Swedish star Robyn, set to perform to 50,000 people in Hyde Park tomorrow, joined ilikemusic.com for a surprise weekend performance at the Euro 2008 finale. The singer was celebrating the news she will join Madonna on her European tour.
The special gig, also featuring Austrian dance star Philipp Van Het Veld, was held at the 'Republic of Puma Football' in Volksgarten, Vienna.
"I am delighted and proud to reveal that Madonna has asked me," Robyn told ilikemusic. "It tops off a superb year of success, it is great that two women will be performing together in so many incredible venues."
The Puma party was in preparation for Robyn's next UK performance - in front of 50,000 fans in London tomorrow. "I can't wait to play the Wireless Festival, I performed there last year and had an amazing time, it is such a huge and energetic crowd, my British fans are fantastic."
A host of star sporting names were in attendance at Robyn's Euro 2008 gig, Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o was at hand to enjoy celebrations - but Robyn had her eye on other football stars. "Deco and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are looking good," she said with a smile.
Calvin Harris and New Young Pony Club also played special gigs during the football tournament in the 'Republic of Puma Football' venue in the last fortnight.
Robyn's set included recent chart hits 'Be Mine' and 'With Every Heartbeat', however she kept core fans happy with a surprise encore performance of her early smash hit 'Show Me Love'.
Robyn will tour with Madonna across Europe from 26th August.
