Justin announced the tour on “Ellen DeGeneres” as part of his “Bieber Week” appearance on the afternoon talk show.

Justin Bieber Scalps His Own Fans on Believe Tour Tickets

The tour is not only jammed with 58 stops all across North America. It will also take place on a tight timetable. He’ll kick off the road trip in March in Seattle and wrap in July at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

He’ll play between 10 and 15 shows a month, with a marathon sprint in April that will take him from Salt Lake City, UT, Denver and Kansas City to Cleveland and Columbus, OH. It’s a daunting stretch for any artist.

How Bieber will fare on tour is anyone’s guess. It’s been so long since he’s been on the road, there’s not telling if he has the commitment, motivation and stamina to hit every city in such a short time.

Touring takes a heavy toll on artists, and a number of top stars have collapsed and in some cases were hospitalized for exhaustion. Bieber has had his own problems on the road.

At a 2012 concert in Arizona on his “Believe Tour,” Bieber threw up on stage right in the middle of his song, “Out of Town Girl.” He sprinted off-stage after the incident, but returned after five or ten minutes and made light of the situation.

He also got into hot water for scalping tickets to his concerts, forcing fans to pay a huge mark-up for seats. His management team, and apparently, Bieber himself, split the profits. The practice is controversial, even though a number of artists do it.

Justin Bieber Goes Diva; Makes Lengthy Tour Demands

Bieber suffered another embarrassment near the end of the tour in June 2013. He forgot some of the words of his own song during a concert in San Jose, Calif. Three days earlier, he fell down some stairs backstage and suffered cuts and bruises.

In the latest incident, he walked out mid-concert at a show that was being filmed for a television special in Norway. He apparently was upset by some rowdy fans at the foot of his stage.

The singer was also forgetful on Ellen. When he announced the tour, he couldn’t remember the start date. “Oh, gosh, this was the only thing I had to remember,” he said.

Ticket pre-sales will begin on Monday (Nov. 16); general tickets go on sale Friday. The shows are expected to sell out.
