Madonna will play the final concert in her record-breaking 'Sticky & Sweet ' Tour on 1 September in Tel Aviv, Israel at the Hayarkon Park. The upcoming concert marks the pop superstar's second performance in Israel. She first appeared at Hayarkon Park in 1993 as part of her Girlie Tour, and also visited Israel in 2006 during the Jewish High Holidays along with 2,000 other students of Kabbalah.

The song-and-dance spectacular in the 66,000 capacity venue includes a troupe of l7 dancers, a specially built stage, hundreds of costumes and cutting edge visual technology.  
 

"I'm very excited about returning to Israel for my last and final show. I know it will be unforgettable" commented Madonna.

Madonna's show follows '80s pop stars Depeche Mode's concert in Israel in May. Other big-name musicians set to perform in Israel in the coming months are the Pet Shop Boys, Leonard Cohen and Faith No More.
