Promoted by T-Mobile, the tour was originally set to begin on May 14, 2020, in Seattle and to conclude on September 26, 2020, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of the original planned dates were postponed to 2021, and later to 2022. The tour officially began on February 18, 2022, in San Diego and was scheduled to end on March 25, 2023, in Kraków.[4][5] However, the tour ended in Rio de Janeiro on September 4, 2022, due to Bieber prioritizing his health, after 49 shows in three continents, with the remaining shows being cancelled in February 2023.[6]
The remainder of tour dates were cancelled in late 2022 after Bieber was diagnosed with Type 2 Ramsay Hunt syndrome.[7]
Background
editDuring the last quarter of 2019, especially in December, Bieber started teasing his musical comeback via his social media.[8] On December 20, Bieber tweeted that something was going to happen on the December 24, December 31, 2019, as well as on January 3 and 4, 2020. On December 24, he released a video on YouTube where he announced that he would release his fifth album during 2020, on December 31 was released trailer for Justin Bieber: Seasons, the first single of his fifth studio album "Yummy" was released on January 3, and on January 13 he announced the first round of dates for his new world tour, releasing North American dates.[9][10] Jaden Smith and Kehlani were originally set to be opening acts. On March 6, 2020, several stadium dates were downsized to arena dates, with shows moved to arena venues adjacent to the stadiums. Bieber's team cited "unforeseen circumstances" and low ticket sales.[11]
On April 1, 2020, it was announced the tour was postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.[12] On July 23, Bieber released rescheduled tour dates set to be played in 2021.[13] However, on April 30, 2021, Bieber announced that the tour was to be postponed to 2022.[14] The new tour dates were announced on May 6, 2021.[15] Jaden Smith, Eddie Benjamin, ¿Téo?, and Harry Hudson were announced as opening acts for North American dates.[16] On November 15, 2021, Bieber announced an additional 98 dates, spanning into late 2022 and early 2023 with shows across North America, Europe, South America, Africa, Israel and Oceania.[17] On March 9, 2022, Bieber announced 4 shows in Japan. On March 24, 2022, Bieber announced 2 shows in Malaysia, a show in Indonesia and added an additional date in Japan. Additional dates have also been announced in Bahrain, the Philippines, Dubai, New Delhi, Sydney, Amsterdam, Dublin, and London.[18]
On September 6, 2022, two days after the first concert in Latin America as part of the Rock in Rio festival, it was announced that all remaining dates of the tour would be postponed due to Bieber prioritizing his health. In a statement shared on social media, the singer said that "After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized that I need to make my health the priority right now. So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I'm going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better."[19] On September 15, 2022, an announcement posted on the official page for the tour clarified that only the dates until October 18 had been cancelled, with "all other shows remaining as scheduled unless otherwise advised".[20][21] However, on October 6, it was announced that the concert in Rio de Janeiro was the final performance of the tour, with the period of mass postponement extended to all the following shows, which have yet to be rescheduled.[22]
