Dedicated (and possibly slightly insane) Madonna fans slept on the cold streets of North London on Monday night in a bid to get one of just 200 tickets available for that intimate gig that took place at Camden's Koko venue last night.
Madonna played the small showcase at Koko to promote new album 'Confessions On A Dance Floor', released this week, of course. The intimate venue was chosen because, in its former incarnation as the Camden Palace, it was the location of Madonna's first ever UK gig back in 1983. Despite only playing a five song set, four of which came from her new album, her audience seemed happy, including those that had queued up for 24 hours in the London winter weather to get tickets.
According to The Star, tickets for the event were so sought after that the Managing Director of phone company O2, who sponsored the event, couldn't get hold of any. Explaining why he had queued up in the cold to get in to the event, one fan told the London Evening Standard newspaper: "It's a bit harsh, but we couldn't miss it. It's a one-off show, it's the world premiere of the new songs, so it's a really special occasion. And it's a really small venue - it's going to be amazing."
