Britney planning Australian tour

Melbourne, Mar 22 (ANI): Pop star Britney Spears is planning to make her first Australian tour.

The singer is talks with leading concert promoters, and tour dates are expected to be scheduled for later this year.

"All the promoters are vying for it, but the bottom line is she really wants to come here and she really wants to come here this year," News.com.au quoted Sony Australia boss Denis Handlin, as saying.

Handlin spoke to Barry Weiss, the head of Spears' American record label, last week about the tour.

"I think the promoters are battling it out at the moment," he said.

Frontier Touring's Michael Gudinski confirmed he was in negotiations with Spears' management.

Gudinski said several promoters had been chasing the 'Toxic' hitmaker.

"I don't expect anything will be worked out or finalised for a month, but we're in there," he said. (ANI)
