Bieber Fever: What A Lovely Way To Burn

Pop sensation and pre-teen riot inspiration Justin Bieber isn’t wasting any of the momentum he’s generated since the November release of his debut “My World.” As the Ontario native prepares for the release of the follow up, “My World 2.0,” next week, the initial round of dates for his first North American headlining tour are revealed.

Bieber’s “My World” tour will kick off June 23 at XL Center in Hartford, Conn., with special guest Sean Kingston as support.

Authorites should prepare immediately to deal with mobs of shrieking, crying female fans through early September at places like Milwaukee’s Summerfest; Qwest Center in Omaha, Neb.; Rose Garden in Portland, Ore.; Los Angeles’ Nokia Theatre L.A. Live; Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.; BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Fla.; Indianapolis’ Conseco Fieldhouse; Air Canada Centre in Toronto and NYC’s Madison Square Garden.

Additional outbreaks of Bieber Fever are expected in the U.S. and Canadian, with exact locations to be identifed in the coming weeks.

To help cope with hysterical fans, the singer’s label, Island Def Jam, is launching a brand new Bieber Fever Fanclub Web site, a one-stop destination for “all things Justin” including exclusive access to news, updates, online tour diaries, limited edition merchandise and lots more.

Membership in the J.B. fanclub will score you a snazzy welcome package featuring must-have fan gear like a Bieber Fever wall poster, sticker pack, bracelet and membership card.

“Sweet! How do I, er, how does my daughter get in on this deal?” you ask. The only way to become a member as of now is through a special ticket presale that kicks off March 18. General ticket sales for most dates begin March 27. Complete details on the tour and the Bieber Fever fanclub are available – where else? – BieberFever.com.
