Madonna to perform live on internet

Madonna's return to live shows will be beamed around America on the internet.

Madonna's return to live shows are to be broadcast around America on the internet.

The pop superstar has confirmed she will play a one-off show at New York's Roseland Ballroom on April 30, and the gig will be broadcast live to US viewers on MSN.com.

The concert will be re-broadcast on May 15 for the rest of the world.

Tickets for the show will not be pre-sold - customers of US communications giant Verizon will be able to compete for many of the tickets and other potentially lucky fans will need to line up outside the Roseland to receive tickets on a first-come basis.

The concert will mark the first time Madonna has performed songs from her hotly anticipated new album 'Hard Candy', which is released on April 29.
