Justin Bieber Brings 'Purpose World Tour' To Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- It's a big night in Baltimore for the "Beliebers." Pop superstar Justin Bieber will be performing at the sold-out Royal Farms Arena.

For one night only, Baltimore will become "Biebermore."

"I love him! He's just amazing," one fan said.

"Everything that he teaches, he's just really inspiring... and very attractive," said another.

Some fans traveled across state lines to catch their favorite pop star in action.

"Just seeing him on stage and everyone's just like screaming in your ears," one fan said.

The sold-out concert has put the spotlight on Royal Farms Arena.

"It boosts it tremendously," said Frank Remesch, GM, Royal Farms Arena.

Baltimore businesses are also feeling the effects of Bieber fever. Restaurants were packed and hotels were sold-out.

Royal Farms Arena has hosted an impressive lineup this year. Each time, it has boosted the city's economic impact.

"This year was an absolutely phenomenal year. Garth Brooks, Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna and now Justin. We have Maroon 5 right around the corner," said Remesch.

Concerts like the Purpose World Tour have put Baltimore on the map, hopefully attracting other artists to tour through the city.

If you missed Thursday's show, Justin Bieber will be performing in New Jersey on Saturday.

The last stop for Bieber is July 18 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
