Justin Bieber to Headline Festival Tonight

Justin Bieber headlined the second day of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 11, 2026. The performance marked Bieber’s first time headlining the festival, following previous appearances as a special guest.

Bieber took the Coachella Stage at 11:25 p.m. PDT on April 11. This appearance followed a period of hiatus from live performing and an emotional appearance at the 2026 Grammy Awards on April 3, 2026.

Saturday Lineup and Performances

The second day of the festival featured a variety of artists across multiple stages at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The Strokes performed on the Coachella Stage at 9 p.m. PDT, preceding Bieber’s closing set.

Other notable performances on April 11 included:

• Jack White, who played an intimate afternoon set in the Mojave Tent at 3 p.m. PDT.
• Addison Rae, who performed on the Coachella Stage at 5:30 p.m. PDT.
• Nine Inch Noize, a collaboration between Nine Inch Nails and producer Boys Noize, which performed at the Sahara Tent at 8 p.m. PDT.
• Additional performers including Labrinth, David Byrne, Geese, Giveon, Morat, and PinkPantheress.

The Nine Inch Noize set was described as a revamp of industrial rock for a rave environment, stripping away guitars to focus on techno and synth noise, mirroring segments from the Nine Inch Nails Peel It Back tour.

Festival Context and Programming

The 2026 festival is structured across two weekends, spanning April 10–12 and April 17–19. Justin Bieber is scheduled to headline again during the second weekend on April 18.

The opening day on April 10 was headlined by Sabrina Carpenter. Her appearance included the debut of Sabrina’s Pit Stop, a pop-up experience created with Airbnb located at 82338 CA-111. The installation featured merchandise, custom slushie stations, and photo-themed displays.

Friday’s programming also included performances by Teddy Swims, who was joined by Joe Jonas, as well as The xx, Disclosure, Lykke Li, Joyce Manor, Moby, Swae Lee, and Katseye. The evening also featured a monologue by Susan Sarandon and a comedic bit by Will Ferrell during Carpenter’s set.

The first weekend of the festival concludes on April 12, 2026, with a headlining performance by Karol G, who is the first Latina to headline the event.

Ahead of the performance, a rumored setlist circulated via Love Island USA star Nic Vansteenberghe on Threads. The alleged list of songs included Sorry, Beauty and a Beat, One Less Lonely Girl, and a cover of Ne-Yo’s So Sick.
