November 25, 200816 yr I read on the London Paper today that she is performing 10 shows at O2 Arena in July! Don't know if its true though, but thought about mentioning :-)
November 25, 200816 yr Ill probs end up going to like 2 or 3 shows :lol: Ah the joys of living opposite the O2 :wub: Edited November 25, 200816 yr by Joao Filipe
November 25, 200816 yr I really hope she performs at the O2 Arena. I am so going to the nearest concert to me. :w00t:
November 26, 200816 yr US singer Britney Spears is to play two concerts at the O2 arena in London next June - the only European shows on her forthcoming world tour. 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. This blows :angry:
November 26, 200816 yr It is ridiculous that there are only 2 concerts for the whole of Europe - but at least they are both in my country! :P
November 26, 200816 yr I think she will add more when they sell out Me too, there should be at least one in every European country. ^_^
November 26, 200816 yr Author I really think there will be more dates added than this. I bloody hope so, because that's my exam period, and I really need to not have an exam at 9am the day after a Britney concert!!
November 26, 200816 yr Author I've signed up too ... my exam period finished on the 6th, I've have to be SO unlucky to have an exam the second-to-last day of the exam period!! *plz Gawddd*
November 26, 200816 yr ^Most likely on the day... Im thinking they will be around 50?? I dunno ive never been to the O2
