Overview
- Bieber’s Coachella headlining set, staged Saturday, marked his first major concert since 2022 following the tour halt tied to his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis.
- He opened with material from his 2025 albums Swag and Swag II in a minimal, mostly solo setup that put his voice and a laptop at the center.
- Midway through, he pulled up early performances and music videos on YouTube, took requests from the livestream chat, and sang snippets of hits like Baby, Favorite Girl and That Should Be Me.
- The night featured surprise guests including The Kid LAROI on Stay plus Tems, Wizkid, Dijon and Mk.gee, and he closed with Daisies.
- Reaction online was split, with praise for the intimacy and criticism of the low-key production and his reported $10 million fee, and he is slated to return for Weekend Two on April 18.
