The Circus Is Coming To Town!
 
"The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour"
Comes To Europe This Summer For An Exclusive Limited Engagement

Los Angeles, CA (April 28, 2009) - After an extraordinary run of 39 North American tour dates Britney Spears is bringing "The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour" to Europe. The largest arena concert spectacular to ever tour Europe will begin its run with 8 nights at London's O2 Arena starting June 3. "The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour" is a dazzling display of music, dance, magic and theatrics. With its cast of nearly 50 dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats and a travelling staff of over 200, the 50 million dollar extravaganza will travel Europe with an unprecedented 60 tons of equipment in 34 trucks for what is sure to be the most electrifying musical event ever.
 
The North American leg of the tour started March 3 in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is the highest grossing tour of 2009 in North America to date. As "The Circus Starring Britney Spears 2009 Tour" wound it's way across the U.S. and Canada, it garnered rave reviews from fans and media alike. MTV says "It's truly a sight to behold...the biggest show under one roof,"  "A fun spectacle that lives up to its 'Circus' title," claims the Baton Rouge Advocate and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram exclaims, "The textbook definition of a star certainly applies to the earthly Britney Spears...That description--blinding, scorching evanescence-- could also apply to her first tour in five years."

Britney Spears is one of the top-selling artists of the last decade, and to date she has sold in excess of 62 million albums worldwide.  Her releases include:  ...Baby One More Time (1999);  Oops!... I Did It Again (2000); Britney (2001); In the Zone (2003) and Blackout (2007).  Her current album Circus released on her birthday, December 2, 2008, debuted No. 1 in six countries including Canada, Switzerland, Mexico, Brazil, Japan, and Top 10 in an additional seven countries.

Last week, Braiden Stevenson of Canada made the news for winning tickets to Britney's concert by winning a dance-off in a mall. BritneySpears.com caught up with Braiden to hear all about what it was like to win those tickets. Some highlights are below and the full interview as well as pictures are after the jump.


How Braiden won the tickets:
The challenge was a 1 minute lip-sync to any one of Britney's "My Prerogative, Greatest Hits" CD. It is one thing for a guy to be able to do the choreography, but to have to be Britney and pretend to sing a song is a whole different challenge... I was super cheesy and really dramatic, but I guess it paid off because the judges said that I really "went for it, and didn't hold back."  SO I WON! 

Winning was his destiny:
I actually had tickets for the Miami show, however, last minute I was flown back to Canada and missed the show.  I was able to give my ticket to a friend minutes before the concert and he said the show was fantastic too!  Then I was trying to get tickets to Edmonton but they were completely sold out!  So I guess it was all meant to be!!!

On why dancers love Britney:
She has some of the best club music there is, and there is just a energy when one of her singles are being played at a bar, everyone always gets on the dance floor.
