I'll let you know if there was any mention of that. My instinct is she'll have some sort of video during the intro because it helps build the hype.
Thanks for all the info. Am seeing her in less than 2 weeks and am super excited!

Adrien Galo is one of that dancers that's also not pictured. He was one of Britney's dancers during the Femme Fatale era. He was in Hold It Against Me, I Wanna Go and the Femme Fatale tour. He also performed with Madonna at the Super Bowl.
This Adrien Galo ?

FLASH Entertainment @ThinkFlash
The stage #Madonna is bringing to #AbuDhabi as part of her #MDNA Tour will be the biggest ever setup on Yas Island. It's going to be crazy!
OMG Am going there. The promoter Flash entertainment is also organising shuttle buses to pick up Madonna fans who are staying at hotels on Yas Island to and from the concert .
The temperature in Abu Dhabi is between 42 C- 28 C so I will be sweating buckets !
-
God. I literally have goosebumps reading these....my mind can't even imagine what this is going to look like. I love this anticipation!
If it's that bloody GOOD I might consider seeing her in Australia as well. ( Unless she comes to S.E Asia )!
-
Getting her pre-tour cheeklift?
Is that why she is choosing to play mostly stadiums to accommodate the cheeks ??? LOL
-
Love Spent is amazing Madonna in Facebook Interview say she learn Banjo REMEMBER????
I think she said she LOVED Banjo. God I hope she hasn't learn it. Murdering songs with her guitar is one thing. Murdering Love Spent with Banjo is a definite NO NO.
-
Hmmmm. I don't know....makes me nervous
why are you nervous ?? She ain't gonna shave off her hair or anything like that.
-
from news-of-Madonna:-
Latest rumour: MADONNA could change look in the next few days for the MDNAS round (haircuts, colors...). What do you think?
-
This just in from news-of-Madonna:
#MDNAtour is coming ...
The elements of the scene of the MDNAS arrived yesterday in Tel Aviv. Madonna should arrive with his teams may 23 next to finalize the last rehearsals on the stage.
-
COME ON JUNE 4 !!!
My Body is READY !!!!!!
-
Those pics leaked before the show? O.O
Yeah. There were pictures of her going to rehearsal in those shoes.At first I thought it was a joke.
-
I can't imagine how excited you must be.....it's so close you can taste it! Unlike me who will have to wait till next year...but I will gladly wait.
Ya'll better be interested when it finally hits Australia...I don't wanna be talking to myself in here.
Super Excited. Got flight Tix.Hotel is booked.Got my Visa.
Yeah gosh imagine something goes wrong with the forum just before she's about to hit Aus. Your brain will probably explode!
-
I hope it's going to be spectacular . I like the latest photos and I hope there will be vast improvement on the wardrobe front with this tour .
I remembered seeing pics of her coming out of a car for rehearsal for SS in those horrific platform trainers and thought " Please don't go there."
-
Am going to be there on 3rd night of this tour. I can't believe it ! Will report back !
-
Look at this:
What are we supposed to be looking at ? I can't see anything but screens .
I think it's probably Music (LMFAO MIX).The Headphones, The Cartwheel etc
-
That's just a snooze-fest. Thank god they reworked the shit out of it. Does make me wonder what the album might sound like
if they had decided to go completely into that direction .

“Madonna wants the show to go on perfectly”
Over the years, events giant Flash Entertainment have brought some of the world’s biggest music acts to the UAE shores. But the real test will come in the form of showgirl Madonna in June.
As they gear up to welcome the legendary hitmaker and her 50,000 fans who will descend upon du Arena over two nights (June 3 and 4), tabloid! sits down with John Lickrish, CEO of Flash Entertainment, to get the details that are being worked on.
Joining Flash in their mission is UAE’s telecom provider du who have signed a four-year naming rights deal that has resulted in the re-christening of the former Yas Arena and Yas Forum. Both will now be known as du Arena and du Forum respectively.
Madonna’s sole request to Flash, said Lickrish, is that the show “has to be perfect”.
Excerpts from the interview:
Are you all set for the Madonna concert?
Absolutely. It’s a big act. We have been preparing since October but it’s bound to be hectic at the last minute. It’s going to be a life-changing experience.
Also, Madonna is very meticulous and I tell my team that any mistake made on this show, you will feel the after-effects ten times more. So everything has to run incredibly smoothly. There’s no room for any technical glitches. It’s a test for the city and for us.
What are the logistics involved?
We are expecting 50,000 people in total. We had to take out our stage because the Madonna stage is much bigger. Now, the stage is being pushed forward to the venue from underneath the roof to accommodate the size given. Last week we got the designs and the drawings. We have to make many changes and there’s a lot of last-minute running around. We also want to make sure that people get in and out smoothly. Plus, it’s going to be warm so we will have extra cooling fans. To put it simply, we want to be more than prepared this time.
Is it true that you have requested Madonna to tone down her performance keeping cultural sensitivities in mind?
It’s incorrect. We don’t speak to the artists directly but we know their brand and their performances. Yes, I have seen her rehearse in New Jersey just to have a look at the show. The artists are closed as far as content goes, yet they are aware of what the UAE is like and its tolerance levels. They understand that from a global perspective. It won’t be an issue at all.
Do you feel you have come full circle with Madonna?
You never know what’s the next big thing for us. When we started out, we missed out on Madonna by a few days because of the dates between her Greece and New York shows. It was a holiday date here. After almost four years, we are glad it’s happening now as it shows the elevation of Flash. In the beginning, we would have been like how are we going to get around that etc.
When it comes to events, Flash Entertainment enjoys a monopoly of sorts.
We do our job well and Flash was developed to create a strong music scene. I don’t think we enjoy any sort of monopoly.
Will we see you organise more events in Dubai?
I am not sure. We have had concerts there like the Eagles in the past. It’s all about revenue streams and economics. Till June, Abu Dhabi is where we are looking at.
Does Madonna have any demands?
No quirky demands. She just wants the show to go on perfectly. Everyone has a few demands, but she is a thorough professional so I am not expecting any sort of ridiculous requests.

OMG I'm going to that show !!!! YIPPEE ! Thanks for posting GG !
-
Didn't she want "Candy Shop" as a single at some point?
"Skin" would be perfect for this show.
OMG YES ! I forgot all about that ! I remembered reading in the news that she was pushing hard for it to be released as the first single.Thank god it wasn't !
As for the above setlist . I feel contented with it. I hope it's real cos if it's it will be a SUPER show !
-
I have a feeling the one with Human Nature and Candy Shop is a fake tbh. I'm keeping my finger crossed that this one is real.
Everythhaaannng once .Shame on me. Everythhaaanngg twice. Shame on you Madonna.
-
I am quite happy with that setlist. I wished she would have included something from Music though ( Don't tell me for example).
Two months later - MDNA is still an Album of Life.
in ARCHIVE - Madonna

I still love some tracks from the album. I'm Addicted, Love Spent , Falling Free , Gang Bang and even GGW.
It's not a perfect album but I much preferred it to HC and AL. I think the Solveig tracks are the worst. I don't know. Maybe he's just
capable of producing 10000000 different versions of Hello ?
