Justin Bieber brought the swag to Coachella with a career-spanning set on April 11, and saw his biggest streaming numbers of 2026 the day after the performance.
The Canadian pop icon, who had never headlined the music festival before, took fans on a nostalgic journey with performances of songs including Baby, That Should Be Me, Sorry and more.
In a new report from Billboard, his music was streamed 24.6 million times in the U.S. the day after his performance, according to preliminary data from Luminate.
April 12 became his biggest day for streams since the 24.7 million listens he received on July 18, 2025, a week after the release of his surprise comeback album, Swag.
His Grammy-nominated song Yukon received the biggest boost with 1.3 million streams, up 21 per cent from 1.1 million on April 11.
Bieber gave a minimalist performance at the festival, with no backup dancers and simple lighting. At one point, he scrolled through YouTube on a laptop, taking song requests from fans, before singing along to old videos of his younger self performing Beauty and a Beat, Never Say Never, All That Matters and many more hits.
He also hit play on some funny clips, including videos of himself walking into a glass door, falling through a hole onstage, and his viral “standing on business” standoff with paparazzi.
Later on in the night, Bieber brought out a slew of special guests including Tems, WizKid, Dijon and Mk.gee, who played guitar as Bieber sang Daisies to close out the show.
