Pop princess Britney Spears is set to confirm she'll be playing two monster dates here.
The Herald can exclusively reveal that final negotiations are under way in a bid to bring the star to Dublin this summer for several huge gigs in the RDS.
The controversial Womanizer star has been taking her native America by storm as she performs a string of 49 smash-hit dates as part of her Circus comeback tour.
Now it's widely speculated that she'll shortly add some Irish dates to the end of her British tour, which takes in eight shows this June. "It's more a case of when and not if," said an insider. "She'll be playing a load of dates in London's O2 in June so the general belief is that she'll also be adding two Irish performances to her tour.
"Her management team know they'll have no problem selling tickets for her show in Ireland as she's so popular over here, so it's a bit of a no-brainer. She performed at the RDS the last time and she thought it was an amazing venue and suited her kind of show perfectly."
Lawyers for the pop singer recently discussed expanding her tour to perform in Australia and play extra dates in Europe during a court hearing in the US. She's now expected to get the go-ahead to head down-under for a month and play in cities including Melbourne and Sydney as she continues to re-ignite her pop career.
The mum-of-two has rarely been out of the headlines for the past three years after she suffered a very public meltdown, culminating in hospital treatment.
Britney (27) also lost full custody of her two young sons with former husband Kevin Federline, Sean Preston and Jayden James, as a result of her personal problems. But now she's been hailed for making such an impressive comeback, with fans giving her standing ovations at many of her raunchy shows.
However, if Irish pop fans are hoping to see her perform on home soil in a few months time, they better start saving up their cents now if the English prices are anything to go by.
Basic ticket prices for her London dates, which start on June 6, start at £49 (E55) but go up to a whopping £1,300 for two VIP passes. For those who fancy forking out for the privilege, this gets you a backstage tour and 'ringside seats'.
As well as getting a birds-eye view of Britney's performance, you'll also get VIP parking, finger buffet and drinks and various gifts and goodies.
