Madonna fans in the UK and 13 other countries will be able to watch her perform live in New York on their mobile phones.

The pop singer's concert on Wednesday night at the Roseland Ballroom, a day after her new Hard Candy album is released, will be streamed live outside America to Vodafone customers.

Wednesday’s performance at the 3,000 capacity New York club will be the first time Madonna plays live songs from her new album.

Mobile customers in Cyprus, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Spain and the

UK will have access to the show via their phones and streamed via their PCs at www.vodafone.com/music. They will also be able to interact with

other online show-goers and select camera angles to move around the stage to get the best view.

“Offering millions of fans around the world live, interactive access to a unique, intimate Madonna show is a powerful way to showcase a new album,” said John Reid of Warner Music Europe.

Madonna’s latest hit, 4 Minutes, featuring Justin Timberlake, stayed at the top spot in the Official UK Charts Company’s singles chart this week.
