TICKETS ON SALE NOW

After kicking off the North American leg of her Sticky & Sweet Tour to rave reviews, Madonna is performing to packed houses across the country as her highly-anticipated Los Angeles concert fast approaches. And now, world-renowned DJ, remixer and producer Paul Oakenfold will join her at Dodger Stadium on November 6th as a very special guest.

Critics are raving about the Sticky & Sweet Tour, Madonna’s latest live spectacle. The Associated Press described it as, “throbbing dance music, tight choreography, spectacular stage sets and stunning visuals,” adding that, with her latest trek, Madonna has, “reasserted her musical relevance and dominance in her 25th year in the spotlight.” The Boston Herald called it a, “show no one can touch…epic lasers, moving video screens, fast and flawless costume changes, all done with grace and energy.” The Herald also praised the evening’s set list— “Between new songs, Madonna dropped big lumps of pure pop sugar into the set with plenty of ’80s hits. ‘Vogue’ set the hyper-speed tempo early ‘Into the Groove’ punched it up a notch. And ‘Borderline’ got a power pop makeover.”

Paul Oakenfold has long been one of the most important names in modern club culture. Throughout his glittering career, it has been estimated that over 5 million fans have seen him perform over the years (including 90,000 people at Glastonbury 1995— the first time a DJ played the prestigious festival’s main stage). He has also worked with an illustrious list of top artists in the studio, including Madonna, the Happy Mondays, U2, Radiohead, Massive Attack, The Cure and more. A two-time Grammy-nominee, Oakenfold’s first solo album Bunkka was released in 2002, selling over a million copies worldwide and featuring the hits “Ready, Steady, Go”, plus, “Starry Eyed Surprise.”
