The Justice World Tour marks the Sorry singer's first global outing since 2017 and promises to be a celebration for the star's fans after the shows were initially sidelined due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The tour is named after Justin's latest smash hit album Justice, which was released in March and debuted as the most-streamed record in 117 countries and spawned hits such as Anyone and Peaches.
Bieber's duet with The Kid LAROI, Stay, was released in July and became the fastest song ever to hit a billion streams on Spotify.
The pop star live-streamed his first full performance for three years in Los Angeles on New Year's Eve 2020 and expressed his wish to reconnect with his fans around the world.
'We've been working hard to create the best show we've ever done, and we can't wait to share it with fans around the world. I'll see you soon,' Justin said.
