NEW YORK -- Madonna's "Sticky & Sweet" Show, the most successful tour by a solo artist in history, will make its world premiere on EPIX. The announcement was confirmed by the multiplatform entertainment service today. TV and online audiences will be able to see "Sticky & Sweet" for the very first time when it debuts across all EPIX platforms: television channel, video-on-demand and online at www.EPIXHD.com

The Material Girl's latest song and dance extravaganza was seen by over 3.5 million Madonna fans in 32 countries around the globe over the last two years. The show that airs on EPIX was filmed in Buenos Aires' River Plate Stadium, where she performed for 256,000 fans over four shows in two days.

"In the premiere league of song-and-dance spectaculars, the queen of pop remains unrivaled and undefeated," glowed the Times when "Sticky & Sweet" debuted in London. The tour began in conjunction with the release of the multi Grammy winner's "Hard Candy" album, which debuted at No. 1 in 37 countries. Her latest CD "Celebration"-- the definitive Greatest Hits collection � has just been released.

"An unstoppable force and the ultimate entertainer, Madonna gives an amazing performance," said EPIX president Mark Greenberg. "She's in a category of her own."
