Justin Bieber heading to Birmingham's Fusion Festival for first UK performance in two years

Justin Bieber is heading to the UK to play a summer festival in Birmingham it was announced today.

The troubled star will perform in the UK for the first time in two years when he headlines Fusion Festival in Birmingham's Cofton Park in August.

"I love the UK and I'm excited to be playing at Fusion this year," said the 21-year-old singer in a statement.

"There are some great artists on the line-up, so to be headlining the Friday night is a real honour."

The Baby singer’s last performance in the UK disappointed fans when he turned up late to London's O2 Arena meaning some young fans had to leave before the show began. During another gig he left the stage mid song after feeling “light of breath”.

He was also forced to explain his actions when he lashed out at a photographer outside a London hotel after he "let the paps get the best of me".

The three day festival will also star Tinie Tempah, Rixton, DJ Fresh, Ella Henderson, Mcbusted and Fuse ODG.
