Thousands attend Madonna show

42,000 people attended a concert by Madonna in Prague on Thursday night. The American pop singer was promoting her most recent album Sticky and Sweet. She had performed once before in the Czech capital (in back-to-back concerts) three years ago. On Thursday Madonna performed on a green area in the Chodov district of Prague which had not previously been used as a concert venue. On Friday organisers said the show had proven that the Czech capital could stage similar large-scale events; but some fans complained on Thursday of suffering long delays before being allowed onto the concert grounds.
