Tour Notes:
Justin Bieber’s Purpose world tour, in support of the artist’s fourth studio album by the same name, launched March 9, 2016 and wrapped up with a July 2 show in London. While shows slated for late summer and fall, 2017, were canceled for “unforeseen circumstances,” including a final swing through North America and a few shows in the Far East, the tour still racked up an impressive cumulative total show dates (150), crowds (2.78 million attendees) and ticket gross ($256.4 million).
