Justin Bieber to Headline Coachella's Main Stage: Performance Details and Livestream Information
Justin Bieber is set to headline the main Coachella Stage on Saturday, April 11, starting at 11:25 p.m. PT and continuing until 12:55 a.m. This performance will serve as the late-night headliner for the first weekend of the festival. Bieber will also perform at the same time the following week on Saturday, April 18. Viewers can watch the entire set live for free on Coachella's YouTube channel, which streams coverage from seven stages across both weekends. The annual music festival takes place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
Bieber's performance on Saturday night is part of a lineup that includes Giveon at 7 p.m. and The Strokes at 9 p.m., leading up to Bieber's set on the main stage. The festival follows a three-headliner format, with Sabrina Carpenter performing on Friday and KAROL G on Sunday. The livestream begins daily at 4 p.m. PT on Coachella's YouTube channel and app, offering multi-view support for users to watch four streams simultaneously on a television without the need for a subscription or payment.
This marks Bieber's first time headlining Coachella, following a hiatus from touring due to health issues. After canceling his Justice World Tour in 2022 due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome, Bieber returned to the stage in 2026 with performances at the Grammy Awards and private shows in Los Angeles. His 2025 albums, Swag and Swag II, received critical acclaim and earned him four Grammy nominations, showcasing a musical reinvention towards R&B, synth-pop, and indie sounds.
Reports indicate that Bieber will be the highest-paid performer in Coachella's history, with a total compensation of around $10 million for both weekends. While the setlist for his Coachella performance has not been officially announced, leaked recordings from rehearsals suggest a mix of older hits like "Sorry" and "Baby" alongside newer tracks from the Swag albums. Producer Ben Winston, who worked with Bieber on his Coachella performance, mentioned that Bieber completed a successful full rehearsal and felt confident about the show.
Speculation about potential guest appearances during Bieber's set has been circulating, with fans linking him to collaborators from the Swag project and artists with similar musical styles. The anticipation for Bieber's Coachella performance is high, as it marks a significant milestone in his career and showcases his musical evolution.
