Britney Spears to perform in Scarborough

She’s smashed Las Vegas. Now Britney Spears is about to hit the real big time – with a gig in Scarbados!

Britney Spears is taking her Piece Of Me show on the road after it wrapped in Las Vegas.

The pop princess ended her award-winning residency on New Year’s Eve after a four-year stint at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.

She has now announced a limited tour of the show, entitled Britney: Piece Of Me, in Europe and on the east coast of the US – where she will perform in intimate venues to capture the feel of the Vegas production.

And it hits Scarborough Open Air Theatre on Friday, August 17. Tickets go on sale this Friday (January 26) – full details below.

Show director Peter Taylor said: “Britney Spears is quite simply one of the biggest music stars in the world. Her live shows are stunning events and her tours sell out across the globe.

“We are delighted to be bringing her ‘Piece Of Me’ show here to the UK. This is going to be something truly special.”
