Carly Rae Jepsen To Hit The Road This Fall As Very Special Guest On Justin Bieber's "Believe" Tour Presented By AEG Live

TICKETS FOR THE FALL'S HOTTEST TOUR GO ON SALE JUNE 1ST IN CANADA AND JUNE 2ND IN THE U.S.





SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- 604 Records/Schoolboy Records/Interscope recording artist Carly Rae Jepsen will hit the road this fall with Justin Bieber as a very special guest on the multi-platinum Pop/R&B sensation's 2012 headlining tour of North America. Sure to be the hottest ticket of the fall, The "Believe" Tour, presented by AEG Live, will kick off on September 29th in Glendale, AZ, and blaze a trail through more than 45 cities before wrapping up in Miami on January 26th, 2013. General public ticket on-sales begin June 1st for Canadian residents and June 2nd for U.S. residents. Please see below for all upcoming dates.

Jepsen is currently riding high with the blockbuster success of her platinum-certified debut U.S. single "Call Me Maybe," which has sold more than two million copies and hit No. 1 on the iTunes Singles chart. Certified quadruple-platinum in Jepsen's native Canada (where it hit No. 1), the track is also an international sensation, climbing to No. 1 in the iTunes Singles charts in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Norway.

The irresistibly catchy song, which Jepsen co-wrote, has been ubiquitous this spring with the official "Call Me Maybe" video racking up more than 80 million views on VEVO, where Jepsen is this month's "Detected" artist. An unofficial video -- which Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale and other young stars filmed of themselves lip-synching and dancing to the song and posted on Big Time Rush actor and singer Carlos Pena's YouTube Channel -- has attracted more than 40 million views and has inspired other stars get in on the action. Katy Perry, actor James Franco, the Harvard Baseball team, SMU Women's Rowing team and more have all posted their own versions of "Call Me Maybe."

Since the rise of "Call Me Maybe," Jepsen has appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (introduced by Bieber), Good Morning America, The View, performed the National Anthem at a sold-out Dodgers game, and drawn thousands of fans to her first U.S. show headlining the "Music Spotlight" series at 5 Towers concert venue on Universal CityWalk. Jepsen also recently appeared at both the Billboard Music Awards and at KIIS FM's Wango Tango concert in Los Angeles.

Jepsen may be a newcomer in the U.S., but the Mission, British Columbia, native is an established artist in Canada where she placed third on the fifth season of Canadian Idol and landed a record deal with Fontana/Maple Music. She has scored two previous gold singles and received numerous awards and accolades, including 2010 Juno Award nominations for "Songwriter of the Year" and "Best New Artist" as well as a 2010 MuchMusic Video Award nomination for "UR Fave New Artist." She has sold more than 200,000 singles in her home country and is signed to 604 Records in Canada.
