The 2026 Coachella lineup was unveiled on September 16, featuring Justin Bieber as one of the headliners alongside other big names in the music industry like Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. Bieber is slated to hit the stage on the Saturdays of April 11 and 18. The anticipation for his performance is palpable, with both weekends of Coachella selling out rapidly after the announcement of the star-studded lineup.
Although Justin Bieber has made surprise appearances at Coachella in the past, including joining Ariana Grande in 2019 and Tems in 2024, this will mark his first dedicated set at the prestigious festival. His Coachella preparation comes hot on the heels of the release of his critically acclaimed seventh studio album, “Swag,” which is expected to receive Grammy nominations when they are announced on November 7.
While diligently working on perfecting his Coachella performance, Bieber took a break to show support for his hometown team, the Toronto Blue Jays, at a World Series game against the Dodgers in L.A. Accompanied by his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their 14-month-old son Jack, the family also visited the Coachella grounds following the announcement. Hailey expressed her excitement for “BIEBERCHELLA” on her Instagram Stories, echoing the anticipation of fans worldwide.
