Madonna continues rehearsals for her Sticky and Sweet Tour, which is to feature a cameo from Britney Spears herself. Although the shoot was troubled with set issues, it has been officially confirmed by Madonna’s publicist, Liz Rosenberg, and Britney’s manager, Larry Rupolph. The video will show Britney dressed in a hoodie going mental in an elevator (probably not too difficult for our Brit Brit), before she turns to the camera and says her newest catchphrase, “It’s Britney, Bitch!“

The working setlist has been updated to incorporate a few changes, and I will post the current line-up after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

The following is a quote on the working setlist of the Sticky & Sweet Tour, from Madonna Tribe:

“Ok here we go!! Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet tour opens with Candy Shop (verysimilar to the promo tour version) followed by a version of Beat Goes On very similar to the album version. Both Pharrell Williams and Kanye West will appear onvideo during the song. The third song in the setlist is the first GREAT surprise. It’s the one and only Human Nature, from Bedtime Stories (and we’ll not be sorry!!). The song will be presented in an original and UNIQUE way, but that’s a surprise we don’t want to spoil for the moment. We’re sure the inclusion of this song will make lots of people very happy.

Section two of the show includes Into The Groove, a great number where she will be jumping rope with a little sample of the song “Jump” thrown in as well, followed byHeartbeat. The Fedde Le Grande version of Music, (just like the promo tour version) and She’s Not Me follow.

The following section will opens with the song Devil Would Recognize You, Madonna will sing it live and play the piano onstage HERSELF for the very first time! After that we go into Miles Away, just like the promo tour, and a joyful version Spanish Lesson. Her great classic from True Blue arrives next: It’s La Isla Bonita that will be presented in its ”Live Earth incarnation”, the Lela Pala Tute version!!! This third section is closed by one of the songs by Madonna that won an Oscar. It’s the touching“You Must Love Me”, the beautiful ballad from Evita, written by Tim Rice and Andrew Loydd Webber especially for Madonna in the film. This version is more or less very similar to its original form.

The closing section of the tour includes the promo tour version of 4 Minutes followed by one of the greatest surprises fans will adore: Impressive Instant from the “Music” album!! Ray of Light follows. It’s basically the album version with some changes in the middle. The promo tour version of Hung Up is next. The tour closes with the latest single from Hard Candy, Give It 2 Me 

But that’s not all folks! Madonna is also doing a great classic for her first album and she’s doing it for the first time since the Virgin Tour. It’s “Borderline” that will bepresented like it has never been heard before and don’t forget to look out for the great tour videos that will be directed by Steven Klein, as previously reported by MadonnaTribe!!”

Following my original post of the preliminary setlist for Madonna’s “Sticky And Sweet Tour”, Perez Hilton has followed up with an image of the latest setlist, which he says comes from a very reliable source.

I will post the setlist after the jump, for anyone who doesn’t mind a few spoilers. Whilst it is different to the original setlist, some parts remain the same, so I think this is definitely the kind of direction she is going in. She’s bringing back a whole heap of songs that she’s avoided recently too, which makes it all the more exciting.
