The touring industry is ebullient since Madonna has extended her Sticky & Sweet Tour for a second year, something she has never done – TicketNews.com reports on Friday.

Sixteen concert dates have been released, and the London concert is the only repeat market from last year. The rest of the tour will include appearances in cities she has never performed in before, including a few cities that she has not performed in for more than 15 years. Shows are to be announced for Bulgaria, Hungary, Russia, Romania and Serbia.

Arthur Fogel, Live Nation’s Chairman of Global Music and CEO of Global Touring/Artist Nation, advised TicketNews that there is “no chance for a North American extension of the tour.”

And despite reports in the Australian media that four concerts are scheduled for an September/October outing Down Under, Fogel said that there is no validity to the reports (which, your editor would like to point out, is rather different than saying “no chance” like Fogel says about North America).
