Dubai Madonna will perform a second concert in Abu Dhabi on June 4, organiser Flash Entertainment announced on Tuesday.

About 22,000 tickets for the singer’s June 3 concert went on sale on Monday, and sold out in less than two hours. The announcement of the “second and final” concert the following day follows “overwhelming fan demand in the Middle East”, said a spokesperson. Tickets, she added, will go on sale March 5.

Disappointed fans who could not get tickets for first show posted angry messages on Flash Entertainment’s Facebook page on Monday.
