Britney Spears And 14 More Artistes Who Are Not Coming To Malaysia This Year

Instead, they're most probably stopping by our neighbouring countries, especially Singapore and Bangkok, Thailand. Like Coldplay (above).

Taking a break from her resident show in Las Vegas, the Princess of Pop will be performing in Bangkok's Impact Arena on 24 June and in Singapore on 30 June this year. Britney, who last held a world tour in 2011, has also confirmed concert dates for Japan, Hong Kong (sold out), Manila (20,000 tickets sold out in less than 30 minutes), and Israel.

Tickets are priced from 3,500 Baht (RM440) to 12,000 Baht (RM1,506) for the Bangkok show, while the venue and ticketing details for the Singapore stop have yet to be announced.

Not only does he have a major role in Christopher Nolan's upcoming war epic 'Dunkirk', One Direction's Harry Styles has branched out on his own with a solo album coming out on 12 May with an accompanying world tour later this year.
