On the back of her four year Las Vegas residency, Britney Spears is said to be announcing shows "very soon" in Ireland, the UK and elsewhere in Europe.

It is reported that the 'Toxic' singer will be performing live around Europe for three months (July - September), making it her first European tour in seven years. The Femme Fatale tour was her last international music venture back in 2011.

Dates are to be announced for France, Belgium, the UK and Ireland - with Dublin's 3Arena and London's O2 Arena being listed as the confirmed venues.
