Justin Bieber is scheduled to perform in Finland on Tuesday, August 9. This is Justin’s third gig in Finland. PDO
Canadian pop star Justin Bieber will arrive in Finland next week, Tuesday, August 9. Bieber will perform at Weekend Festival’s 10th anniversary concert in Kaisaniemi, Helsinki.
The fate of the concert was still in the balance recently, when Bieber said in June that he suffered from partial facial paralysis. The reason was Bieber’s previously diagnosed Ramsay Hunt syndrome. He had to cancel his North American shows and stay home to rest.
To the delight of Finnish fans, it was announced at the end of July that Bieber has recovered from paralysis and the tour will continue as agreed. We asked the promotion team of the Finnish concert how to prepare for the singer’s arrival.
by All Things Live Atro Anttila says that the equipment requested for Bieber’s raider, i.e. the back room, includes the following items: 875 drinks, 132 snacks, 586 “other products”, 57 fruits and 80 kilos of ice.
– In requests related to food and other products, brand loyalty and ecology are emphasized. Unfortunately, we cannot open individual products any more, says Anttila.
The organizer of the event cannot reveal whether Justin will arrive in Finland together with his wife Hailey. PDO
Bieber’s special requests include dressing rooms and dressing assistants. During the performance, several outfits may be seen.
– The technical requirements and the raiders of Bieber and other performers are of the same type as at festival gigs in general, except for the costumes, which festivals don’t often have, Anttila describes.
– Dressing rooms and dressing assistants are the most special wishes for this event. In the show, we will probably see several sets of outfits and changing accessories, he continues.
Bieber arrives in Helsinki with a huge work group of more than 100 people, which includes everyone from technology professionals to background dancers. It cannot be revealed if Bieber’s inner circle, such as wife Hailey, is involved. Hailey has been seen with her husband, for example, at his Italian gig at the end of July.
The giant concert employs more than 1,000 people on behalf of the organizer. The employees include, for example, people in charge of technology, electricians, car drivers, bar staff as well as food workers and orderlies.
– It is a big event, the construction of which started on Monday, August 1, says Anttila.
An audience of more than 20,000 people is expected.
– The event is selling out quickly.
So far, no meetings with Bieber have been arranged for fans. Bieber has given concerts in Finland twice before at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki.
Noah Cyrus had to cancel his appearance as Bieber’s sidekick. PDO
Before Bieber, Mimi Webb, Mikael Gabriel and will perform at the event in Kaisaniemi Sebastian Noto. Noah Cyrus had to cancel his performance, so the performances of other warm-up artists have been postponed to start later in the day. Bieber is supposed to start his performance at a quarter past ten in the evening.
– I can’t perform with Justin in Helsinki due to unexpected circumstances that are completely beyond my and my team’s control. I am absolutely devastated and I am so sorry that I cannot be with you. I was and am excited to be able to share my new music with you and to be able to connect with you, Noah Cyrus apologizes in the press release.
