We said in the original news piece that it was possible we had another Justin Bieber style pop act on our hands. Young Cody Simpson from Australia, still in his early teens has amassed quite the following. 3m on Facebook and 3m on Twitter and millions of views on YouTube.

We the head honcho of teen pop Justin Bieber has offered Cody a support slot on the Believe tour and as such has been forced to delay his European tour to accomodate this huge opportunity.

Cody Simpson wrote on Twitter: “My mate Justin Bieber has offered me the chance to open for him on a lot of the upcoming Believe tour dates. This is going to force me to delay my trip to Europe and the UK in November. I am really sad that I will not see my European and UK fans… but I will be there in February and March… I have been so excited about meeting my UK and European Angels since we announced the Paradise tour and it hurts me to have to wait longer.

So the dates have been moved to February/March 2013, with the Irish date taking place in Vicar Street on Tuesday 26th February 2013. All original tickets are valid for the new date. Tickets are €17.35 inclusive of booking fee and are on sale now from Ticketmaster.ie and outlets nationwide.
