Toronto concert news: Bieber postpones again, CityView Drive-In returns
If Justin Bieber is your post-COVID bellwether, we have some bad news for you By NOW Staff

Bad news if you’ve been using Justin Bieber as a bellwether for post-COVID life (as one does): his arena tour has been postponed once again.
Now, he’s rescheduled the tour once again and renamed it the Justice World Tour after the album he released in March. The new 52-date 2022 tour will hit Toronto three times: March 25, June 7 and 8.
Will the shows happen? That’s almost a year from now, so we really hope so, but even with nearly 50 per cent of Canadians getting their first jab, it’s still hard to predict a concert with a capacity in the tens of thousands. You can gamble with a ticket on sale now at Ticketmaster, starting at $94.
The second show, on July 10, will also feature Banks as well as Kiara, JuiceBoxx, Ivory Towers and Miss Fiercalicious.
Similar concerts are also scheduled to take place on August 21, September 18 and October 9, and the performers for each show will be announced in the coming weeks.
Tickets for the first two shows are already on sale and they start at $120 per car.
Ontario s current stay-at-home order, in place until at least May 19, does not allow for drive-in shows, and the potential for it to be extended means there s a chance these shows could be cancelled or postponed.
Still, the hope is that Ontario s COVID-19 situation will continue to improve, allowing for drive-in events to go ahead this summer just like last year.
