Sunrise coping with Justin Bieber frenzy
Canadian kid Justin Bieber is so wildly popular that Sunrise has had to abandon its initial concert plans and secure a bigger venue.

Hang on to your tweens Australia, Justin Bieber isn’t just coming to our shores this Saturday, he’s practically taking over.
The Canadian kid who is perpetually trending #1 on Twitter is performing on Sunrise, but producers have had to relocate his concert to meet his popularity.
Now instead of the ‘Brekky Central Plaza’ he will be performing at the Overseas Passenger Terminal at Sydney’s Circular Quay on Monday April 26th.
In his only Australian public performance, Bieber will be performing three songs from his new album including the hit single “Baby”. He will also be interviewed by Kochie and will meet fans and sign copies of his new album My Worlds – but only for a limited time.
Sunrise Producer Adam Boland says “This will be as big as it gets. We are over the moon Justin chose Sunrise for this gig. Bring it on.”
Bieber has already generated more traffic on the show’s own Twitter than any other event.
Last October when he performed at the Rockefeller Plaza in New York some fans started lining up the prior afternoon. Seriously dedicated. And with a public holiday next week it’s bound to be huge.
Get some sleep kids. Sunrise starts at 6am.
(with apologies to the Jonas Brothers)

Yeah go elise… you guys are just jealous .. get a life :S
You people suck. He is more talented and hot than you will ever be. 🙂 Smack On That.
Two Words… Today Show!
Who’s the support act? Kochie playing the spoons?
Oh no, today show here i come
How many people do they approx. there will be?
thanks
hmm – Anzac Day is on the 25th of April! Monday is the public holiday for it.
I must have missed this one. Who exactly is he ? I guess in a few months it won’t matter.
Another fine effort by David Koch as well. Although it does not top him jumping into the ambulance outside the Beaconsfield mine.
So once again, News and Current Affairs take a back seat on Sunrise.
Take Nat and the “news” desk away, change the timeslot, and Seven have a Variety show on their hands at no extra cost.
The Tonight Show with Kochie…..
who??
Oh Canada….so many brilliant and talented musicians come from the Great White North, and this is who you send us????!
another jesse mccartney.
he had a hit song ‘beautiful soul’
all the girls were gaga over him and loved him
where is he now??
I just got back from New Zealand last week & this little twink is everywhere there too, that Baby song is all over radio & the press are in a frenzy as he’s coming to New Zealand.
I pity the poor parents who will be taking their little darlings along & have to sit through hours of high pitched screaming.
@Alan – dawn service will be on ANZAC Day, Sunday 25, not the public holiday, Monday 26.
I remember watching this kid on YouTube years ago. I think I got a random friend invite or something. he’s come a long way – good on him!
I wonder if Barry O’Farrell will try and meet Justin as Barry apparently is a big fan of the little person. Barry must really want to the youth vote.
why on ANZAC Day? People should be flocking to the dawn service, not a Justin Beiber concert!
When i first heard him i thought he was an 8 year old girl. 🙂
Now that is huge, hosting a Sunrise concert at Sydney’s Overseas Passenger Terminal for the first time. Melbourne radio station 3AW has been hosting a competition to find the craziest Justin Bieber fan (it closes on April 20). The winner and his/her parent will fly to Sydney to see the concert and meet him backstage.
Who? Never heard of him!
Glad that my tweens have more taste!! Now if Michael Buble comes out here again I’m in real trouble!!
It baffles me that this kid is practically *always* trending… I did see him on SNL and he’s a good sport, so good luck to him.
I think only teenage girls would be going crazy over Justin Bieber
If I have to hear his song one more freaking time I’m going to throw something at my television.
I didn’t know Ellen Page could sing 😉
who?…..and in 6 months…..who?
