Justin Bieber has received mixed reactions online for his comeback performance at Coachella 2026.
The “Baby” singer took the stage to perform his first headlining set at the annual music festival on Saturday, April 11.
The set he performed consisted of songs from his latest albums ‘SWAG’ and ‘SWAG II’, as well as his previous hits.
Some viewers found Bieber’s performance to be a “low energy” set and called it karaoke.
However, the pop star does not care how people experience it.
A source close to Bieber said this People, “He had a great feeling about the set. He was excited to reconnect with fans in a way that felt like where he is now.”
“He’s not focused on how it’s labeled. He wanted to show up and do it his way. And that’s exactly what he did. He’s happy with how it turned out.”
During Bieber’s Saturday performance, The Kid LAROI made a guest appearance for their hit “Stay.”
The first half of the show featured “SWAG” and “SWAG II” songs and the “Nights Like This” singer’s surprise performance, while the second half featured Bieber performing his hit songs like “Baby,” “Beauty and a Beat,” Chris Brown’s “With You” and more.
Bieber closed his set with guest appearances from Tems, Dijon, Mk.gee and WizKid.
