Madonna with her kids and Steven Klein at the Kabbalah centre in New York (May 23 2009)
DJ Enferno – known to his friends and family as Eric Jao – is from Fairfax and grew up in Northern Virginia. He’ll be spinning at Ultra Bar on Saturday night. He spent eight months touring with Madonna last year, but he’s stopped home for a bit of a break before going on her European summer tour.
So what’s it like being on the road with Madonna?
“She has so much knowledge– she’s been in the business for so long, she’s got so many good ideas, and she’s really witty,” he said during an interview with FOX 5. “That was one surprising thing that I found out about her. She’s really sharp and she’ll kind of bust your chops a little bit.”
DJ Enferno says he landed his gig with Madonna after the music director for the tour saw him perform in Orlando.

Madonna with Lourdes at the Kabbalah centre in New York (May 15 2009)
Despite whispers of wedding bells, Madonna and her boy toy Jesus Luz have no plans to marry, a rep for the singer tells In Touch. “This is completely and totally not true,” her spokesperson says.
Reports emerged on May 14 that the 22-year-old Brazilian hunk’s father, Luis Heitor Pinto da Luz, announced that his model son and the Material Girl, 50, would tie the knot in a Kabbalah service in New York. “The ceremony [that] will link up my son Jesus Luz and Madonna only confirms that he is extremely happy,” he allegedly told Brazilian magazine Quem.
The star’s rep further denies that the proud papa spoke at all about the alleged nuptials to the mag. “Jesus’ father didn’t make any statement on this subject,” she adds. Madonna, who split from husband Guy Ritchie last fall, started dating her much-younger boyfriend in December.
The organisers of the Madonna show have decided to allocate 5000 additional tickets which will be released on general sale May 19. Reportedly, the demand for the precious tickets has been so great that a decision was made to release a further batch. There has been no comment from the organisers whether the increase of capacity will bear on the safety of the people who are in the pit.
Tickets can now be purchased nationwide from Ticketpro or online, at www.ticketpro.com
When Madonna first announced at the beginning of May that she will perform in Sofia, the news became a complete sensation.
Madonna’s first ever concert in Bulgaria will be on Saturday August 29 2009 in Sofia at 8pm at Vassil Levski National Stadium. The concert, one of the entertainment highlights of the year, is expected to draw tens of thousands of fans not just from Bulgaria but from all over South East Europe, proving a stiff test for Bulgarian police.
The most expensive tickets, for those seeking to stay inside the Golden Circle just metres from Madonna, will cost 200 leva. People willing to stand in front of the stage will pay 150 leva.
The cheapest tickets, in the pit, cost 100 leva. Seat prices will vary between 110, 135 and 165 leva depending on location.
Madonna’s concert in Bulgaria is part of her Sticky & Sweet Tour in Europe. She will reportedly arrive with a crew of 250 people, and enough equipment to make her concert the biggest show Bulgarian fans have ever seen.
