Britney Spears To Bring Out Classic Songs & ‘Wild’ Costumes On ‘Circus’ Tour

The following italicized article is from www.accesshollywood.com:

On Tuesday night, Britney Spears will make her comeback to the arena tour circuit and today fans got a sneak peek of the pop princess’ set list.

The singer’s official Web site posted the set list for, “The Circus starring Britney Spears,” tour and fans now know that the show will be packed with a host of Brit’s most beloved songs.

The show will kick off with the title track from Britney’s sixth studio album, “Circus,” and will be followed by “Piece of Me,” from 2007’s “Blackout.”

Other Britney favorites cropping up on the set list include a Bollywood version of “Me Against The Music,” the song Britney originally dueted on with Madonna, leading some to wonder if the Queen of Pop will be appearing by video on Brit’s tour. After all, Britney did the very same for Madonna’s “Sticky & Sweet” jaunt last year.

Britney will also perform “Toxic,” and a remix of her uber-classic first single, “Baby One More Time.”

The encore will include “Womanizer” and another version of the opening song, “Circus.”

And, according to Women’s Wear Daily, design house Dsquared has only just finished up the pop star’s costumes for the upcoming 30-date trek.

Dan and Dean Caten, who make up Dsquared, were brought on last year to design stage wear for Britney and they told WWD they were honored to be a part of the “Circus.”

“We are enormous fans of Britney, and have been waiting for the perfect moment to collaborate with her,” twin designer Dan and Dean told the fashion daily. “It’s going to be wild.”

Britney's Family Excited and Anxious About Tour

The following italicized article is from www.people.com:

On Tuesday, Britney Spears will kick off her anticipated Circus tour in New Orleans surrounded by fans – and touched by the support of her family.

"I am so excited for her, and I wish I could be there," Spears's aunt, Linda Ann Brandon-Kjos, tells PEOPLE. "All the family is there and supporting her. I'm sure that she is going to be just fine. I think it is going to be something really special."

After spending the weekend with family in Kentwood, Spears, 27, has arrived in New Orleans in advance of her show at the New Orleans Arena. The singer's set-list, which was revealed Monday, shows that she'll perform a mix of old and new hits. Spears, who is the new face of Candie's, also released a short video preview of the concert on her Web site, with a longer version on the Candie's site.

Sources close to the pop star have said that she has been working hard preparing for the show, which will include a three-ring circus set-up and magic tricks.

Something to Prove

While expectations are high, some in Spears's inner-circle have expressed some hesitation – even nerves – about her return to the stage.

"[Her family] is worried that this might be too much pressure for her," says a family friend. "Is it too soon? It wasn't that long ago that she was falling apart and now the pressure is on and it's a lot."

Adds the family friend: "It's hard because she is such a pleaser and has always worked hard. When she was younger, she was a perfectionist and went over and over things in her routines to get them just exactly right. She says she is ready, but who is she doing this for?"

Fans Are Excited

One possibility: Her fans. And they are excited about the shows.

"A lot of people got tickets really early," Travis Bergeron, 24, a New Orleans resident, and Spears fan, tells PEOPLE. "I've got seats on the eighth row right above floor level. One of my friends knew I was obsessed and got me tickets as a Christmas gift. I'm a huge, huge, huge Britney fan."

Britney's All Set For The Circus

The following italicized article is from www.thesun.co.uk:

BRITNEY SPEARS has arrived in New Orleans ahead of the opening of her Circus tour.

The singer's tour bus arrived from Louisiana after Britney jetted into her home state on board a private jet last Friday, so she could spend the weekend at the family mansion.

Her dad JAMIE and two sons SEAN PRESTON and JAYDEN JAMES accompanied her on the gold bus, which received a police escort during its journey.


Britney's burly bodyguard was pictured carrying one of her nippers into her hotel, while the singer was covered by pink umbrellas much to the disappointed of waiting fans.

KEVIN FEDERLINE, Britney's ex-husband, has also jetted in from LA to look after the former couple's children during the 25-date North American tour.

He is reportedly being paid £3,500 ($5,000) a week to take care of the boys - earning him the nickname 'America's Most Expensive Nanny'.
