Talk about tasty news for local Madonna fans: The Material Girl has announced plans to bring her "Sticky & Sweet" tour to Oracle Arena in Oakland on Nov. 1.

Showtime is 7 p.m. Tickets, which run from $55 to $350, go on sale at 10 a.m. June 1 through www.livenation.com and Ticketmaster outlets.

The recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee will use this tour to support her 11th studio album, "Hard Candy," which was released in late April. The album reportedly debuted at No. 1 in 27 countries around the world, including the U.S. The set follows 2005's multiplatinum "Confessions on a Dance Floor" and includes the smash single "4 Minutes."

Madonna's last trek was 2006's Confessions Tour, which was seen by more than 1.3 million fans and became the highest grossing concert tour of all time for a female artist.
