Justin Bieber had the eyes of the world on him on Saturday (April 11) as he brought SWAG and more from his catalog to the Coachella stage.

These days, as fans know, getting a full-scale Bieber performance has become a rarity. His most recent outing, the Justice World Tour, initially faced pandemic-related delays before launching in early 2022. The tour was ultimately cut short, however, with Bieber citing his health.

In February of this year, Bieber delivered one of the strongest performances of the night as part of the 2026 Grammys ceremony. For the performance, Bieber, whose SWAG was up for Album of the Year, commanded an intimately delivered take on “Yukon,” a highlight from the album.

For Saturday’s Coachella set, Bieber played through his catalog with a focus on his latest album, SWAG.

He also brought out some surprises, including bringing out The Kid LAROI for “Stay” and even detouring into some of his old hits that he pulled up on a laptop via YouTube. He played his breakout hit “Baby,” “Favorite Girl” for the first time since 2013, “Beauty and the Beat” featuring Nicki Minaj, and “Never Say Never.”

Notably, Bieber sang along to his cover of “So Sick” by Ne-Yo, the first of many covers uploaded to YouTube starting in 2007 that eventually led to him getting discovered and signed.

Bieber also pulled up his infamous paparazzi video where he said, “Is it not clocking to you?” before transitioning back into the music, singing along to “I’m the One.” He appeared to get sidetracked, pulling up old memes such as “Gottem” and the classic “Double Rainbow” video.

He also brought out guests Dijon, Tems, Wizkid and Mk.gee to close out his set.
