After several rejiggings of the dates, Aiken Promotions have confirmed that Britney Spears is opening her Irish account with shows at the Odyssey Arena, Belfast (June 1) and The Point, Dublin (2).

Tickets for both gigs go on sale at 9am on Friday January 30.

Commencing in San Diego on March 2, the Onyx Hotel Tour will be trying to perk up sales of her In The Zone album which has dropped out of the Irish and UK top 30s and hasn't performed as well as hoped in the States either.
