AFTER a 20-year wait, Madonna's long-suffering Aussie fans will finally be rewarded this week.

The queen of pop will announce the highly anticipated Sydney concert dates for her MDNA world tour, due to arrive in Australia in January.

She last played here in November, 1993, performing three shows at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Back then, Peter Andre was her local tour support.

After a Christmas and New Year's break, the 53-year-old Material Girl is then expected to bring the show Down Under.
