Madonna reigns supreme with her return to live performance

Playing her first UK live show this year, the iconic singer performed a number of songs from her new album, Hard Candy. Fans were especially delighted by the rendition of her current number one single, 4 Minutes, alongside a "virtual" version of co-singer Justin Timberlake.



Famed for her reinventions, the 49-year-old musician, dressed entirely in black, also performed reworked versions of her hits Music and Hung Up as part of her 40-minute set.



Speaking of her song selection for the Maidstone concert, she said: "Obviously, I want to do new stuff because I'm very excited about it. I feel that’s what people come to hear, but I also want to do a few of my oldies but goodies."



Radio 1's Big Weekend is the biggest free music festival in Europe. US R&B singer Usher kicked off the action this year, with the crowd also being entertained by acts including Welsh sensation Duffy and The Fratellis.
