The Queen of pop is to launch her world tour in Tel Aviv.
Madonna, whose devotion to Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) is well known, will perform in Israel on April 29. It will be her first global tour in three years.
She has played in the country twice before, including to a crowd of 50,000 people in Hayarkon Park in September 2009.
She has also visited Israel on several occasions and adopted the Hebrew name "Esther" as part of her study of Kabbalah.
