'Sticky & Sweet' tour becomes most successful tour by a solo artist in history

Madonna's 'Sticky & Sweet' Tour made history as it wrapped up last night with two final shows in Tel Aviv, Israel at Yehoshua Gardens (HaYarkon Park, September 1st and 2nd).

The Material Girl more than lives up to her name, as her tour becomes the most successful tour ever by a solo artist.

After playing 85 shows since its launch in August 2008, Madonna's ‘Sticky & Sweet’ has drawn more than 3.5 million fans in 32 countries and has grossed 408 million dollars, it was announced today by Live Nation, the tour’s global producer. ‘Sticky & Sweet’ is also the second highest grossing tour of all time.

Madonna set an attendance record for the biggest crowds in history in Zurich, Switzerland, where she drew the largest audience ever assembled for a show in that country (72,000). Her Gothenburg, Sweden show, seen by 119,000 fans, broke the record for highest grossing multiple shows in the country’s history. In Helsinki, Finland, ‘Sticky & Sweet’ sold more than 85,000 tickets, making it the biggest single show by an artist in history for all of Scandinavia. Other highlights on the tour included stops in Buenos Aires, Argentina (256,000), Santiago, Chile (146,000), Sao Paulo, Brazil (203,000), Tallinn, Estonia (72,000), Warsaw, Poland (79,000), Bucharest, Romania (69,000), and Sofia, Bulgaria (54,000).

“With ‘Sticky & Sweet’ Madonna has proven yet again that there is virtually no limit to what she can accomplish both creatively and commercially,” said Arthur Fogel, Live Nation’s Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring.

‘Sticky & Sweet’ broke Madonna’s previous record of most successful tour by a solo artist with her 2006 Confessions Tour, which grossed 194 million dollars.

Madonna’s upcoming CD, 'Celebration' - the definitive Madonna collection - is scheduled to be released, September 21, 2009, with 'Celebration' - the video collection DVD to be released September 28th. Madonna’s new single also titled "Celebration" comes out September 14th.

Additional appearances by Madonna will include return visits after more than 15 years to Madrid, Gothenburg and Munich.

"This is a first for me. I've never extended a tour before. I'm excited to be going back on the road, visiting places I've never been and returning to places I love." commented Madonna about the new run of dates.

Raves around the globe for the tour include the London Times which remarked, "In the premiere league of song-and-dance spectaculars, the queen of pop remains unrivaled and undefeated." "The choreography, visuals and live talent were world class and mind-blowingly well executed, intelligent and witty," glowed The Independent (UK).

In 2008, the 'Sticky & Sweet Tour' was seen by 2,350,285 fans in 58 cities. With record breaking ticket sales everywhere, including 650,000 tickets sold in her series of South American dates, 72,000 tickets at Zurich's Dübendorf Airfield - the largest audience ever assembled for a show in Switzerland, 75,000 tickets in London's Wembley Stadium and four sell outs in New York's Madison Square Garden (60,364 tickets).

"This new run of dates will further solidify Madonna's position as one of the top selling touring artists of all time," said Arthur Fogel, Live Nation's Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring/Artist Nation.

Special Guest for Sticky & Sweet 2009, Paul Oakenfold has long been one of the most important - if not the most important - name in modern club culture. He has remixed The Rolling Stones U2, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Snoop Dog, Muse, New Order, The Cure, Massive Attack and even Elvis Presley and produced The Happy Mondays. The two time Grammy nominee is in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the biggest DJ in the world. His new artist album, 'Pop Killer' is due out later this year.

In 2004, four of the greatest voices in the world emerged to spearhead an entire musical genre by bringing the sound of opera to the world of popular music. Now as one of the most successful groups in the world with over 22 million albums sold, Il Divo is ready to re-emerge with a brand new album and massive touring plans.

On November 10th, 2008, Il Divo will release 'The Promise', the group's fifth album (Syco). And today, Live Nation, the world's largest live music company, announced that it has signed a global touring agreement with Il Divo who will be launching their worldwide tour in February 2009.

The deal also gives Live Nation exclusive rights to the group's merchandise, tour sponsorships, fan club and VIP/travel packages.

"Il Divo have the best of both worlds; Simon Cowell, Syco and SonyBMG to continue producing their records and help guide their careers, and now Live Nation to handle their touring activities," comments Peter Rudge, Il Divo's manager from Octagon. "This new Live Nation deal was the result of great work from our team including our agents John Giddings from Solo and David Zedeck from CAA, with the support of our music partners at Syco and SonyBMG."

For 'The Promise', Il Divo members David Miller, Sebastien Izambard, Urs Buhler and Carlos Marín reunited with acclaimed producer and long-time collaborator Steve MCutcheon aka Steve Mac (Kelly Clarkson, Leona Lewis, Westlife) who produced Il Divo's #1 albums 'Siempre' and 'Ancora' plus their self-titled debut.

Sung primarily in Spanish, Italian and English, songs on 'The Promise' include "The Winner Takes It All", "Hallelujah", "Amazing Grace", a Latin original entitled "La Promessa" and "The Power of Love," which marks the first time songwriters Holly Johnson and Trevor Horn have allowed the song to be re-cut by any artist other than Frankie Goes to Hollywood.

