Pop icon Madonna has announced three extra dates for the UK leg of her much-anticipated Celebration world tour, after up to 200,000 fans tried to get tickets for the gigs.
She had already announced that the first European date of the greatest hits tour would take place at London's O2 Arena on Saturday, October 14. After an eventful pre-sale earlier in the week, which saw disappointed fans take to social media to complain that the 20,000-seater venue was not big enough to satisfy demand, she announced a second date last night.
Tickets went on sale this morning on Ticketmaster and LiveNation and by the time the virtual waiting room was packed with eager fans she announced two further dates, making London the single city she is appearing in most on the high-profile 35-city tour.
