Madonna, who has enjoyed 12 number one singles in the UK, has already begun rehearsals in the United States with her troupe of musicians and dancers.

Jean Paul Gaultier will design costumes for the tour, which will be directed by long-time Madonna collaborator Jamie King and feature Stuart Price as musical director.

Other European tour dates include Paris, Amsterdam, Rome, Duesseldorf, Hanover and Horsens in Denmark.

Madonna's most recent album, ''Confessions On A Dance Floor'', has been greeted with critical acclaim. Her latest single ''Sorry'' debuted at No 1 in the UK Top 10 singles charts in February.
