Justin Bieber announces Purpose World Tour
50-plus city tour begins March 2016 in North America
With back-to-back worldwide smash hit singles and anticipation for his new studio album Purpose this Friday hitting an all-time high, global superstar Justin Bieber has announced his 50-plus city Purpose World Tour beginning March 9 in Seattle.
The 58-date tour, promoted by AEG Live, will travel through arenas across North America; fans will be able to see Bieber’s dynamic live show in U.S. cities such as Denver, Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Chicago, Boston and Miami as well as all throughout Eastern and Western Canada. Bieber will play two-night runs at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Los Angeles’ STAPLES Center, Chicago’s Allstate Arena and Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. The tour will conclude on July 18 at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden.
American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets for the U.S. shows before the general public beginning Monday, Nov. 16, at noon local time through Thursday, Nov. 19, at 10 p.m. local time. General public tickets for all shows will begin to go on-sale beginning Friday, Nov. 20, at 10 a.m. local time at www.aeglive.com. Please see below for complete tour itinerary and on-sale details.
The hype around Bieber’s new music continues with the smash successes of Sorry and What Do You Mean?, which was crowned Justin’s first No. 1 on Billboard’s all-format airplay/sales/streaming-based Hot 100 the week of its release, selling more than 335,000 units digitally in the U.S. that week. What Do You Mean? also went to No. 1 in Justin’s native Canada, and became his first No. 1 U.K. national chart hit. The song, which hit No. 1 at iTunes within five minutes of its release, and reached No. 1 at iTunes in more than 90 countries, went on to easily break the Weekly Global Spotify streaming record with more than 41 million streams, reaching 100 million Global streams in less than one month out. This week, Bieber premiered the tracks The Feeling and Love Yourself; the former features indie breakout pop singer Halsey and the latter was co-written with Ed Sheeran.
With the launch of the iTunes pre-order last month, Purpose skyrocketed to No. 1 on the iTunes Top Album chart in over 90 countries worldwide. At the same time, pre-orders are flooding in for Purpose signed CDs, vinyl and other limited edition items, exclusively via Justin’s online store. Go to http://smarturl.it/JustinShop.
