Justin Bieber is set to embark on his 45-stop Changes tour in North America in May, but at least eight of the stadiums Bieber was scheduled to perform in have been replaced with smaller arenas.
Variety reported a total of eight arenas posted statements on Twitter informing fans that the tour had been moved to different venues for “unforeseen circumstances.” Bieber’s official website reflects the tour changes.
A source said the decision was a “hard” one and based on ticket sales in “softer markets.” The insider added that the tickets went on sale shortly before the coronavirus outbreaks came to light.
Tour stops affected by the stadium swap include performances in Houston, Texas; Glendale, Arizona; Dallas, Texas; Nashville, Tennessee; Columbus, Ohio; Indianapolis, Indiana; Washington, D.C.; and Detroit, Michigan.
