- BY LAURA HARDING

POP superstar Britney Spears is to perform at the 3Arena in Dublin this summer during a string of live shows in Europe.

Yesterday the former child star added a new London date to her Piece Of Me tour, as well as shows in Birmingham and Blackpool.

The singer has also added a stop in Paris after huge demand for tickets.

Spears will play Brighton Pride on August 4, Scarboroug­h Open Air Theatre on August 17, the Manchester Arena on August 18, the 3Arena in Dublin on August 20, the SSE Hydro in Glasgow on August 22 and London’s O2 Arena on August 24, 25 and 26.

She will also play at the UK Genting Arena in Birmingham on August 31 and the UK Tower Festival in Blackpool on September 1.

Entertainm­ent company Live Nation announced the news yesterday.

It said: “Due to overwhelmi­ngly rapid sales of legendary pop icon Britney Spears’ exclusive last time ever, limited tour of her award-winning and record-breaking show ‘Britney: Piece of Me’, four additional European shows have been added due to demand, including a third show at London’s O2 Arena.”

Spears ended her Las Vegas residency on December 31 with a live performanc­e from the Planet Hollywood hotel and casino that was broadcast on television in the United States.

Spears opened the show in December 2013, giving more than 250 performanc­es and selling more than 930,000 tickets to revellers.

Tickets for the new shows will go on sale on February 13.
