Justin Bieber is making a grand return to the festival scene. After years away from major stages, he set to headline Coachella 2026. The Canadian pop superstar joins a star-studded lineup that also features Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. While Bieber has performed at Coachella four times before as a guest artist, this will mark his first solo headline performance at the iconic festival.
The 31-year-old singer is reportedly making the most of the opportunity. According to Rolling Stone, Bieber has negotiated a seven-figure deal with the festival’s promoter, Goldenvoice, reportedly valued at $10 million. He is set to earn $5 million each weekend, a payout comparable to other top headliners in recent years. Unlike many artists, Bieber secured the deal directly and will not need to share his earnings with an agency.
Fans can expect a major production and a memorable performance, as Bieber takes the Coachella stage in 2026 for the first time as a solo act, cementing his return to live music in a spectacular fashion.

The 31-year-old pop star’s Coachella performance will also be his first US concert since the Justice World Tour in 2022. Insiders say Bieber is planning a massive show, describing it as “a once-in-a-generation spectacle from a once-in-a-generation pop icon.” Fans can expect a high-energy, star-studded production that underscores his return to the live stage in full force.
