Rumours about Madonna‘s Confessions Tour visiting for the first time Russia and the Czech Republic started earlier this year with a report by Victoria Newton on Uk tabloid The Sun first mentioned chances for the tour to stop in Prague and Moscow.

Last March, here at Tribe we reported that there were great chances that those two countries were indeed going to be included in the Tour schedule at the end of the European leg in September 2006.

From what we learnt since then, Prague and Moscow were indeed confirmed and kept on hold for a major media announcement to take place close to the tour’s opening night, boosting the media attention of Madonna’s new show as this will be the first time for her to visit these two countries.

If you are familiar with Madonna Tribe’s Tour Forum you already know the latest updates that fellow Tribers have been discussing since the past week.

Apparently the dates set for Prague are those of September 6 and 7. Following the layout of the European leg of the tour, that alternates stadium and arena shows with the sole exception of Germany – the Czech venue should be the awesome Sazka Arena.

But the most exciting news is that the location of the first Madonna concert ever in Russia will be no other that Moscow’s Red Square – which is considered – needless to say – the top location of the entire tour.

All we need now, as usual, is the official announcement from Madonna’s camp for the final dates of the Confessions Tour to be revealed.
