She’s 53 and fresh off of the most watched Super Bowl halftime show of all time.  Now the real work begins.    

“The Material Girl is back on the dance floor... Madonna- the world tour...” (Source: Youtube.com/Livenation)

But first, she’ll release her MDNA album in March. Then, Ace Showbiz says...

“The tour will kick off on May 29 in Tel Aviv, Israel and hit other 25 European markets, including London, Paris, Milan and Berlin, before hitting North American shores beginning August 28 in Philadelphia. She will perform in North America until before Thanksgiving, and then she will continue the trek to Latin America until the holidays.”

The tour will conclude in Australia in early next year. According to Contact Music, the tour could prove to be a lucrative deal for the Queen of Pop.

“It's likely that Madonna's Mdna Tour will once again break records - her 'Sticky and Sweet' jaunt in August 2008 made 170 stops worldwide and reportedly grossed over $200 million.”

Some, like EW’s Music Mix blogger, aren’t sold on it.

“After Sunday’s Gladiator-cum-varsity-pep-squad-cum-choir-loft monstrosity (...) , we’re left to do wonder: What will Madonna pull out this time?”

LiveNation is putting on the tour and seems to have more faith in the Material Girl. The company’s CEO told Billboard...

“It's as great a set-up as you could have. If this doesn't work, I'm going into plumbing.”
