Justin Bieber Set for Coachella Headline Return
Justin Bieber is preparing to return to the Coachella stage this weekend, with the singer scheduled to headline the festival on Saturday, 11 April, and again on 18 April for weekend two. The appearance marks a major live moment for the Canadian pop star, with attention building in the run-up to his set as fans revisit his past festival performances and sightings with wife Hailey Bieber.
Daily Mail reported that last-minute resale demand increased after footage of Bieber’s Coachella stage rehearsal surfaced on social media, including a TikTok clip showing him practising songs such as “Boyfriend” and “Sorry”.
The outlet also said Bieber has been running through older tracks during soundchecks, and noted claims that general admission resale tickets have recently been listed at around $4,000 after originally starting at $649 when the headlining slot was announced. The report added that Bieber was described as the highest-paid act in Coachella history when the 2026 bill was revealed.
In recent years, Bieber and Ms Hailey Bieber have been regular festival attendees, including a 2024 surprise on-stage appearance alongside Tems and WizKid to perform “Essence”, and a 2022 moment when he joined Daniel Caesar on stage. Britpop News has also covered how a reported Coachella setlist leak divided fans ahead of the headline shows.
With weekend one underway, Bieber’s two headline dates are now among the festival’s most closely watched performances, as organisers and fans await what songs he will ultimately choose for his return to the desert stage.
