Tour mayhem

Now that all the promotion for Hard Candy and 4 Minutes is on it's way, there's a little interesting tidbit on the AOl ticket website! As of yesterday, they list a Madonna show in november in Orlando Florida, further fueling all the rumours that a 2008/2009 Madonna tour is on its way! Don't get all too excited, you can't buy tickets yet, but the very fact the show is listed is pretty good news!

The fact that this tour will be in the winter, makes it the first of Madonna's tours since The Girlie Show World Tour 1993 to have an initerary like that. I sure hope the tour doesn't come to Europe before spring 2009, since European stadiums work according to the General Admission system, meaning your standing place in the stadium will be assigned to you according to a first-come first-served basis. What this means is, to get front row, you need to spend about 20 hours in front of the entrance to be the first in line. I love doing this for Madonna shows, since during Drowned World, Re-Invention and Confessions, the weather was fine and the crowd was great. During a winter show on the contrary, I can't imagine having a good time while freezing my ass of.

Not to worry though, if the Orlando show takes place in November, Europe will probably be a couple of months later, as it appears this tour will also visit Latin America, which would be a logical move after orlando or Miami.

So, the tour rumours are really starting to get started, which is good! Of course, there's also the album and single promotion!. Yesterday, Warner Music launched their new website http://www.tick-tock.tv which at this point doesn't offer that much, but definitely can be seen as a teaser campaign. Next Monday, March 17, the single 4 Minutes (also featuring Justin Timberlake) will premiere on radio, and will be shot right into A rotation from the start.

I love being a Madonna fan!
