Cardiff is getting ready to welcome the Queen of Pop’s Sticky & Sweet Tour opening night and local newspaper South Wales Echo continues Madonna coverage today, August 18 – with an interview with a local hairdresser who has been chosen to style the hair for Madonna’s dancers on Saturday.

More Wales on Sunday from August 17 sees their columnist discuss – tongue-in-cheek – the price of Madonna’s concert tickets and the REM concert in the city that was moved from the Millennium Stadium to the much smaller International Arena.

The Wales on Sunday newspaper also devoted a two-page spread on Madonna’s birthday and asked four local women if they thought the superstar has still got “it” or if she should grow old “gracefully”.

Last but not least, the Western Mail newspaper, on Friday August 22, will preview Madonna’s show at the Millennium Stadium, in Cardiff, with their feature “Fifty Fabulous Things you need to know about Madonna“.
