Justin Bieber headlines Coachella with nostalgia-fuelled set

Justin Bieber made a nostalgia-fuelled return to the major stage as Coachella's much-anticipated headline act. The 32-year-old spent much of Saturday night's gig sitting in front of a laptop and singing to YouTube music videos of his older hits, such as Baby and Never say Never - delighting the crowd in an apparent tribute to the platform on which he was discovered. He also played some of the home videos that had brought him to the industry's attention aged 12, pulling them up on the big screen, and appeared to interact with the live comments on the YouTube stream of his set. It marked the star's biggest live show in four years, having cancelled his Justice world tour following health issues. He opened the gig alone on an otherwise empty stage, performing tracks from his 2025 albums Swag and Swag II - before telling the crowd he wanted to take them "on a journey" and reaching back into his archive. He repeatedly asked the audience: "How far back do you go?" Bieber also played the clip for which he most recently went viral - and which prompted speculation about his mental state - in which he confronted a photographer and said: "It's not clocking to you, I'm standing on business."