"People might be surprised by this album," suggests tenor David Miller. "Our goal was to approach it with fresh ears and fresh spirits, and try some different things. We've still got all the cannons and fireworks, but there is more range, different dynamics, more light and shade, more color. It's a more complete album."

A touring force of nature, Il Divo will announce their massive 2009 touring plans this fall.

Two sold out world tours have seen them performing to over 1.5 million people in thirty countries. They appeared at the opening and closing ceremonies of the FIFA 2006 World Cup singing the official theme song with Toni Braxton and they were special guests of Barbara Streisand on her 2006 tour of North America.

"IL DIVO have established themselves as one of the biggest global breakthrough artists of the last decade and has proven to be a powerful force in global touring with tremendous potential to expand their fan base," said Live Nation Arthur Fogel, CEO, Global Touring and Chairman, Global Music for Live Nation. "We look forward to helping them reach their full potential over the next two years through our global distribution and marketing platform."

Il Divo comprised of American tenor David Miller, popular French singer Sebastian Izambard, Swiss tenor Urs Buhler, and Spanish baritone Carlos Marin were initially brought together by pop impresario Simon Cowell in 2004, following an extensive worldwide audition process.

The virtuoso blending of operatic technique with romantic and popular song took the world by storm, with sales of over 22 million.

Their first three albums, 'Il Divo', 'Ancora' and 'Siempre', scored 39 #1 chart positions across the world. The group also released the platinum album 'The Christmas Collection' in 2005. Sales of their debut self-titled album smashed Led Zeppelin's 25 year-old record of being the only band to achieve a number 1 album without a single release.

Counting Crows are a global phenomenon with a host of multiple platinum albums and Top 10 chart placings worldwide. Counting Crows have been a huge presence in the music world; from initial hit single "Mr. Jones" to 2005's "Accidentally In Love" from the Shrek 2 soundtrack which saw the Californian band perform at the Academy Awards.

New album 'Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings' released in the UK on March 24th, saw the band split their musical personality with the rock Saturday Nights produced by Gil Norton (of Pixies and Foo Fighters fame) whilst the more acoustic Sunday Mornings portion sees Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron and Wine) at the board.

Coldplay announce their "Viva La Vida" North American Tour in support of their new album of the same name, set for release in the US on June 17th, 2008 (UK - June 12th).

The tour, which will be produced by Live Nation, will kick off on June 29th in Philadelphia, PA.

Ticket information is available at www.coldplay.com or at Live Nation.

Before kicking off the "Viva La Vida" tour, Coldplay will play free concerts in London (June 16, 2008 at the Brixton Academy) and New York (June 23rd at Madison Square Garden). Information on how to win tickets to these shows will be available at www.coldplay.com. The contest will run May 9th, 2008 through June 1st. Winners will receive notification on June 5th.

'Viva La Vida', Coldplay's upcoming album, will be released by Capitol Music Group on June 17th. Produced by Brian Eno and Markus Dravs, the record is the follow-up to 2005's 'X&Y', which debuted at #1 in 32 countries and has sold 10 million copies worldwide to date.

The album's lead single "Violet Hill" was downloaded by two million people during the recent one-week period in which the band made the song available to fans for free. It is now for sale at all digital retailers and is quickly rising to the top of the charts at Modern Rock and AAA radio.

Coldplay will perform "Violet Hill" on the "TODAY" show on NBC on Friday, June 27th. Fans are encouraged to check out the performance in person. Viewing is on a first-come, first-served basis outside the show's Window on the World Studio, located at 49th Street and Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The band will also perform on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" on June 26th.

"[Lead singer Chris] Martin broods over a lost lover with a snarling acidity that makes him sound more human than ever - miles away from the dreamy romantic he was on soaring ballads like 'Speed of Sound,'" said Rolling Stone, naming "Violet Hill" a must-have in a recent "Downloads" column. "Jonny Buckland rips jagged, bluesy riffs that match Martin's mood while drummer Will Champion and bassist Guy Berryman maintain a stalking beat primal rock & roll." The Los Angeles Times pronounced the single a "promising return," also marveling at its harder edge.

Fresh from their sold-out Look Me In The Eyes tour of the USA, teen-sensations the Jonas Brothers have announced they will bring their power pop anthems live to Europe, joining Avril Lavigne in 23 cities across the continent.

Straight from the platinum success of their self-titled album released in August 2007, this exciting addition to the show's line-up will let European fans experience the band live for the very first time.

Phil Bowdery, EVP of Live Nation Touring in Europe said "This band is going to be the success story of the year. Having seen the reactions of their fans in the States, we are very excited to be working with a band who have such a great future ahead of them."

"This will be our first opportunity to play live for our fans in Europe and we really can't wait to visit every city." said the band.

The Jonas Brothers caused chaos when they visited the Radio 1 studios in London and wrestled Nick Grimshaw (the video with Nick Grimshaw (watch) has racked up thousands of plays and 31 honours on YouTube already).

After the wrestle, the boys grabbed their guitars and played an acoustic version of debut UK single "S.O.S" for around 100 screaming fans waiting outside Radio 1:
