Justin Bieber has confirmed that he will be headlining a festival in Birmingham this August, his first appearance on a British stage since his ill-fated 2013 tour.
Bieber is to perform at Fusion festival held in the city’s Cofton park.
The singer’s 2013 London concert started so late that some fans were left stranded and others were forced to go home shortly after it began, it was reported at the time.
Another show was disrupted when Bieber left the stage mid-song after complaining of being short of breath.
The Baby hitmaker also had to explain himself after he lashed out at a photographer following what he said had been a “rough week” for him.
On Twitter, the 21-year-old later claimed he had “let the paps get the best of me”.
But it seems Bieber has now made his peace with the UK.
In a statement the singer said: “I love the UK and I’m really excited to be playing at Fusion this year. There are some great artists on the line-up so to be headlining the Friday night is a real honour.”
Tinie Tempah, Rudimental and Ella Henderson also perform, with Bieber headlining the Friday night slot.
