Madonna tour adds additional shows in four more cities

Madonna's forthcoming world tour continues to expand at breakneck speed, with additional dates added in four cities as the singer gets set to back her latest studio release. Madonna's forthcoming world tour continues to expand at breakneck speed, with additional dates added in four cities as the singer gets set to back her latest studio release. After strong ticket sales for Madonna's initial shows, organizers have tacked on new nights in New York (9/8), Washington (9/24) and Seattle (10/3) in the U.S., as well as a new June 30 show in Berlin. The latest additions come only a couple of days after her last round of tour additions, so it would not be unusual to expect more changes in the pipeline as the trek continues to build steam. The tour, which kicks off its international leg May 29 in Tel Aviv, Israel, will roll through Europe in early summer before heading to the U.S. for an Aug. 28 North American opener in Philadelphia, the first of 25 stops on the domestic trek, which concludes for now with a Nov. 17 show in Atlanta. Organizers expect to announce South American and Australian dates in coming weeks, according to a press release. Tickets for overseas dates and several U.S. stops are available now -- all via Ticketmaster and Live Nation. Fans who purchase tickets within North America will receive their choice of a digital download of the new album, or a hard copy. Madonna's first tour since 2008's phenomenally successful "Sticky & Sweet" outing will follow the March 26 release of "MDNA," her 12th studio set. The effort, which is her first with Live Nation Entertainment in partnership with Interscope Records, comes four years after her platinum-selling "Hard Candy." Madonna's Feb. 5 performance during the halftime of Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis was the most-watched halftime performance in the history of the game, according to a press release, reaching 47.1 million households.

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to  the Cut  about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...
