The group has yet to announce their new guest artists for the tour. The original roster of artists who include Kehlani and Jaden Smith will no longer join in the re-designed tour.

Tickets for the new shows will be on sale to the general public starting August 6. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Bieber Foundation that supports mental health awareness.

Last April 1, Bieber postponed his tour for his fifth studio album “Changes,” as reported by Billboard. The current health crisis has affected the tour's production. The tour was supposed to start on May 14 this year.

While ticket sales are moving fast in the markets, concerns about coronavirus have made many buyers afraid to go outside.

The singer has long waited to get back on the road to perform for his beloved fans. His band, dancers, and crew were “hard at work” in preparation for the concert.

The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on the music industry. Beiber’s tour was downgraded from stadiums to neighboring arenas due to “unforeseen circumstances,” as reported by Forbes.

While ticket sales are moving fast in the markets, concerns about coronavirus have made many buyers afraid to go outside. This has affected ticket sales.

According to Forbes, Bieber’s challenge now is how to fill the seats of his shows. Another challenge for him is how to correct the narrative that his tour is a “flop” due to downgraded tour shows.

Majority of artists canceled their concerts due to the COVID-19 crisis, choosing to take their concerts to the internet. Recently, Melissa Etheridge took part in an online concert to support the LGBT+ community.
