Monster Ball has been touring since November 2009 and is set to run until April 2011.
"It's an opportunity," Arthur Fogel, Live Nation global touring chairman, said. "As an artist with that kind of talent and vision emerges, it creates a lot of excitement, and ticket sales worldwide demonstrate that people are really excited to see the show.
"Over the course of the next many months, we're trying to play to as many people in as many places as possible," he added. "It's an across-the-board home run."
We'd certainly say so!
