Justin Bieber makes his big comeback on stage at the Coachella festival this Sunday. The iconic singer hasn’t performed at such an event since 2022.
The “Beliebers”, nickname of his fans, celebrate the return of pop superstar Justin Bieber, headlining the second day of the Coachella music festival.
Organized in the scorching California desert, where the sun had already raised temperatures to 30 degrees on Saturday morning, thousands of fans of the Canadian singer of “Baby” descended on the site, sporting clothes, hats, and banners in the likeness of their idol. Entering the site shortly after the doors opened, Alexis Sierra (28 years old) summed up the mindset of many spectators:
“This is what I’ve been waiting for months.”
Long Absence
Justin Bieber has not performed in front of an audience the size of Coachella since 2022 when he took to the stage at Rock in Rio, Brazil, before canceling the rest of his international tour for health reasons. The singer had announced suffering from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a complication related to shingles that can cause facial paralysis.
During the past year, he has gradually made his return to the spotlight. In 2025, Justin Bieber released the album Swag. On that occasion, the star performed the single “Yukon” in underwear at the Grammy Awards in February. The release was quickly followed by Swag II, his eighth studio album.
If he has recently given more intimate concerts, Coachella should mark his return on a grand scale. He promised on Instagram this week:
“We’re going to sing at the top of our lungs on Saturday.”
Live on Youtube
Coachella started on Friday with performances by Sabrina Carpenter, Moby, and Devo, as well as surprise appearances by Lizzo, David Lee Roth, and Huntr/X, who performed their Oscar-winning song “Golden” at the Katseye side events.
The festival takes place this weekend and the next, with an almost identical lineup, and can be followed on Youtube. (btr/afp)
