Justin Bieber is making a huge comeback and this time it’s at Coachella. The pop superstar has been announced as one of the main headliners for the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. He will be sharing the spotlight with Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. Even though he has already performed on the Coachella stage four times in the past, this will be his very first time headlining the festival. The news comes right after the surprise release of his two albums, SWAG and SWAG II, both of which were loved by fans and praised by critics.
Reports say Justin has landed a massive deal for this performance. Rolling Stone revealed that he is being paid over 10 million dollars for his two-day stage set at Coachella 2026. What makes this even more impressive is that he pulled it off without having an agent to negotiate for him. He used to be managed by Scooter Braun but the two ended things on bad terms, with a messy dispute over a loan repayment at the center of their fallout.
His recent music run has been extremely successful. Not only have his latest tracks topped global charts, but they have also brought millions of streams and views across platforms. Fans have even gone back to his older hits, sending them up the charts again. Personal touches in his songs, including references to his wife Hailey Bieber and his son Jack Blues, have made the music connect more deeply with audiences. At the beginning of the year, Justin was rumored to be struggling financially and even called “broke” by many, but this streak of success seems to have turned things around completely.
The Coachella performance will also be very special for another reason. It will be Justin Bieber’s first live show in the United States in over four years. His Justice World Tour in 2022 was delayed and eventually canceled, leaving fans disappointed, so this comeback has been long awaited. Apart from him, Coachella 2026 will also host a huge lineup including Young Thug, Addison Rae, FKA Twigs, BIGBANG, KATSEYE, SHINee’s Taemin, BINI, Sombr, Swae Lee, Iggy Pop, Major Lazer, Green Velvet, PinkPantheress, Central Cee, Armand Van Buuren x Adam Beyer, Giveon, Labrinth, Dijon and many more. Fans are already calling this one of the most exciting Coachella lineups in years.
