Purpose+Tour

After three long years of being off stage, Justin Bieber has finally returned for the kick-off of his Purpose World Tour, to show the world what he can really achieve, and most importantly, give back to the fans.

The tour consists of many flashing lights, dancing, and Bieber showing off his talents as he travels around the world to bring happiness and spread his new album, Purpose.

 

Bieber and his team have been working on putting this show together for over a year now, and their creativity didn’t fail to show throughout the concert.

 

The shows energy was brought up by two openers, Moxie Raia and Post Malone, who are both up-and-coming performers, getting major publicity through Justin’s tour. The two got the crowd on their feet and ready for the popstar himself to come out on stage and put on his show.

 

As the lights turn off, it is nothing but screams in the arena. Bieber makes his entrance by rising out of the ground in a glass “box full of emotions” as he performs his first song on his album “Mark My Words” where he literally marks his words while he writes on the walls of the box.

 

Later in the show, Bieber performed his song “I’ll show you” while surrounded by a ring of lights and wearing boxing gloves. This makes the audience focus on his lyrics to truly let his voice show and resemble all of the struggles of life that he is forced to face while in the spotlight.

 

As if the show wasn’t good enough with all of the amazing choreography dance moves, fireworks, and flashing lights, Bieber even surprised the crowd during his song “Company” and ran up onto a trampoline that lifted about thirty feet above the crowd. There, he flipped around above the crowd and took a step back to admire all of his fans.

 

To make the show truly magical and creative, Bieber performed his encore, “Sorry” to close the show and the stage literally made it rain. The team splashed around stage and thanked the crowd for all they have done.

 

But this show wasn’t just about being hyped up and dancing. Bieber slowed it down for a couple songs and sat down on a couch with just him and his guitar and serenaded the crowd to “Home to Mama” and his very popular song, “Love Yourself.” Later he sat down on the stage next to the fans as he sang “Life is Worth Living” and “Purpose.”

 

These songs in particular are very meaningful to him and his fans because they are a reminder to be constantly thankful, and to never give up no matter the struggles you are facing in life.
