The festival gates opened on Friday as thousands of fans flocked to the grounds 

The xx and The Strokes are both making a comeback to the festival. 

The booking marks a major milestone for Bieber as he has never officially been billed at the festival, despite making surprise cameos during Ariana Grande, Daniel Caesar, Chance the Rapper, Tems and Wizkid’s sets.

Bieber’s most recent live performance was at the 2026 Grammys on February 1, while his last full concert took place at a private Roxy Theatre show on March 29. 

The Baby hitmaker hasn’t headlined a major tour since cancelling his 49-date Justice World Tour after coming down with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.

In agreeing to perform at the Southern California-based festival, the two-time Grammy-winner was paid more than $10 million – surpassing musical icons Beyonce and Lady Gaga as the festival’s highest-compensated artist ever. 

An insider told Rolling Stone that Bieber worked out his record Coachella payday directly with promoter Goldenvoice without the use of an agent.

‘It’s a groundbreaking move for a headliner, and it’s something he built entirely on his own,’ an insider close to the Daisies artist – who shares son Jack, one, with supermodel wife Hailey Bieber, 28 – told the outlet.

The source added, ‘Between headlining Coachella and the success of Swag, it’s clear this is the start of an exciting new era for Justin – one where he’s fully in the driver’s seat.’

Carpenter previously performed at Coachella in 2024, as her then boyfriend Barry Keoghan cheered her on from the VIP section. 

She teased that her new Coachella performance will be ‘the most ambitious show I’ve ever done’ in a recent interview with Perfect magazine.

For Karol G, it’s a long-awaited return.

The Colombian superstar made her Coachella debut in 2022, but this will be her first major set behind her new album Tropicoqueta, released in June 2025.

The milestone makes her the first Latina artist to lead the iconic Coachella stage. 

Prices for weekend passes at this year’s event ran from $549 to $1,299.
