MUMBAI: Britney Spears in association with AEG Live is bringing The Circus Starring Britney Spears back to North America. Currently touring Europe, Britney will return to Canada and the US starting 20 August, to perform in 20 cities.

The Circus Starring Britney Spears is a display of music, dance, magic and theatrics. With its cast of nearly 50 dancers, magicians, clowns and acrobats, and a traveling staff of over 200, the 50 million dollar extravaganza travels with an unprecedented 60 tons of equipment in 34 trucks for what has already proven to be the most electrifying musical event ever.
