Scooped Here First: Justin Bieber Tour 2020, then 2021, Now Set for February 2022 Downsized Opening (Maybe)

Share

Here we go again.

Justin Bieber’s 2020 tour was scrapped, then his 2021 tour was postponed. Now new dates are set for starting February 2022.

I told you exclusively AND FIRST that the 2021 tour was goners. Other outlets picked it up later and claimed the scoop. But it came from this column.

What no one is getting is that the first two tours weren’t just canceled because of the pandemic. Ticket sales were anemic. There was no buzz. We’ll see what happens this time around.

The 2020 tour was downsized to smaller venues well before the pandemic interfered. You’ll notice the routing has been changed here. The four NYC area dates have been broken up, so Brooklyn and New Jersey are preceding MSG by a couple of months.

Bieber released two new albums, “Changes” and “Justice,” to promote those original tours. The albums will be well out of date and off the radio by February. How will Scooter Braun deal with that? Release new tracks? Deluxe albums? More singles? Even “Peaches” will be rotten by then!
