Justin Bieber Scheduled For 42-Date North America Tour

Justin Bieber Scheduled For 42-Date North America Tour

The cool thing about stars like Justin Bieber is they are always in the "news." Or at least if you Google their name you'll always find that they are the topic of oodles of "news" stories.

Now, these aren't actually "news" stories. Most are nothing more than poorly written fluff pieces. But that's what you get when you mix an über popular teen sensation like Bieber with the ubiquitous tween-friendly internet.

Karl Rove, Jack Welch, and Meryl Streep are much more famous than Bieber, but their fan base generally doesn't scour the internet to see what they got for their birthdays or who they think is super rad cute.

I Googled Bieber's name and here are the headlines that just popped up (all published on the same day):
Justin Bieber Discusses Career Backup Plan On 'Tonight Show'
Twitter Petition Urges Justin Bieber To Dedicate Song To April Phann
Justin Bieber Flirts With Chelsea Handler, Wants To Woo Kim Kardashian

Justin Bieber Or Tim Urban: Who Has The Better Hair Swoosh?
Justin Bieber To Appear On 'SNL'
Justin Bieber Hearts McQueen, But Didn’t Know He Died

That's an impressive slew of headlines for a teenager from Canada. Think of what the internet will look like after he launches his North American "world" tour?

Bieber hits the road June 23 in Hartford, Connecticut for the first of his lengthy 42-date tour. That' an ambitious itinerary for a kid that's only been legally able to drive for a month.

Not only is his schedule impressive but so are the venues where he's scheduled to perform. He's taking the stage in arenas, theaters, and gardens that elude the routing of accomplished veteran artists.

On July 20, Bieber performs at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

On July 24, Bieber is set to take the stage at the Planet Hollywood Theatre for the Performing Arts in Las Vegas.

Then, on August 31, Bieber plays the mother of all arenas, Madison Square Garden in New York City.

"I want to show that I love to perform. There are going to be some cool tricks, some electronic things that haven't been seen before, for sure," says Justin.

Additionally, the bubble gum crooner plays the Rose Garden in Portland, Oregon; the Amway Arena in Orlando, Florida; and the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario.

The Bieber experience concludes Sept. 4 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

Joining Bieber for the "What I Did On My Summer Vacation Tour" is reggae rapper and singer Sean Kingston, 20.

Actually, Bieber has named his upcoming concert series "My World Tour" (although it never leaves North America).
