Pop music mega star Britney Spears announced a new tour to be held this summer.  The tour currently consisting of 26 concerts will begin in Sacramento on June 17, ending in Toronto on August 13.  Additional tour dates are likely to be added in the future.   The tour carries the same name as her new album “Femme Fatale” which was released this Tuesday.  Performances will likely include most songs from her latest album as well as some of Britney’s all time favorites (Hit Me Baby One More Time anyone?).

Brittney was originally supposed to join forces with Enrique Iglesias, but Iglesias announced that he is withdrawing his participation in the tour.  The reason for his change of heart is not completely clear, but sources say Iglesias did not want to take the role of a supporting performer.
Historically, Britney Spears tickets were sold out very fast with secondary market tickets selling at a significant markup, fans are strongly encouraged to purchase their tickets well in advance.   Tickets aren’t available yet but will be sure to let you know as soon as they go on sale.

The tour will support Simon’s new album “So Beautiful or So What” – his first album in over 5 years.  The concert is promised to include many of Simon’s favorite songs from all time.  With Simon’s rich career and huge number of top ten hits and all time favorites, I think show will be a blast!  Perhaps as great as this one:
