Scarborough can tick off the classic staples of any self-respecting British seaside town - fish and chips, ice-cream and arcades.
It's also famous for its castle, sweeping beaches and donkey rides.
Britney impersonator, Jeni Jaye, who lives in North Yorkshire, tells Newsbeat it's a brilliant town to perform in.

"Having played Scarborough myself I think Britney is going to be so very welcomed by everybody, especially us Yorkshire people.
"From my own experience, it's been fantastic and I've had a great response."
Scarborough Castle is one of the town's main attractions
That's backed up by Jodie, a "massive Britney fan" from Scarborough. "Come rain, wind and snow, crowds will be there to support her," she says.
"Yorkshire fans are the best fans in the world."
It's not just history and scenery that makes it a great place to visit.
The local tourist board tells Newsbeat Scarborough offers some of the glamour that Las Vegas has too.
It's got casinos and posh hotels. And maybe she'll get lucky, like Bev here...

The tourist board insists this was definitely taken in Scarborough
When it comes to sampling the local cuisine, there's only one thing Britney should pick up on her way home.
Jodie and Jeni agree that fish and chips is "a must".
"I certainly think she'll find it a very cute place, knowing Britney," Jeni adds.
If it's a dip in the sea she's after then she might want to consider hiring a surfboard.
The Yorkshire coast is considered by some as one of the best places in the country for surfing.
The local tourist board told Newsbeat it has "sweeping bays creating a huge swell window, and perfect conditions for all types of surfing year round, including Paddle Boarding, kite and windsurfing if the waves are sleeping."

If none of that floats her boat, then Jodi says the top thing Britney needs to do is hop on the back of a donkey.
