DrownedMadonna.com received an anonymous email that included what could be the rough itinerary of Madonna's forthcoming world tour presented by Live Nation. Rumors of possible routes and location requests began to circulate as actual dates are scheduled to be unveiled at a press conference on Halloween.

But someone has leaked the raw draft of the itinerary and did so several weeks in advance! The question is... Is it real? It sure could be. It is on Live Nation letterhead, but that could easily be replicated. But it's also a detailed list, so doesn't really look like someone would take the time to fake it. Whatever the case, it's a big leak and someone in Madge’s team could end up on the unemployment line if this gets traced back to he or she.
According to this list, Madonna would hit the road at the end of March in New Zealand and head to Australia and then to Asia for shows in China, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Thailand and Taiwan before cruising over to Europe through spring and early summer. She would finally hit the U.S. in July, bringing her signature heat to the country during the hottest of months!
DrownedMadonna also reports that Madge's people at Live Nation are in the midst of negotiations with China, since the Chinese authorities want to know which songs the Material Girl will play as they have their own list of songs that she is “not allowed” to perform, such as Material Girl and Erotica.
Finally, the anonymous source told us that there will be more shows announced at the beginning 2012, apparently in Latin America. It was said Madonna would also like to visit South Africa around October 2012.
Keep in mind that this itinerary has been leaked, so the validity is not 100% certified. So it's up to you Madonna fans to decide if you will believe it or not.
Do you think this tour document is legit? Which show will you be attending?

What do you do after receiving tons of critical praise and 10 Latin Grammy nominations? Hit the road and milk that success! Calle 13 is ready to take full advantage of their increased fame with a series of fall shows.

As of right now, Residente and Visitante have booked five dates throughout October. You can catch them in San Francisco, Las Vegas, and San Diego playing the mid-sized venues and Miami and New York for the arena stops (sponsored by Pepsi no less).
But if you can’t quite make it to those dates, don’t worry. There will be plenty of more Latino talent crisscrossing the U.S. in the next few weeks. Fellow Latin Grammy winner Andrés Calamaro will be headlining Chicago's House of Blues on October 11 and Julieta Venegas has launched a California "mini-tour" beginning September 30.

And if you prefer a little combo action with your Latin rockers, we highly recommend checking out the Enrique Bunberry/Zoé tour, which will be hitting a ton of cities in November. The Live Nation site has all of the details and is definitely worth a peep if you’re in the mood for awesome autumn música.
Who would you most like to see live this season? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

We reported to you yesterday that Shakira was in talks to sign a big bucks deal with concert promoter Live Nation. Today the chisme was confirmed!! After being part of the Sony familia since she was thirteen, Shakira is ending her contract and picking up a new one with Live Nation.

No hay duda que Shakira's got game. She signed a deal that's reminiscent of the ones signed by U2, Jay-Z and Madonna (no wonder Hard Candy got about 4 minutes of fame -- Madge was hot to drop that album as her last commitment to Warner Bros. so she could move on to her Live Nation gig). As part of the new deal, Live Nation will own the rights to Shakira's future recordings, concert tours, merchandise, sponsorship and digital promotion.
Espérate, not so fast Shaki! Word is the caderas queen has two more albums left to deliver on her Sony BMG contract -- one in English and one in Spanish as well as a greatest hits compilation. [d.baron media relations inc and Yahoo! News]
