Update on October 7:
Canadian popstar Justin Bieber has postponed the rest of his tour dates, including his gig at Singapore’s National Stadium this October 25. In a social media post, show promoter AEG Presents Asia announced that the shows will be moved to 2023. More details will be announced at a later date.
Bieber’s Asia leg of his Justice World Tour was supposed to kick off in Kuala Lumpur on October 22. He was then going to perform in Singapore on October 25 before moving on to the Philippines, Jakarta, Bangkok and Japan.
“Justin Bieber today announced that the remaining dates of his world tour are being postponed,” organiser AEG Presents Asia wrote. “Fans with tickets to all postponed World Tour dates should await further news on dates, venues and cities as updates become available.”
According to local organiser Unusual Entertainment, the venue will remain at the National Stadium. However, those who wish to request for a full refund can do so via ticketing agency Ticketmaster.
Back in June, the popstar announced that his North American leg of his tour had to be postponed due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a complication of shingles that caused him partial facial paralysis. He resumed the tour in July with the last stop at Rock in Rio, before postponing the subsequent dates.
He resumed the tour in July and played six shows in Europe as well as the Rock in Rio festival in Brazil in September before postponing the subsequent dates – including the Asia leg.
The singer had previously cancelled a Singapore show, also at the National Stadium back in 2017, due to “unforeseen circumstances.”

Beliebers, popstar Justin Bieber is set to return to Singapore and perform at the National Stadium this October 25.
Organiser AEG Presents Asia announced the gig via Instagram on April 19, leaving fans in hysterics. The concert is part of Bieber’s Justice World Tour, which includes concerts in other Asian cities like Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Osaka, and Tokyo. The chart-topper will be singing songs from his latest album including hits like Peaches and Ghost.
Priced at $108, $148, $198, $248, $298 and $348, tickets will go on sale on Ticketmaster on April 21, 10am. You can also snag tickets by telephone at 3158-8588, as well as at all Singpost outlets.
Bieber’s event is one of Singapore’s biggest upcoming concerts following the ease of Covid-19 regulations. With the latest current Covid-19 guidelines, the capacity limit for events over 1,000 people with masks on has been increased to 75 percent. Before the pandemic, the National Stadium could seat up to 55,000 people. While concerts do not require a pre-event Covid-19 test, attendees still need to show proof of vaccination to gain entry.
Bieber’s last performance in Singapore was in 2011, at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. He also performed in 2013 at the Padang for a post-Singapore Grand Prix concert. He was scheduled to return to Singapore in 2017 but was cancelled due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
