It’s Official! Britney Spears To Tour Next Year
Woot! As has been heavily speculated in recent weeks, Britney Spears is one step closer to announcing the tour dates for her much-anticipated new world tour. You may recall that back in September Britney announced on Z100 radio in NYC that she is planning to tour next year, then in October we got our first word that she had signed with a concert tour producer to begin work on the show … until today, there has been no announcement concerning tour dates (tho, a new widget was launched last week that is counting down to a “secret” announcement to be made — speculation is that the announcement will entail concert tour dates). BBC News is reporting the first of 2 UK dates next summer that will go on sale December 5, her official website has the deets on the presale for those UK dates. She’s really hittin’ the road, y’all:
Tickets for the dates on 3 and 4 June will go on general sale on 5 December – although fans who register with her website can buy them 24 hours earlier. “It’s going to be very special,” said Rob Hallett of tour promoter AEG. The concert, he said, would take its theme from her latest album The Circus, which is released next week. “We’re creating a musical circus,” he said. “Expect to see jugglers, dancers, tattooed ladies and acrobats.” According to the promoter, the concerts will be Spears’ only dates in Europe “for the foreseeable future”. Spears last performed in the UK in 2004 when her Onyx Hotel tour visited Birmingham, Glasgow, Belfast, Manchester and Wembley Arena in London. The 26-year-old will be in the capital this weekend to appear on ITV1 talent show The X Factor. Before that she will travel to Germany to attend the annual Bambi entertainment awards in Dusseldorf. The singer will be named best international pop star after achieving what organisers have called a “stunning comeback from an absolute low point”. “Britney Spears is back,” said host Hubert Burda. “Radiant and better than ever, the erstwhile idol has reclaimed her throne.” In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the performer admitted she felt “like an old person” now her much-documented troubles are behind her. “I go to bed at, like, 9.30 every night and I don’t go out or anything,” she is quoted as saying. “I just feel like an old fart.” Spears’ mother Lynne, meanwhile, has been telling the BBC how happy she is that her daughter has got her life back on track. “Britney wants to do it right,” she told Radio 5 Live’s Colin Paterson, attributing her recent turnaround to having “good people around her” and “lots and lots of prayer”.

Yet again Trent can’t stop with the Britney news. Anyone that would pay big money to see Britney has no clue what they are doing. I’ve listened to Circus-it’s awful and she used to be more fun. I’m not a hater, just telling the truth you all!

Can. Not. Wait! I would love it is US tour dates got announced ASAP with tickets on sale before Christmas. This is what my mom was anticipating buying me, but obviously she cannot right now. :( But, no matter who pays for them, I will be there the SECOND she gets close to me. YAY! :)

Why would anyone pay to see Britney lip-sync through a show. Can anyone show me any video of her actually singing “live.” The woman is a joke as far as talent goes.

The more Britney news that comes out the more skeptical I am that this media and publicity blitz is ultimately a good idea at this time… I remember it was during her Onyx Hotel tour that the shit started hittng the fan big time (she got injured, hooked up with K-Fed, canceled the tour) and it seemed like the strain of all of her professional responsibilities was a huge contributor to her downward spiral. This hype that keeps getting churned out at an increasingly frenzied pace sounds really premature. Can you imagine any non-famous person who had gone through a serious mental breakdown not even a year prior trying to take this kind of workload on, like going from not working at all to taking charge as a CEO of a huge corporation? I just cannot imagine the stress Britney is putting herself under. The poor girl does a lot of things I don’t understand but this really seems like it could be another disaster. I obviously don’t know what would be best for her, other than an intensive therapy program and some privacy with her and family, but I can hardly think that this would be it. As a person with a family member who has been battling bipolar disorder for over half her life, I have seen the stress of responsibilities cause setbacks again and again.
