Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry planned to play 12 shows across Europe this coming October and then head to Canada and the US to play 17 shows in 2023, including stops in Washington DC, Toronto, Los Angeles, and New York. These north American dates would have been their first in over a decade, their only performance on the continent coming at 2013’s Coachella festival when they were on tour supporting their eighth album, Anastasis.

The band last played in Europe in the spring of 2019, playing a triumphant sold-out two-legged European tour, which ended with a spectacular show at Athens’ beautiful Odeon of Herodes Atticus Amphitheatre. The pair had initially wanted to return to tour the US and Canada sooner, but the pandemic forced them to change their plans. The ‘Celebration of Life & Works 1980 -2021’ tours were meant to celebrate the Aussies’ three-decade discography. The set list included “The Host Of Seraphim”, “The Carnival Is Over”, and “Yulunga”, some of their most famous and loved songs, up to tracks from 2018’s Dionysus.

Dead Can Dance got its start in Melbourne, forming in 1981. The following year, they moved to London. Through the years, their music has been categorised variously as, Neoclassical dark wave, world, ambient, art rock, avant-garde, gothic rock and post-punk. After splitting up in 1998, they temporarily got back together in 2005 for a global tour and then reformed in 2011 to promote their new album Anastasis.

Their eponymous debut album was released in 1981, All Music saying it was “as goth as it gets”. Their albums weren’t widely available till the early 90s, when their label 4AD made a distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records. The band’s sixth album, Into the Labyrinth, sold 500,000 copies, making them 4AD’s best-selling act. The pairs concerts are legendary, and many songs were only performed live, leading to a healthy bootleg economy. The duo has released two live albums, 1998’s Toward the Within, which had chart success, and 2013’s In Concert. As of now, no other information has been provided about plans to reschedule the 2022 and 2023 dates.

Justin Drew Bieber is a Canadian singer who rose to fame at the age of 13 when Scooter Braun discovered him by accident on Youtube whilst searching for another music artist. Justin Bieber was then signed to Braun’s and US singer Usher’s joint venture Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG). Usher also became Bieber’s musical mentor and he released his debut album My World 2.0 in 2010 following his EP My World released in 2009. The singer’s My World 2.0 album received a posiitve reception and charted at number 1 in the US Billboard 200 Album Charts. Bieber has also had 7 UK number 1 singles in the UK Official Singles Charts.

The album spawned debut hit single “Baby” and the singer continued his successful run with solo releases and collaborative work with various artists. Bieber is known for hit singles “You’re All That Matters To Me”, “Where Are You Now”, (Featuring Skrillex and Diplo) “Holy” (Featuring Chance The Rapper) and his recent single release “Peaches” (Featuring Daniel Caesar and Giveon) which reached number 1 in the US Charts and has gained 2.5 million streams to date. Both singles “Holy” and “Peaches” are from the singer’s eighth number 1 smash hit US album and number 2 UK album Justice. The singer has named his upcoming tour after his latest smash hit album.

Bieber’s world tour announcement comes after he recently announced the North America leg of his tour that will include a 52-day stint of performances and is due to kick off in February 2022. The singer’s Justice World Tour will be his first tour since his 2016/ 2017 Purpose Tour named after his album Purpose released in 2015. The upcoming tour had to be rescheduled due to the Covid 19 Pandemic. Bieber expressed his delight of his upcoming tour following his live stream Los Angeles New Years concert in 2020  and said “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”

The singer’s first UK date will be on February 8th 2023 and will run for six days with European dates before and after the UK leg of his global tour. Bieber’s tour is expected to sell out in record time due to his album Justice being deemed the most-streamed album in 117 countries. Bieber will be performing as a digital avatar during a virtual gig on November 18th and released his Justice: The Complete Edition album in October with three additional singles. This will be seen as a musical treat, for the singer’s followers who will be waiting in anticipation for him to reach their shores during his Justice World Tour.
