Overview
- Bieber’s headlining set, staged Saturday at Coachella, leaned on new songs and on-screen archives and split fans online and on site.
- Multiple outlets reported he will earn about $10 million for the two weekends, a sum described as unprecedented for the festival.
- He steered the show from a laptop, playing old YouTube clips and music videos, with brief vocals over hits like Baby rather than full-band renditions.
- Guests including Wizkid, Tems, The Kid LAROI, Dijon, and Mk.gee joined for collaborations alongside the new tracks.
- The performance marked a return to the main stage after his 2022 Ramsay Hunt diagnosis halted touring, and he is slated to headline again next weekend.
