Canadian pop heartthrob Justin Bieber is bringing his "My World" tour to the FedExForum July 31.

The 16-year-old singer, who rose to fame as a YouTube phenomenon, recently released his second album My World 2.0, the followup to "My World," which went platinum in less than two months.

Reggae-rapper Sean Kingston is special guest on the program. Tickets go on sale March 27.

Four years ago, Bieber entered a local singing competition in Stratford, Ontario, and soon after his mother was posting his music videos on YouTube, which have now passed 150 million hits.

Self-taught on piano, drums, guitar, and trumpet, he's become the first solo artist ever to get four songs from a debut album — “One Time,” One Less Lonely Girl,” “Love Me,” and “Favorite Girl” — into the Top 40 and Hot 100 before the album’s release last last year.

Tickets for the show are $49.50, $39.50 and $29.50 and go on sale on March 27 at 10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster locations, ticketmaster.com, the FedExForum Box Office or by phone at (800) 745-3000. Presale tickets are available for fans at bieberfever.com.
