Justin Bieber was set to perform during his Justice World Tour in Delhi on 18th October 2022 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. The stadium is large enough to hold the capacity up to 1,00,000 audience for concerts. Amid the rescheduling of the world tour, a spokesperson from Book My Show, the promoter of the concert in India, said, "We are extremely disappointed to share that the ‘Justin Bieber Justice World Tour – India’ scheduled for October 18th, 2022 at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi has been cancelled owing to the singer’s health concerns.

Along with New Delhi in India, the artist has also cancelled other stops in the tour’s run-up to the India show including Chile, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, Bahrain, UAE and Israel."

"While we are deeply disappointed that we will not be able to welcome Justin Bieber to India this year on account of his health concerns, we wish him well and hope he recovers at the earliest to be back for millions of his fans in India soon. While the cancellation of the ‘Justin Bieber Justice World Tour – India’ has been dependent on factors outside of our control, what is in our hands, is your experience as a BookMyShow consumer and the transparency you expect in the resolution to this situation.

After Covid-related delays, the star kicked off his tour in March but suffered a diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome in June. The tour included 11 shows in the UK in 2023 starting in Glasgow on February 8, 2023, with shows in Aberdeen, Birmingham, Manchester and Sheffield. The illness prompted the Grammy-winning singer to postpone the U.S. leg of the tour.
