Brace yourselves Bieliebers, your favourite idol is coming to Asia later this year!
Music Management International (MMI Live) has officially confirmed that Justin Bieber will be bringing his 2017 “Purpose Tour” to Manila, Philippines, as part of his Southeast Asian leg.
The 23-year-old Canadian singer will be at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan on 30th September. Bieber previously held his “My World Tour” in Philippines 6 years ago in 2011, where he performed at the Mall of Asia Arena. He returned in December 2013 as part of a worldwide fundraising campaign for Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) victims in Tacloban.
His 4th and latest record, “Purpose”, produced hits such as “What Do You Mean?“, “Where Are Ü Now”, “Cold Water“, “Let Me Love You”, “Sorry”, and “Love Yourself” (co-written by Ed Sheeran), among others. The album not only debuted at #1 in the US Billboard 200, but it also became Bieber’s biggest first-week sales, selling over half a million copies.
