Before heading to Hyde Park, Bieber will perform at Cardiff Principality Stadium on Friday 30 June. For both of these sensational summer shows, fans will be treated to a dynamic show with hit after hit, including ‘What Do You Mean?’, ‘Sorry’ and‘Where Are Ü Now?’ as well as treasured pop classics ‘Boyfriend’ and ‘Baby’.
Justin Bieber is in a phenomenal position having sold 10 million copies of his album Purpose. The album moved him on from being a teeny bopper and saw him noticed as a R&B star to be reckoned with thanks to on=point production and self-examining lyrics. The singer is also 2016's most streamed artist, ahead of the likes of Beyonce and Drake.
It all began for the Canadian star in 2008; Bieber flew into the spotlight after his acoustic covers were accidently spotted on YouTube by manager Scooter Braun. At just thirteen years old, he was swiftly signed to Raymond-Braun Records and closely mentored by one of the R&B greats, Usher.
Justin’s first mega-hit ‘Baby’ has now received over 1.4 billion views on YouTube. And since its release, Justin has made four UK top 10 albums. He’s sold an estimated 100 million records, making him one of the world’s best-selling music artists.
But naturally being top of the pops has had its difficult moments as Justin Bieber spoiled it for fans that wanted to see him and just scream at him while he isn't singing. He dropped the mic and walking off stage during a gig in Manchester.
"But the screaming in these breaks has got to stop. Please and thank you. "I don't think it's necessary when I'm trying to say something and you guys are screaming," he said, addressing the crowd.
"You can scream as much as you want afterwards but while I'm singing try and stay quiet."
Bieber later came back on to the stage to explain himself and finish his performance, although many in the audience had booed him when he left the stage.
He was also criticised for a lackluster show at V Festival - he'll be wanting to make amends for that at Hyde Park and in Cardiff so expect something far more extravagant.
But most of the time, the singer has been making headlines for the right reasons and has received remarkable praise for his live shows and fans have voted on Billboard this year for him as the best live pop act ahead of Drake and Beyonce.
Elsewhere, Bieber has recently swapped sunny LA for London and is renting a huge mansion, making him a local for these new show announcements
Bieber was seen settling into life in the UK by visiting a pub for lunch. His used glass of milk saw bids of over £60,000.
