Tour setlist

The tour, which was described as a 'rock driven dancetastic journey' , promoted her 11th studio album Hard Candy . The title of the tour referred to a lyric from Candy Shop - which opened the show - and the candy theme of the album. For the 2009 tour leg, Madonna replaced a few tracks on the setlist and also included a tribute to Michael Jackson , who passed away a week before the start of the summer tour.

Madonna is set to embark on a world tour beginning Aug. 23 in Cardiff, Wales with dates through the end of the year. Billed as the Sticky and Sweet tour, the trek will span three continents and include between 50-60 shows total, Billboard.com has learned. Produced globally by Live Nation, Madonna’s tour in support of her current chart-topping Warner Bros. release “Hard Candy” — deal between Madonna and Live Nation, valued in published reports at $120 million. “The reality is she’s delivered her last album to Warner Bros., and it’s a smash, which is great for everybody,” Fogel says. “We now have a tremendous opportunity with a tremendous artist to do all kinds of new and innovative things on many different levels, and this tour will be the start of that rollout.” The tour follows a familiar Madonna touring blueprint in that it visits a limited number of markets in a four-month time frame, with multi-night stands in major cities. Ticket on-sale details will be announced today, along with a presale through Live Nation’s corporate sponsorship partner Citi. Fogel says ticket prices will be “basically the same as they’ve been the past two tours,” which means primarily in the $55-$350 range. Here are the dates for Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour: Aug. 23 – Cardiff, Wales; Millennium Stadium Aug. 26 – Nice, France; Stade Charles Ehrmann Aug. 28 Berlin, Germany; Olympic Stadium Sep. 2 – Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Amsterdam Arena Sep. 4 – Dusseldorf, Germany; LTU Arena Sep. 6 – Rome, Italy; Olympic Stadium Sep. 9 – Frankfurt, Germany; Commerzbank Arena Sep. 11 – London, England; Wembley Stadium Sep. 20 – Paris, France; Stade de France Oct. 3 – E.
