Belangrijke info Golden Circle Amsterdam!

Belangrijke informatie betreffende de golden circle en Ticket de Luxe in Amsterdam tijdens de Sticky & Sweet Tour!

Er was wat onduidelijkheid ontstaan betreffende het feit of mensen met reguliere veldkaarten nu wel of niet in de golden circle komen. Live Nation in het buitenland gaf aan dat er een aparte sectie was voor 'Hot Ticket' houders en dat reguliere veld ticket houders dus NIET in de golden circle konden komen!

Na veel e-mail en telefoonverkeer heeft MOJO ons vandaag laten weten dat ze van Madonna's management de bevestiging hebben dat reguliere veld ticket houders in Amsterdam WEL de kans hebben op een plek in de golden circle! De mensen met een 'Ticket de Luxe' komen binnen via een andere ingang, maar dit betreft maar een paar honderd man en er passen een paar duizend in het eerste vak, ben je dus op tijd is er niets aan de hand en sta je gewoon in de golden circle!

Nieuws betreffende de 'goodies' die de Ticket de Luxe houders kregen, hebben we helaas nog niet.

Dank aan: MOJO

De afterparty na het Madonna concert in Amsterdam op 2 september gaat door! Dit hebben we vandaag door FAME bevestigd gekregen. Als fanclub zijn we blij dat FAME dit organiseert voor de fans zodat zij na afloop kunnen nagenieten van het concert onder het genot van een drankje en Madonna's muziek. De Heineken Music Hall, op kruipafstand van de ArenA, is hiervoor natuurlijk de perfecte lokatie.

Eerder werden er door FAME geslaagde releaseparties georganiseerd rondom de releases van de Madonna albums Confessions On A Dancefloor en Hard Candy en de DVD The Confessions Tour.

Zodra we meer informatie over de afterparty van het concert op 2 september hebben, lees je dat uiteraard hier!

Gogol Bordello to join Madonna Tour

In an interview with popular Brazilian newpaper Folha, Gogol Bordello's front member Eugene Hutz confessed he will join Madonna on tour. He said that he and the band, who will play Brazil this coming October, will play with Madonna in her show in São Paulo in December 2008, confirming at the same time that Madonna shows in this country are indeed scheduled even if yet officially unannounced.

It is yet unclear if they will be playing other dates of the Madonna tour in Europe and US as well.

Recently we were able to confirm a few things regarding the cult favorite, Kiley Dean. Yes, that is Kiley singing on Flo Rida's Timbaland assisted hit "Elevator." Kiley paid a visit to Timbo in the studio back in January and he asked her to sing on the track. Kiley confirmed the two were talking and since that time they have recorded some tracks together.

Now the Kiley Dean "comeback" is in full force with Dean going back to her roots as she will be replacing long time Madonna back up singer Donna De Lory on the Sticky & Sweet Tour. Remember Kiley was 'discovered' by Timbo as Britney Spears' backup singer. No word on if Kiley will be doing with full tour with Madonna but once she is finished, Dean will head back to the studio to lay down more tracks with Timmy.

Madonna's Sticky & Sweet Tour Kicks Off This Saturday In Cardiff . Madonna, currently putting the finishing touches to her fabulous new Sticky & Sweet Show in Cardiff, is readying herself and the 250 travelling personnel for the opening night this Saturday at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Hot on the diamante shaped heels of her phenomenally successful 'Hard Candy' disc, 'Sticky & Sweet' promises two pulsating hours of non stop hits in a show that features 16 dancers, a 12 piece band, more than 8 costume changes for the lady herself and £l million of Swarovski crystals.
The audience is taken on a rock driven dancetastic journey that's broken into four sections:

Pimp
A mashed up homage to 1920's deco and modern day gangsta pimp. Madonna makes a grand entrance dressed by Givenchy.

Old School
Madonna tips her hat to her early 80's downtown New York City dance roots with flashes of Keith Haring and the dance culture vibe of the time including the birth of rap.

Gypsy
A VIP trip to La Isla Bonita infused by the spirit of Romanian folk music and dance. A tour de force.

Rave
Far eastern influences emerge all sparkly and sporty.

'Sticky & Sweet' kicks off this Saturday August 23rd at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. The tour hits London's Wembley Stadium September 11th. The Sticky & Sweet Tour is produced by Live Nation Global Touring.
