Justin Bieber arrives in Melbourne ahead of sold-out concert

Justin Bieber has touched down at Melbourne Airport just hours before he is due to take the stage at Etihad Stadium.

The 9NEWS choppercam captured the 23-year-old, departing a private jet from Perth, and making his way into a black chauffeured SUV.

He was then driven to an undisclosed hotel in the CBD.

Around 50,000 “Beliebers” are set to overtake Etihad Stadium, at the Docklands, for the performance at 8.30pm.

A number of keen fans were spotted by 9news.com.au lingering around the venue at midday.

His Purpose Tour kicked off in the United States on March 9, and will next take the Sorry singer to Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium on March 13.
