Over the years, he has shared parts of his life with fans through social media, showing both his career and his life at home.
Coachella 2026
When Justin Bieber was announced as a 2026 Coachella headliner, fans were excited—but also a little unsure. It would be his biggest performance in years after canceling his Justice tour in 2022 due to health issues. Since then, he’s stayed out of the spotlight to focus on being a dad, released Swag, and played a few small shows. But the big question was: could he handle a huge stage like this?
When he finally appeared on stage, the crowd started screaming right away. He kept it calm at first, starting with more chill and emotional music instead of his big, old hits. It felt like he was easing into the show. Fans were really really excited and you could tell they were all waiting for his old hits.
Justin Bieber performed some of his newer songs first before going into the old hits that made him famous. Once he was done singing his new songs, he scrolled through his old music on YouTube and then played his old songs, which surprised everyone. The crowd went crazy, fans were jumping and cheering, excited to hear the songs they grew up with.
Songs Bieber Played
He played so many songs but the crowd got more hyped when they heard a slit beat of his old hits. Bieber played Baby, Favorite Girl, That Should Be Me, Beauty and a Beat, Never Say Never, Confident, All That Matters, With You, So Sick, Where Are Ü Now, Stay, Sorry, and I’m the One.
When “Baby” came on, I felt like my TV was about to explode because of all the excitement, screams, and energy. It’s like the whole crowd just lost it at once. People were jumping, singing every word at the top of their lungs, and the vibe instantly turned into pure chaos in the best way. It felt like everyone got hit with a wave of nostalgia at the same time, and you could almost feel the hype through the screen.
My Personal Favorites
I’m a big fan of Justin Bieber, so I honestly enjoy all of his songs, but I definitely have favorites. “Baby” and “Sorry” have always been at the top for me ever since I first started listening to him. When he performed them, I was literally screaming and jumping. I also really like “Company,” “What Do You Mean?,” “Where Are Ü Now,” “Maria,” “Beauty and a Beat,” “Never Say Never,” and “That Should Be Me.”
