Justin Bieber is set to make his biggest live performance return at Coachella 2026 after stepping away from touring in 2022 because of health issues.
Bieber ended his 2022 tour after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which left one side of his face temporarily paralysed. Last year, he said the idea of touring again felt “super daunting”, but recently told fans on Twitch he was preparing “a hell of a show” for Coachella.
The festival in Coachella Valley is expected to draw around 125,000 people a day across two sold-out weekends.
Other major performers include Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, David Byrne, and Addison Rae.
Carpenter said her headlining performance would be the “most ambitious” show she has ever staged.
Karol G will become Coachella’s first Latina headliner on Sunday. She recently said she had been warned not to make anti-ICE comments because of concerns it could affect her visa.
The festival will also mark the return of The xx, which is performing at a major festival for the first time in eight years, ahead of its first album since 2017.
Meanwhile, Jack White has been added to the line-up, while Lambrini Girls and Katseye member Manon will miss the festival because of health issues.
