Her tiredness was worth it all, with the proud title of Olympic Champion attache"

Madonna tour kicks off with political edge Madonna ticket

Madonna tour kicks off with political edge Madonna ticket: "Well, it was mostly fun, friviolity and loud danceable music. Madonna has kicked off her world tour with a show at Cardiffs Millenium stadium, in her adopted home of Great Britain. She will be touring the States during the height of the Presidential campaign, so Madonna has gotten the first word in with some political advertising of her own."

Sticky and Sweet – Madonna’s latest triumph

A concert tour to Europe is no longer new to American singer Madonna. Her last tour was the Confessions tour which started in the U.S. and ended in Europe. Sticky and Sweet kicked off in Cardiff at the Millennium Stadium (which has a capacity of 60,000 people) and all Madonna tickets were sold out.

It was reported that her seventh world concert tour raked in a total of $194.8 million USD and this with a total of 60 shows. The attendance was well over 1.2 million throughout North America, Europe and Japan. This concert tour is currently the highest grossing tour for a female artist.

This year, we see Madonna heading out on her eighth world concert tour entitled Sticky & Sweet Tour. There is a huge sense of anticipation and critics are on their toes as they all watch if this 2008 concert tour would break the Confessions Tour record. Sticky & Sweet is set out to support her studio album entitled Hard Candy. This is her eleventh studio album and she aims to give her best once more to the series of concerts. The show will, once again, tour Europe and North America. Sticky & Sweet Tour is her very first venture from her business and recording deal with Live Nation.

Guy Oseary, Madonna’s manager, was the one who officially confirmed Madonna’s eighth world concert tour. He along with Arthur Fogel of Live Nation announced this to the public on May 8, 2008.

Madonna is a walking controversy but speculations have been brewing that equally-controversial Britney Spears might appear alongside the Queen of Pop.

From October 4- November 30, 2008, Madonna will be touring the states of New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, California, Texas, Illinois, to name a few. She will also visit Mexico, Toronto and Montréal in Canada. Madonna tickets are now being sold online (you can buy and sell on the Internet) so better hurry.

Madonna’s enduring legacy

Madonna’s creativity knows no bounds. Her latest album “Hard Candy” shows her collaborating with artists like Justin Timberlake and Timbaland. The single “Four Minutes” is already hitting the top of the charts and the video gives us an almost fifty Madonna keeping up, if not leading Justin Timberlake on the dance floor.

Her history is an interesting tale, and well chronicled. Born Madonna Louise Cicconne, she was raised in Detroit but moved to New York to work. She hit the heights of pop stardom early on in her career with an early album Like a Virgin topping the US Albums Chart in 1982 and selling over 12 million copies worldwide. She moved on to make more albums, tours, sold-out concerts and films (she has starred in 22 films).

Madonna’s endless creative ways of expressing herself makes her one of the world’s most interesting celebrities. In a time when sex was still taboo, she blatantly spoke and sang about it. And all this belies the fact that her upbringing was as an Italian Catholic. With her religious imagery and icons mixed with brazen outfits of fishnet stocking shirts over capri pants, she has defined fashion in the 1980s as well as provoked uproar in the conservative side.

Her artistic style earned the praise of critics for her ability to constantly reinvent herself. From punk princess to androgyny personified, from sex kitten to maternal woman, her looks have become the definitive fashion icons. She has contributed much to pop culture as she has to fashion, film and music.

Her last album was also not without uproar. Her title track “American Life” is her attempt at having a say in the war in Iraq. The track was made before the war started and she tells her fans to find ways to divert attention from entertainment to the conflict in Iraq. Critics however view the video of the track as nothing more than an endorsement of Bush’s war.

Madonna has always been a stirrer, with her often provoking statements (going as far as picking a fight with the Roman Catholic Church by lambasting a nun’s habit or French kissing Britney Spears in the MTV Awards), we can see that Madonna has since mellowed out. There seems to be a sense of domesticity in Mrs. Ritchie’s life with their children always in tow
.
Madonna still has plenty to offer. Her Hard Candy World Tour is set to start in August starting in Cardiff, Wales. Madonna tickets are already available online as well as concert tours and dates. Madonna tickets are now available for her world tour which includes Berlin, Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Rome, Frankfurt, Berlin, London, Paris, New York and Boston, among others.
