Madonna extending 'Sticky & Sweet tour'

London (ANI): Queen Of Pop Madonna has decided to hit the road again. The Queen of Pop who was recently divorced from filmmaker Guy Ritchie wrapped up the world tour in December but is extending her Sticky & Sweet tour to take in an extra 16 dates across Europe through July and August, including two in the UK.

The 'Material Girl' hitmaker kicks off the jaunt on July 4 at London's O2 Arena before stopping off at the MEN Arena in Manchester on July 7. "This is a first for me. I've never extended a tour before," the Sun quoted her, as saying. "I'm excited to be going back on the road, visiting places I've never been and returning to places I love," she added.

Her 2008 tour is already the biggest-grossing one in history for a solo artist and was seen by more than two million fans in 58 cities. The 13 concerts will be in cities, such as Ljubljana in Slovenia and Tallinn in Estonia, that Madonna has never visited before. Tickets will go on sale on Friday, February 6, and are priced between 65 pounds and an eye-watering 175 pounds.
