Sunday’s postponement marked the latest for the Justice World Tour, which kicked off in San Diego on Friday after being delayed for two years due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The Las Vegas show had initially been set to take place in June 2020. It will now take place on June 28, according to officials with T-Mobile Arena.

“Justin is of course hugely disappointed, but the health and safety of his crew and fans is always his number one priority,” tour officials said Sunday. “The tour launch in San Diego was a massive success, and Justin is excited to bring this spectacular show to his Las Vegas fans as soon as possible.”

Bieber’s concert scheduled for Tuesday night at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, has also been postponed and is scheduled to take place June 30, according to arena officials. The singer is next set to take the stage at The Forum in Los Angeles on Thursday.
