Istanbul can now start to “beliebe” it, as teen mega star Justin Bieber finally arrived in the town to give a highly anticipated concert May 2. 

Dozens of fanatical devotees, known as “beliebers,” waited for hours at Sabiha Gökçen Airport just to catch a small glimpse of their favorite singer. 
 
Unluckily for them, it was nearly impossible to catch sight of the teen cherub. In fact, even customs officers did not see the Canadian singer at first, Doğan news agency reported. 

Bieber and a group of 13 dancers went running to a car immediately upon landing, neglecting to stamp their passports. Officers had to follow them to their car, telling them that their passports had not been checked, according to Doğan news agency. In the end, the teen star had to wait until the passports were returned by officials. 
 
The concert is set for Istanbul Technical University’s sports arena. Tickets were sold out a month ago, and a huge crowd of “beliebers” is expected to attend the concert.
