Why was Justin Bieber’s US tour postponed?

In 2020, pop artist Justin Bieber postponed his world tour, Justice, due to concerns surrounding Covid-19. Now, Covid has postponed the tour yet again.

On February 19, 2022, Bieber tested positive for Covid-19, causing fans to question the singer’s upcoming 2022 tour dates.

Who is Justin Bieber?

Justin Bieber’s Justice tour was supposed to continue in February 2022, but following a positive Covid diagnosis his team is yet to release information on the upcoming concert dates.

Justin Bieber rose to fame in 2008 after signing to Scooter Braun’s record label, RBMG Records, at just 14-years-old.

Since 2008, Bieber has released six studio albums, created hits including Baby, Peaches, and Beauty and a Beat, and won two Grammy awards.

In 2021, Bieber released his most recent album Justice. Since 2018, he has been married to American model Hailey (Baldwin) Bieber.

When will the Justice tour begin?

The 52-show tour was originally slated to begin in 2020 but was pushed to 2021 after the onset of the Covid pandemic. In 2021, Bieber’s team decided to move the tour once again.

The tour, which began last week in California, was supposed to have shows in Glendale, Arizona, Los Angeles, California, and Tacoma, Washington in the coming days.

Now it is unlikely those shows will go on.

Bieber was also supposed to perform this past weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, but was forced to cancel that performance as well.

The Las Vegas tour date has been rescheduled for the end of June.

Will there be other celebrities on the Justice tour?

When Bieber announced his tour in 2020, artists Jaden Smith and Kehlani were set as his openers.

Due to scheduling conflicts cause by moving the tour two years, new 2022 openers are JADEN, Téo?, and Eddie Benjamin and Harry Hudson in select cities.
