On the eve of Madonna’s sold-out, three-month North American tour, America Online, the world’s leading interactive services company, will be offering AOL members a “Madonna All-Access” pass for the ultimate look at her first U.S. tour in eight years.

The tour which features material selected from her current multi-platinum CD, MUSIC, as well as signature songs spanning the length of her incredible career already wowed European fans with Madonna’s costumes, her choreography and even her guitar chops.

Each week for the next five weeks, AOL’s MADONNA DROWNED WORLD TOUR 2001 sweepstakes will fly one weekly Grand Prize winner and a friend on an outing to see the “Queen of Pop” in concert when she touches down in one of five U.S. cities beginning August 10th in Washington, D.C.
