Britney Spears has confirmed a second batch of dates for her upcoming Las Vegas residency.

The singer announced a two-year deal with Planet Hollywood earlier this year and her run of dates is due to kick off on December 27.

The Piece of Me residency seems to have been selling well and this has prompted the singer's team to release the next group of dates.

They kick off in April before concluding in September. Spears tweeted:

"Stoked to announce that new dates have been added to #PieceOfMe too!"
