Justin Bieber Delivers Set At Coachella Music Festival
Justin Bieber performed on the main stage at Coachella on Saturday, April 8, 2026, in Indio, California. The 32‑year‑old used a laptop and a projection of YouTube’s homepage to play early hits such as “Baby” and a 2008 cover of “With You.” The stage set was minimal, lacking typical Coachella elements such as choreographed lighting and backup dancers. Many attendees watched the livestream on YouTube, while thousands were present in the festival crowd.
The concert drew mixed reactions online. Some fans praised the nostalgic format, describing the show as “simple and legendary.” Others criticized the performance for its lack of energy and compared it to a corporate Zoom call. Commenters on social media platforms noted that the stage look was reminiscent of a livestream rather than a live entertainment event.
Coachella representatives have not issued a statement regarding the set’s design or any payment arrangements reported by music outlets. The festival will resume next weekend, with Bieber scheduled to headline the main stage again on Saturday night. No official comment has been released on whether the artist will change his stage presentation for the next performance.
