Bieber’s first stop on his Justice world tour was at the Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California, on Feb. 18. The first leg of his tour across North America will end on July 2 in Los Angeles. He’ll then heads on six additional legs across the world through March 25, 2023.
Bieber will tour a number of countries this year, including the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, Brazil, South Africa, Israel, Japan, and Australia. In 2023, he’ll also perform in the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Spain, England, Poland, and more.
Bieber’s Justice tour was originally known as the Changes tour, and it was supposed to kick off in the summer of 2020; however, due to lockdown restrictions, it was pushed back to 2021. Then, in April, Bieber announced the tour was postponed to 2022 when he finally took the stage.
According to setlist.fm, Bieber’s show in San Diego included newer hits like “Peaches” and “Lonely” off of Justice, as well as “Intentions” and “Yummy” off of Changes. Of course, he also performed older hits like 2010’s “Baby” and 2015’s “Sorry.”
According to a YouTube video captured by a fan in San Diego, Bieber dedicated his performance of his Justice song “Anyone” to his wife, Hailey Bieber. He honored her by projecting pictures of them together as a couple on screens behind him while he performed. How cute is that?
Bieber invited one of his best friends and most frequent collaborators, Jaden Smith, to open for him on tour. According to setlist.film, Smith’s performance in San Diego reportedly included his tracks “I,” “Ghost,” and “Icon.”
Bieber and Smith have been friends ever since they collaborated on the track “Never Say Never” in 2011. The two singers have since collaborated again multiple times, including on Smith’s 2020 single “Falling For You.”
Joining Jaden as an opener was Australian singer-songwriter Eddie Benjamin, who is dating Maddie Ziegler. Fun fact: He’s written on songs for major artists like Shawn Mendes and Meghan Trainor.
Bieber’s final opening act in San Diego was the Colombian singer ¿Téo? who often blends Spanish and English lyrics in his music. You can check out ¿Téo?’s latest release “In Your Body” on YouTube.
