Fresh off his headline-making “Bieberchella” run in the desert, Justin Bieber reportedly performed a private set this week at Jeffrey Katzenberg’s ultra-exclusive WNDR conference in Montecito.
On Thursday, May 7, Puck's Dylan Byers broke the news on X, sharing a copy of the conference agenda. Held over three days at the Rosewood Miramar, the annual top-secret event is invite-only for Fortune 100 CEOs, tech founders, and Hollywood A-listers.
The 32-year-old “Peaches” singer's set went down Wednesday night, and he reportedly gave attendees permission to take photos — which is likely how images of the performance ended up circulating online, given that phones and cameras aren't normally allowed at the event. The next day, TMZ confirmed that Bieber also sat down for a Q&A with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang titled "Every Question Answered."
As for who else was in the room, Byers reported a guest list that included Oprah Winfrey, Bob Iger, James Cameron, Julia Roberts, Jason Sudeikis, Lionel Richie, Chris Rock, Trevor Noah, Nate Bargatze, YouTube CEO Neal Mohan, Alibaba's Joe Tsai, Chanel's Leena Nair, FIFA president Gianni Infantino, artist Jeff Koons, and investor Mellody Hobson.
Among those also reportedly spotted were Colossal Biosciences founder and de-extinction billionaire Ben Lamm, Palantir CEO Alex Karp, and Anduril founder Palmer Luckey, all of whom have become major figures in artificial intelligence, defense tech, and innovation.
It's been a busy spring for Bieber. His performances on April 11 and April 18 marked his first official Coachella headlining slot and made him the highest-paid Coachella performer in history at a reported $10 million per weekend. He brought out The Kid LAROI on Weekend 1, then SZA, Big Sean, Sexyy Red, Dijon, and a viral cameo from Billie Eilish on Weekend 2. His Skylrk merch capsule pulled in $15 million in sales across both weekends, while wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode World pop-up dominated the festival's earned media charts.
Coachella hasn’t been the only stage Justin’s been on this year. In February, he performed “Yukon” at the 2026 Grammys, where his July 2025 surprise album SWAG was up for Album of the Year as part of four total nominations.
What’s next is anyone’s guess. The “Sorry” hitmaker closed Weekend 2 with "See y'all soon," sending fans into a tour-speculation spiral. But during an October 2025 Twitch stream, he admitted he tends to get "super burnt out" on long tours and floated the idea of "spot dates" instead.
