Justin Bieber, Burning Man give up on 2021


This week brought more signs that the U.S. will reopen later than expected following the Covid-19 pandemic. With vaccinations not moving as fast as planned, the reopening is being pushed out of the summer and into the fall.
Pop singer Justin Bieber has canceled his world tour for the second year in a row because of the pandemic, Variety reported. It had been scheduled to start on June 2 in San Diego. Bieber will join a crush of music artists now hoping to go on tour in 2022.
Also, the Burning Man festival in Nevada has been canceled for the second straight year because of the health crisis, the Reno Gazette Journal reported. It had been scheduled for Aug. 26 to Sept. 3 in the Black Rock Desert, about two hours north of Reno.
Meanwhile, the Consumer Technology Association officially announced plans to return to Las Vegas for CES 2022 on Jan. 5-8, with media days on Jan. 3-4. The trade group canceled the in-person CES 2021 because of the pandemic and held an online show instead.
