The World Tour 2021 (formerly Changes Tour) is the upcoming fourth concert tour by Justin Bieber, in promotion of his fifth studio album, Changes. The tour was set to begin on May 14, 2020, in Seattle, but the tour was postponed amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Every date will be rescheduled.
Background[edit | edit source]
During the last quarter of 2019, especially in December, Justin Bieber started teasing his musical comeback via his social media. On December 20, Bieber tweeted that something was going to happen on the December 24 and 31, 2019, as well as on January 3 and 4, 2020. On the first of these four dates, he released a video on YouTube where he announced that he would release his fifth album during 2020, its first single "Yummy" on January 3, and the first round of dates for his new world tour.
Jaden and Kehlani were originally meant to support the tour as opening acts, but it was announced on Bieber's official website via the touring section that they would no longer be playing on the tour due to new opening act support being added later on.
Justin Bieber will be backed by Canadian Psychedelic Rock band Rhythm Light Orchestra (occasionally known as The Storm) for the upcoming tour.
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", while Variety and Billboard reported it was due to low ticket sales.
On April 1, 2020, it was announced the tour will be postponed amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
