Justin Bieber will celebrate New Year’s Eve virtually with his fifirst live show since 2017.

The “Lonely” singer has teamed with T- Mobile for a performanc­e that will air at 11 p. m. on Dec. 31 ( pre- show buildup begins at 10: 15 p. m.) on justinbieb­ernye.com. T- Mobile customers can gain free access to the livestream concert through the T- Mobile Tuesdays app or via the Bieber website now; otherwise, tickets are $ 25 and will be available through 3 p. m. on Jan. 1.

Bieber enjoyed a career resurgence in 2020 with a string of hits including “Holy ” ( with Chance t he Rapper), “Monster” ( with Shawn Men des) and the aforementi­oned “Lonely” ( with Benny Blanco).

Bieber’s 2020 tour was postponed — like every other major concert event this year — but he is reschedule­d to play State Farm Arena July 22- 23.

If you’d prefer to spend your New Year’s Eve with a bit more pyro and some platform boots ( and also, much earlier in the day), Kiss is also hosting its “Kiss 2020 Goodbye” concert, live from Dubai.

The band, which last played on March 10 in Texas ( its Atlanta shows have been reschedule­d for Aug. 29 at Cellairis Amphitheat­re at Lakewood ), will be held in front of a “live, COVIDsc reened and safe” audience from the Royal Beach at Atlantis Dubai.

The performanc­e will begin at 9 p.m. Dubai time on Dec. 31, which means noon EST.

Tickets to kiss2020go­odbye.com start at $ 49.99 and vault to $ 999 for a bundle that includes “exclusive and limited- edition items,” such as a Blu- ray of the concert.
