Forget the Super Bowl halftime stage, Madonna is ready to take on the world.

The 53-year-old Material Girl has announced the dates for her 2012 world tour, in support of her upcoming album, MDNA.

Madonna will begin her tour of 52 cities on May 29 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The world tour will include stops in Istanbul, Vienna, New York and Vancouver.

There are several firsts for Madge. Not only will the MDNA tour be her most extensive (in terms of dates), the tour will also be Madonna's first visit to Australia for the first time in 20 years, Live Nation CEO Arthur Fogel told Billboard.

The MDNA tour will also be Madonna's first tour in three years. Her last tour, Sticky & Sweet, grossed more than $408 million in ticket sales, Billboard reports. The tour is the fourth highest-grossing concert tour of all time, behind U2's 360 Tour ($736 million), The Rolling Stone's A Bigger Bang Tour ($558 million) and AC/DC's Black Ice World Tour ($441 million).

The tour announcement is the latest Madonna headline to hit the music and entertainment world. On Friday, Madonna released the music video for Give Me All Your Luvin' -- two days ahead of her big Super Bowl halftime performance with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., who also appear in the video and song.

The halftime show, which was viewed by a record of 114 million people, did not disappoint. Madge delivered her classics Vogue, Music, Express Yourself, before launching into her new single Give Me All Your Luvin.' Joined by Cee Lo Green, his marching band and a choir, Madonna finished the halftime show with Like A Prayer, as the words World Peace lit up the field.

According to Fogel and Live Nation, more MDNA tour dates will be announced in the coming months, as Madonna is expected to finish the tour in Australia in 2013. This will put the total number of tour dates at around 90, according to Billboard.

MDNA arrives in stores on Mar. 26.
