Madonna has announced the first string of dates for her world tour, which kicks off in late August in Wales and makes its way to a bunch of baseball stadiums (Dodger Stadium!) and enormodomes arenas in the U.S. beginning in October. The tour—which is (sigh) called the Sticky and Sweet Tour—is Madonna's first under her 10-year, multimillion-dollar deal with Live Nation. Did you know that her last three tours have grossed a combined $400 million? Ticket prices are going to be between $55 and $300, which should help on that particular "keeping up with past glories" front. Dates after the jump.

And...nothing in the nation's capital.
P.S. And...nothing in Detroit.

The 42 second mark is when the relevance kicks in, but it's all gold.
@Rob Murphy: hey, usually acts hit DC and skip Atlanta, so i'm okay with it.
Making out with a woman onstage, Madonna? How fresh!
can someone else cover the Madonna posts? Maura's sighing and bitching about her is as old as Madge herself.
@lajaponais: Oh, come on. At least she used good innuendoes back in the day. "Sweet and Sticky"? Give me a break. I know you think Madge is the "motherfucking queen," but I don't, and "obsessive fangirling" isn't in my job description.
it's not that serious. relax.
i'm just suggesting some diverse bitching on M....not bitching from the same blogger over and over again.
@lajaponais: @Maura Johnston: Girls Girls! Calm down.
You're BOTH pretty!
@Maura Johnston: @Dead Air ummm Dead Air: All I'm saying is that Gwen Stefani's last album was called THE SWEET ESCAPE
Madonna ran out of decent ideas after the 'Music' album, and as long as she's going to force the public to listen to her try and 'reinvent' (zzzz) herself over and over, we have the right to express our disinterest in it.
Madonna SUCKS
@HONEYBFLY:
Um, Madonna does not SUCK. That's asinine to write off her entire career like that. What she's done over the last few years might be much more spotty than the first 2/3 of her career, but Confessions was by & large a decent album, IMO her best effort since Erotica, and this new one, while nothing special, has it's moments.
Besides, at least she's not serving up the same old maudlin, pseudo-r&b refried crap over & over all in the name of breaking chart records, like another singer I can think of.
