For her first trick, the Queen of Pop takes to the stage at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium on Saturday, 23 August and arrives at our own Wembley Arena on Thursday, 11 September, with loads of dates in the rest of Europe and the US to look forward to as well.

The tour backs up the music legend’s new Hard Candy album, which hit number one in the UK charts.

Madonna tours often have juicy titles and there’s no exception here. Dubbed the Sticky and Sweet world tour, this year’s model is still more suggestive than 2006’s Confessions tour and more fun sounding than 2001’s Drowned World effort.
