Oakenfold “Confesses” to Madonna:
ICONIC DJ TO OPEN FOR ICONIC SONGSTRESS ON HER EUROPEAN ‘CONFESSIONS’ TOUR
Following the success of the Slane Castle gig in the U.K. two years ago, PAUL OAKENFOLD is returning to the stage with Madonna for her phenomenal sold-out ‘Confessions’ tour. Oakenfold will be the main support act on her 2006 European leg of the tour excluding the London, Paris and Prague dates.
He will be supporting Madonna in Cardiff, Rome, Dusseldorf, Hanover and Amsterdam. Comments Oakenfold, “This is a fantastic opportunity, I’m really looking forward to the challenge–I’ve got a lot of respect for Madonna as an artist, and have enjoyed a great working relationship in the past–which I hope to continue.”
