Madonna played her old hits such as “Like A Prayer”, “Into The Groove” and “Hung Up” at the 75,000 capacity Millenium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on the first night of her world tour. See below post for a leaked video of Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet Tour, with Brit Brit’s cameo!
Madonna has never been one to “mince words” and makes a full on political statement in her new show. Madonna leads into “Like a Prayer” with a video flashing images of destruction along with photos of Hitler, Zimbawe strong man Mugabe, and also John McCain.
Madonna didn’t leave Obama out though, he was in a montage of a much different nature along with John Lennon, Gandhi, and Al Gore. Wow, guess you know who Madonna is endorsing for President!
There was said to be an army of Madonna fans in pink cowboy hats and boas, anxiously awaiting the show to get going. Madonna’s first song was “Candy Shop” from her new “Hard Candy” album.
The concert, promoting her latest album “Hard Candy” which has hit number one in 27 countries, is separated into four different sections.
Almost concert and fashion show, Madonna took to the stage in a costume by French fashion house Givenchy for the first part, known as “pimp”, a homage to gangster chic from the 1920s to now.
Second, Madonna goes back to New York in the early 1980s — where she arrived aged 20 with just 35 dollars in her pocket before hitting the big time — for the “old school” section of the show.
Third is a Romanian folk music and dance, and the finale, “rave”, which is more of a far eastern section.
Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet concert includes eight costume changes, 16 dancers, a 12-piece band and 1.9 million dollars worth of Swarovski crystals. Madonna knows how to put on a show guys!
The tour, which kicked off in Britain will go on to Nice, southern France on August 26 before heading to the rest of Europe, the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil. The last show will be in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on December 18.
Madonna’s last tour, 2006’s “Confessions”, reportedly brought in $200,000 dollars. This tour should also bring in tons of cash!
Madonna recently celebrated her 50th birthday, and has never looked better!
