Pop superstar Justin Bieber is making a triumphant return to the stage, headlining Coachella 2026 for the first time as a solo act. Though he’s made four previous guest appearances at the iconic festival, this marks his debut as a main headliner—cementing a major moment in his comeback to live music.
$10 Million Deal and No Agent Involved
According to Rolling Stone, Bieber has signed a seven-figure deal directly with Coachella promoter Goldenvoice, reportedly earning $5 million per weekend—a total of $10 million. Notably, Bieber negotiated the contract without the help of an agent, a rare move for a headliner of his stature.
This signals a turning point for the 31-year-old artist, who recently parted ways with longtime manager Scooter Braun amid financial disputes. Industry insiders call the move “groundbreaking,” highlighting Bieber’s full control over his career moving forward.
A Major Production in the Works
The Coachella 2026 performance will be Bieber’s first U.S. concert since 2022’s Justice World Tour. Sources describe the planned show as a “once-in-a-generation spectacle,” packed with high-energy production and surprise guest appearances.
Fans can expect a setlist featuring hits from his 2021 album Justice, along with new tracks from his recently released Swag I and Swag II albums, which mark his return to the studio after a three-year hiatus.
Star-Studded Coachella Lineup
Bieber will headline April 11 and April 18, during the festival’s two-weekend run from April 10–12 and April 17–19 in Indio, California. Other performers include Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, The Strokes, BIGBANG, FKA Twigs, Iggy Pop, David Byrne, Sexyy Redd, Kaskade, and more.
With his long-awaited return, Justin Bieber is set to reclaim his place at the top of the pop world—on one of music’s biggest stages.
