Justin Bieber Revamps Coachella Set With Billie Eilish Serenade and SZA Duet

The performance marks a confident turn in his return to U.S. stages after recent cancellations.

Overview

  • Justin Bieber’s Weekend 2 headlining set Saturday, April 18 featured a surprise when he serenaded Billie Eilish with “One Less Lonely Girl,” after Hailey Bieber urged her onstage.
  • He later performed an acoustic “Snooze” with SZA and brought out Sexyy Red, Big Sean and Dijon for a mix of new Swag tracks and earlier hits.
  • The set kept his YouTube sing‑along concept, pulling up old videos to sing with his younger self, with longer clips than Weekend 1 including his “Cry Me a River” cover.
  • The pivot followed mixed online reaction to his stripped‑back first weekend, when minimal staging and a laptop onstage drew criticism from some viewers.
  • Eilish posted that she “can’t stop crying,” and her mother thanked Justin and Hailey in messages that helped the cameo spread widely on social media.
