After months of speculation, Britney Spears has confirmed that she will be playing two London dates as part of next year’s World Tour. Britney Spears will perform at the O2 Arena on the 3rd and 4th of June, which will be the only European dates on next year’s tour.

Britney Spears’ concerts are reportedly going to be inspired by the title of her forthcoming album, Circus. Fans can expect to see clowns, jugglers and acrobats. The Britney Spears album is currently available for pre-order and will be released on the 1st December.

Coincidentally, Take That are releasing their latest album, The Circus on the same date. Like Britney Spears, the hugely popular boyband will be touring next summer. The epic Take That tour kicks off in Sunderland on June 4th and climaxes with a 4 night stint at Wembley Arena in July. Hundreds of Take That tickets are still available with prices up to £750 for top seats. For those of you working with a smaller budget don’t worry. Tickets to see Take That can still be snapped up from £45.
