Clash with feast day of St John the Baptist cited as reason for request
Less than a week remains until Madonna's 15 August concert in Warsaw, but protests have already begun.
Madonna is not proficient in Bulgarian - apparently she must be - how dare she address her Bulgarian fans in English?
Communist groups in St. Petersburg demanded Madonna dress decently and possibly sing a few revolutionary songs during her concert in the city on August 2.
Madonna's first ever concert in Bulgaria on August 29 2009 in Sofia is one of the entertainment highlights of the year and is expected to draw fans not just from Bulgaria but from all over South East Europe.
The first-ever Madonna concert in Bulgaria will be at Vassil Levski National Stadium, with ticket prices varying from 100 to 200 leva
One of the British Grammy award winner’s admirers will have the chance to meet her in person right after the end of her performance.
Fatboy Slim, Kosheen and Chambao have confirmed their attendance at this year's Elevation festival in June.
Highlights include a replica of the Bulgarian pavilion due for presentation on October 25.
You will be able to see recordings of Beat poets such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
The story, set on New Year's Eve, tells of a man who braves the cold winter night in order to bring a friend of his a cake as a gift.
Don't forget that Bulgarian media is still controlled by the state. It's not based on fact, merely what they want us to think. They are trying to knock Madonna because she stand for everything they are scared of...freedom to say, do and think whatever you want! Being part of Europe is just politics, they are so backward that they can't see ahead!
FACT.Madonna had already SOLD over 30,000 tickets at that venue. This article is full of LIES.
We're just not that interested in her. When good rock acts play, they sell out, and although we are only 2 million, people come from neighbouring Austria and Italy if it's a good concert. Whitesnake was full of Italian rockers. And when the good Yugo-rock nostalgia acts like Bajaga and Bijelo Dugme, Parne Valjak play - watch out, there aren't even stadiums big enough to hold that many fans. She's just not worth the money she was charging, it's too expensive for us as our salaries are still quite low, on average about 1200 euro per month, she doesn't have [...]
Read the full comment any emotional connection to Slovenia (like the Yugo acts do) and probably doesn't even know where Ljubljana is. Brian Adams on the other hand made a huge effort to get to know Slovenia and is a sell-out every time.
She has a disastrous habit of always arriving two hours late for concerts or gigs (which caused great problems for London fans recently in trying to get back hom by public transport !), so - basically - serves her right.
Maybe an unexpected "hole" in her diary will enable her to turn up to her next engagement on time ?
The title of your article is rude.
Slovenia has only a couple million people in it. 7000 is a pretty good percentage of that. Seems organizers could have taken advantage of the situation by having Madonna play a much smaller, more intimate space. This could have been an interesting opportunity both for her and Slovenian fans, as opposed to doing the usual pompous, overblown stadium show. But I guess 7000 people are not worth your time when you're a superstar. :-/
