Update: As of July 24, Justin Bieber has canceled all remaining dates on his Purpose world tour, including the July 29 concert in Arlington.

Mark your calendars, the Biebs is back: Justin Bieber will mount his first stadium tour across America in summer 2017, with a stop at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on July 29.

Bieber, who took home the most 2016 American Music Awards of any artist this year, is touring to support his well-received 2015 album, Purpose, on which he collaborated with other respected musicians. This tour, which has earned positive reviews from the critics, represents a second swing for the album; he toured in spring 2016 with a stop at American Airlines Center.

American Express card holders can purchase tickets before the general public beginning December 14 at 10 am local time through December 16 at 10 pm. General public tickets for both shows will go on-sale on December 17 at 10 am local time at www.aeglive.com.

VIP packages will also be offered on the upcoming tour, which — in addition to great seats — can include exclusive VIP merchandise and more.

Since the North American launch of the world tour in March, Bieber has sold out 64 U.S. and 52 international tour dates. He won four 2016 American Music Awards including Favorite Male Pop/Rock Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock Album (Purpose), Favorite Pop/Rock Song (“Love Yourself”), and Video of the Year (“Sorry”). He also joined the telecast by performing “Let Me Love You” live from his Purpose World Tour date in Bologna, Italy, marking his sixth performance on the awards show.

With a global No. 1 album release in more than 100 countries and consecutive No. 1 singles, Purpose is shattering records worldwide — including a record for having 17 songs in the Hot 100 in one week (beating The Beatles and Drake) — and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.

The 2017 tour dates just announced include:

July 29, AT&T Stadium, Arlington
August 12, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver
August 18, U.S. Bank Stadium, Minneapolis
August 23-24, MetLife Stadium East Rutherford, New Jersey
August 29, Gillette Stadium Foxborough, Massachusetts
September 5, Rogers Centre, Toronto
August 5, Rose Bowl Stadium Pasadena, California

How to catch the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson fight at AT&T Stadium Arlington

In his spare time, Jake Paul is also designing menu items for Dog Haus.

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul had to wait an extra four months for his high-profile match with 58-year-old former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.

The delay from the original plan for July was caused by Tyson having a medical episode on a plane and needing time to recover from a stomach ulcer.

But now the rescheduled bout is set for November 15 at the $1.2 billion retractable-roof home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys in Arlington. The state has sanctioned it as a pro fight with some modifications.

Here's a guide for watching the fight:

When is the Mike Tyson-Jake Paul fight?

It's hard to give an exact time for the main event Friday night, but it could approach 11 pm. The telecast starts at 7 pm Dallas time.

Is the Tyson-Paul fight free on Netflix?

While this isn't the more common, and more expensive, pay-per-view format followed by most major boxing events, it does require a Netflix subscription. Netflix reported more than 280 million subscribers worldwide at the end of the third quarter in 2024.

What are the odds on the Tyson-Paul fight?

Paul is a minus-200 betting favorite, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. That means the payout for a Paul victory would be about half the amount of any bet. The most bet prop is for Tyson to win by KO/TKO or DQ (+275), followed by Tyson to win on points (+1000) and Tyson to win in the first round (+1400).

What's the age difference between the fighters?

It's 31 years. Paul is 27.

When was Tyson's last sanctioned fight?

Tyson retired in 2005 with a record of 50-6, with 44 knockouts, after losing to Kevin McBride. He fought Roy Jones Jr. in an exhibition four years ago. Paul is 10-1 with seven knockouts against mostly undistinguished opponents. His loss was to Tommy Fury, the less-accomplished half-brother of former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.

How many rounds are scheduled for the Tyson-Paul fight?

The fight is scheduled for eight two-minute rounds, as opposed to the normal three minutes and 10 or 12 rounds for most pro fights. Tyson and Paul also will use heavier gloves with the idea of decreasing the power of punches. The gloves will be 14 ounces instead of 10. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation has said Tyson's physical condition met the criteria for the fight to proceed.

What are the purses?

According to reports, Paul will make $40 million and Tyson about $20 million. Paul did mention his number at a news conference in August.
