Rumours are swirling that pop icon Justin Bieber will tour Australia following the release of his much-talked-about debut album.
The 31-year-old pop star, who just released his seventh studio album Swag to critical acclaim, is reportedly set to announce an Aussie tour soon.
The rumours began circulating this week after 6PR Perth’s Millsy and Karl mentioned the star’s much-anticipated return Down Under.
‘Rumour has it that with the release of his new album Swag, pop icon Justin Bieber will announce an Australian tour… he will make his way to Perth,’ the radio program claimed.
The speculation is unsurprising as it is standard practice for artists to to announce a new album, then tour under the same name.

However, despite the rampant rumours, Justin has not yet confirmed whether he will be touring the album, nor has Frontier Touring, who told Rolling Stone it had no information on any potential Australian tour dates.
Frontier Touring was responsible for promoting Justin’s slew of cancelled shows three years ago.
At the time, the company told Daily Mail Australia Justin was pausing his tour for health reasons.
‘We are aware that Justin Bieber has decided to take a break from touring and wish Justin a speedy recovery and admire his decision to put his health first,’ the promoter said in a statement.
The Canadian star postponed a series of concerts after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome – a rare neurological condition that left him suffering facial paralysis.
Justin revealed via social media that he’d be stepping back from touring to focus on his well-being.
‘Earlier this year, I went public about my battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partly paralysed,’ he said in an Instagram story.
‘As a result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North America leg of the Justice Tour.

‘After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me.
‘This past weekend, I performed at Rock in Rio and I gave everything I have to the people in Brazil. After getting off stage, the exhaustion overtook me and I realized I need to make my health the priority right now.
‘So I’m going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be OK, but I need time to rest and get better (sic).”
He thanked his fans for their support, saying: ‘I’ve been so proud to bring this show and our message of Justice to the world. Thank you for your prayers and support throughout all of this! I love you all passionately!’
However, the following year, Justin cancelled the tour altogether and assured fans they would all be receiving refunds for their tickets.
