Madonna's newly announced world tour will take her to one hallowed venue: New York's Yankee Stadium.

The pop star, who just performed at the Super Bowl, will perform at the New York sporting landmark on September 6th. The show will mark the fifth stop on the North American leg of her tour, which runs from August to November. Recent performers at the 50,000+ capacity stadium include Paul McCartney and the "Big Four" metal tour (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax).

Tickets for the Yankee Stadium show go on sale February 13th at 10 a.m. EST. No word on whether A-Rod will drop by to duet on "Human Nature."

Song Stories

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
