The wait is finally over. For the first time ever, Irish fans will get their chance to see the Material Girl this summer as part of Madonna’s re-Invention World Tour 2004. The tour which is sweeping across major markets in the US before continuing to Europe is now confirmed to play Slane Castle on 29-August 2004 subject to license.

By both artistic and commercial standards Madonna’s re-Invention tour is a smash hit. The New York Times called Monday’s sold-out debut, “Dense, dizzying – exhilarating.” The London Sun said, “Today’s generation of Pop Idol wannabees should listen, learn and take note from a woman who has no intention of handing over her crown for a good few years yet” and Rolling Stone said: “She’s putting more love and genuine passion into her spectacle than ever.”

Madonna is both a multi-Grammy Award winner and a multi MTV Award winner and has sold well over 250 million albums during the span of her extraordinary two-decade career. In addition, she has had more Top Ten Singles than any female artist in history – second only to Elvis Presley.

Now, Madonna’s devoted Irish fans will have a chance to see not only the Queen of Pop live in concert playing all of her greatest hits, but will also get the chance to see some very special guests yet to be announced.
