Considering it was an invite-only event for fans, the concert at The Roxy was possibly Bieber's first full public concert since his 'Justice' tour, which ended in 2022. Bieber postponed and then canceled the tour due to health problems. Since then, the singer has been largely absent from the stages, apart from some private performances, such as at the wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in 2024, and some sporadic television appearances.
Last November, Bieber livestreamed a 10-song performance on Twitch, although it focused primarily on his previous material and nothing from 'Swag'. This concert marked a significant comeback for the artist, consolidating his return to the music scene.
