Britney Spears [ tickets ] has added more shows to the summer leg of her Onyx Hotel tour, which kicks off in late June.

The outing is now scheduled to run until mid-August. The new batch of shows includes a half-dozen California stops, all set in August.

Tickets for many of the dates are on sale now, while those for stops in Raleigh, NC; Charlotte, NC; and Bakersfield, CA are set to hit the box office on Saturday (5/1). Details are shown in the itinerary below.

Spears is touring behind last November's "In the Zone," which sold 609,000 copies during its first week in stores and debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart. The set marks Spears' fourth consecutive No. 1 album.

Earlier this month, Spears released a DVD, also titled "In the Zone." The disc houses an "In the Zone" television special that originally aired on ABC, as well as new interview and additional performance footage. The set includes a bonus CD that features two remixes and two new cuts. Details are posted at Spears' website.

Merchandising company Signatures Network recently announced that merchandise sales for Britney Spears' Onyx Hotel tour have crossed the $30 million mark, the highest for a solo-female artist in the last five years.

This summer, Spears' charity, The Britney Spears Foundation, will hold a Britney Spears Camp for the Performing Arts at a resident summer camp located on Cape Cod, MA. Set to run Aug. 21-30, the camp is open to boys and girls ages 11-15, and offers "small group programs in acting, dance, singing, set design, blues music, juggling, and drumming," according to information posted at Spears' website.
