The Purpose World Tour has predominantly featured songs from his latest album of the same name. The set list will include just a few of his older hits, including ‘Baby’ and ‘Boyfriend’, focusing instead on his new EDM-influenced LP, which features collaborators such as Skrillex and Diplo. Songs such as ‘What Do You Mean?’, ‘Get Used to It’, ‘Company’ and ‘No Pressure’ will be the highlights. Bieber is known to grab a guitar and sit on a velvet couch in the centre of the stage to perform ‘Cold Water’ and ‘Love Yourself’. There will also a couple of DJs on the decks to pump up the crowd. Bieber also takes to the drums at one point in his concerts, delivering a hard-hitting and impressive solo during his performances. The opening acts for this concert include Alan Walker, DJ Zaeden and Sartek. Fans will be treated to fireworks, confetti, lasers, graphics on big screens and gas bursts. The main stage is connected by a catwalk to a smaller secondary performance space, where Bieber is known to show off his dance moves.

A special JB Pit is being created to accommodate 350 special fans who will be up close and personal with Bieber, and a lucky few will be called onto stage during the performance. The JB Pit will give fans a 360 degree experience with underground tunnels.
