It looks like Britney herself might end up being the last person to tweet about it but we finally have official confirmation on her website that Nicki Minaj will be joining Miss Spears, Nervo and Jessie & The Boy Toys on her US tour. Whether she'll be there for the UK dates (if there are UK dates that is...) is another matter.
The US tour runs from June 16th to August 13th and takes in twenty-six dates across the country. The tickets go on sale on April 30th. Britney's statement on her site is getting us very excited about it all:
"This is the Femme Fatale tour and I'm thrilled to have the hot Nicki Minaj join me and Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nervo will get everyone on the dance floor. Can't wait to take the Femme Fatales on the road."
In a recent interview with MTV, Britney's manager Larry Rudolph revealed that the tour will have a post-apocalyptic feel similar to that in the Till The World Ends video.
"The way we come up with a concept for a show like this is we sit with Britney, she talks to us about what she's interested in and what excites her," said Rudolph. "We start with the songs on the album; we start with coming up with general, broad concepts. She tells us what interests her and excites her."
