A statement published by the Stormers has revealed that they will play some of their upcoming home United Rugby Championship games at Stellenbosch University and Gqeberha.
This is due to some of the URC champions' home games clashing with pre-booked events at their Cape Town Stadium home.
In the Justin Bieber concert's defence, the Stormers mentioned that it requires significant construction within the stadium.

"While every effort was made to avoid these clashes, the events at DHL Stadium had been booked up to a year in advance," the Cape Town-based side revealed.
The Cape Town Sevens also mean that the champions will be playing home games on the road.
The URC Round 9 clash with Welsh outfit The Dragons will be played at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium.
