Justin Bieber

You better “belieb” it.

Canadian pop star Justin Bieber is scheduled to hold a concert at the 50,000-seater Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan province, on Sept. 30—his second time in the country—according to local show promoter MMI Live.

Tickets are priced from P1,575 for the venue’s upper boxes to P17,850 for the VIP section, and will go on sale starting July 9 (call 470-2222).

Meanwhile, the event’s sponsor, Smart, will have an earlier and exclusive ticket-selling promo on July 7 for its subscribers.

The telecommunications company is likewise teaming up with MMI Live for the Ariana Grande and “In the Mix” concerts in August.

Shuttle services will be provided, MMI Live’s Rhiza Pascua told the Inquirer.

Justin first performed in the Philippines in 2011, back when he was only 17 and singing teenybopper music. This time around, the 23-year-old recording artist is touring the world in support of his critically acclaimed fourth studio album, “Purpose,” which features a more mature dance-R&B sound, and has spawned such hits as “Sorry” and “Love Yourself.” —ALLAN POLICARPIO
