Bieberchella is upon us.<\/p>\n
Justin Bieber is set to make a major concert comeback when he headlines the Coachella music festival on Saturday.<\/p>\n
During a series of Twitch streams last year, Bieber told fans he would be \u201cputting on a hell of a show.\u201d<\/p>\n
The annual festival in California\u2019s Coachella Valley will include fellow headliners Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G over two weekends.<\/p>\n
It will mark the Canadian pop star\u2019s biggest live performance since he cancelled his 2022 tour in order to deal with the health effects of his Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis.<\/p>\n
At the time, the \u201cPeaches\u201d singer shared an Instagram video showing how the condition left half of his face temporarily paralyzed. He resumed his tour that summer but pulled out again, saying in a statement the concerts \u201ctook a real toll\u201d on him.<\/p>\n
Bieber returned to the stage at February\u2019s Grammy Awards for a stripped-down performance of his single \u201cYukon,\u201d off his 2025 album \u201cSwag,\u201d which received four nods.<\/p>\n
Saturday will be Bieber\u2019s first time playing a full set at Coachella despite making guest appearances during other artists\u2019 performances, including Arianna Grande\u2019s and Tems\u2019, over the years.<\/p>\n
The only other Canadian playing the festival this year is Juno-winning producer Rezz, known for crafting dark and grungy EDM hits.<\/p>\n
Those who can\u2019t make it out to the desert will be able to livestream Coachella from the festival\u2019s official YouTube channel. But fans hoping to catch Bieber may need to sacrifice some sleep: his set kicks off at 11:25 p.m. PST, or 2:25 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n
Bieber indicated during his Twitch streams that his Coachella set would largely draw on his recent back-to-back albums, \u201cSwag\u201d and \u201cSwag II.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m probably going to do both projects and merge some of the old songs where I can,\u201d said the Stratford, Ont.-raised singer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t performed the new songs yet, so I\u2019m super excited.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bieber performed an intimate concert at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles \u2014 his first full concert in nearly four years \u2014 on March 29, the same night as the Juno Awards, where he was up for six trophies.<\/p>\n
While 2025 was a successful year for Bieber musically, he seemingly faced some personal challenges as well. He addressed some of them in an Instagram post in June.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople keep telling me to heal. Don\u2019t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?\u201d Bieber wrote to his 291 million followers. \u201cI know I\u2019m broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bieber added the situation \u201cjust keeps making me more tired and more angry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The post came after video emerged of Bieber getting into an altercation with paparazzi outside SoHo House in Malibu, Calif.<\/p>\n
The clip shows Bieber telling photographers to stop provoking him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a real man with a real family,\u201d he said, referencing his son Jack Blues with wife Hailey Bieber. \u201cAnd you\u2019re really in front of my face.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not clocking to you that I\u2019m standing on business, is it?\u201d Bieber continued. \u201cI\u2019m a human being. You\u2019re standing around my car, at the beach.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bieber eventually repurposed audio from the incident for \u201cStanding on Business,\u201d an aptly titled skit on \u201cSwag\u201d featuring comedian Druski.<\/p>\n
