Justin Bieber’s Bonkers Tour Demands Include Backstage Jacuzzis, Helicopters and an ‘Indian Yoga Casket’
Van Halen’s brown M&Ms are peanuts compared to this sh*t.
Justin Bieber has an utterly ridiculous tour rider that put other over-privileged pop stars to shame.
Indian music journalist Arjun S Ravi recently shared the Biebs’ Purpose tour rider on Twitter, and hot damn is this guy living large.
We’re talking backstage jacuzzis, chauffered Rolls-Royces, helicopters at the ready, three floors in a five-star hotel and an “Indian Yoga Casket.” Sure is a long way from Van Halen quaintly banning brown M&Ms in their rider back in the day.

On the Mumbai stop of Bieber’s Purpose World Tour, the pop sensation is set to ball way more luxuriously than David Lee Roth ever dreamed he could.
Promoters will have a private jet and helicopter on standby to meet the “Where are U Now” singer’s travel needs in India, as well as 10 luxury sedans and two Volvo buses to tote around his 120-person entourage. Of course, Justin will personally be chauffeured around in a Rolls Royce, because why the hell not.
And that only covers his transportation. His 5-star hotel reservation blocks out three entire floors and an elevator, and his 1,000-square-foot personal luxury suite will be re-designed to his tastes. A special “Indian Yoga Casket” containing aromatic oils, incense, and yoga books will be placed in his room, you know just for laughs.
Backstage at his concert, he’ll have a Jacuzzi to unwind before his performance (presumably stocked with Indian supermodels and filled with Champagne), as well as 13 rooms a smorgasbord of his favorite treats and beverages. Sure sounds like fun.
Check out the full list below, if you have time to read a novel.

The hotels will re-design his suite and incorporate Mogul paintings, antique furniture and signature Kashmiri bedroom linen. His room will be adorned with purple carnations, purple being his favourite color! The hotel will convert itself into Bieber’s private villa with three floors of the hotel being booked for the artist and his entourage and one elevator blocked on all 4 full days for Bieber alone. A special Indian Yoga Casket containing aromatic essential oils; jasmine, mogra, rose and camphor incense sticks; and books on chakras and yoga asanas will be placed in Bieber’s suite knowing his love for Yoga. That’s not all a licensed female masseuse specially flown in from Kerala will be provided to Bieber on all 4 days. 100 hangers, cans of wildberries and vanilla room freshners, dove body wash, hydrating lip balms – these are some of the special requests being catered to in his 1000 sq ft suite.
