Justin Bieber has fans asking “What do you mean?” after a cryptic website update suggests a tour announcement could be coming.

Over the weekend, the tour section of the Canadian pop star’s site was quietly refreshed noting no current shows and prompting fans to RSVP “to be notified when new tour dates are announced.”

Bieber returned to the Coachella stage on Saturday for his second headlining set, bringing out special guests including SZA and even pulling Billie Eilish onstage to be serenaded during “One Less Lonely Girl.”

The singer ended his performance telling the audience “I’ll see y’all soon,” further fueling speculation that he could be hitting the road.

Bieber cancelled his last tour in 2022 in order to deal with the health effects of his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis. At the time, the “Daisies” singer shared an Instagram video showing how the condition left half of his face temporarily paralyzed. 

During a Twitch stream last fall, the singer said the idea of touring at this point in his life “sounds super daunting” and that he was focused on Coachella, which marked his biggest live performances since canceling his tour.

“I always start out really loving it, and then it always gets to a point where I’m just super burned out,” Bieber said.

He added that wants to be more selective about the performances he does from now on.

“And so, like, I think at this point in my life, I really want to do spot dates, where I just pick maybe a city and do a couple shows, and not commit to a whole two-year run; That’s usually what it is, is like, for a year and a half, two years,” he said.

Bieber returned to the stage at February’s Grammy Awards for a stripped-down performance of his single “Yukon,” off his 2025 album “Swag,” which got four nods.

His Coachella performances this month have been generally well received. 

Following his career-spanning set on April 11, the pop star saw a massive steaming surge, reaching No. 1 on Spotify’s global top artist chart and sending 21 of his songs into the streaming platform’s global top 200.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 20, 2026.

American Hostage stars recall warmth of Winnipeggers during brutal winter

Randall King 7 minute read Friday, Sep. 18, 2026

TORONTO — When you stream the eight-part series American Hostage, a sense of familiarity may strike.

That’s because the show was shot in Winnipeg — especially in the Exchange District — from November of last year to the beginning of February, with Winnipeg portraying Indianapolis circa 1977.

The whole world seemed to be watching that midwest American city that year as a hostage crisis unfolded involving one Tony Kiritsis, an angry man who goes ballistic when a mortgage brokerage was poised to foreclose on property he had dreamed of developing into a shopping centre.

Kiritsis kidnapped his mortgage broker, Richard Hall, wiring a shotgun to the back of his head, and demanded a public airing of his grievances, with the reluctant help of popular radio broadcaster Fred Heckman.

New Jets show promise despite loss to experienced Oilers

Preseason hockey games are always more about the process than the result, and that’s especially true when the opposing rosters appear to be a major mismatch on paper.

So a 5-2 loss by an inexperienced group of Winnipeg Jets skaters against a star-studded Edmonton Oilers squad on Saturday night in the Alberta capital was neither surprising nor alarming.

There was, however, plenty to like from the visitors’ perspective despite the outcome.

Let’s break it down.

Hellebuyck standoff caused by… Nathan MacKinnon?

Looking for someone to blame in the Connor Hellebuyck fiasco and cast as public enemy No. 1? How about long-time Winnipeg Jets nemesis Nathan MacKinnon?

Allow us to explain as we fire up the time machine and head back to February in Italy.

Oh, what could have been if MacKinnon had been able to score on what appeared to be an open net late in the third period of the men’s gold medal game with Hellebuyck down and seemingly out of position.

Instead, the star forward fired wide, keeping the score deadlocked at 1-1 as the clock ticked down on regulation.
