With a minimalist set and a trip through his musical past, pop superstar Justin Bieber returned to the stage on Saturday night to headline the second day of Coachella.<\/p>\n
The Canadian singer has not performed at a venue of Coachella’s size since 2022, when he appeared at Rock in Rio in Brazil before canceling the remainder of his international tour due to health issues.<\/p>\n
Last year Bieber released the album “Swag,” quickly followed by his eighth studio album “Swag II.”<\/p>\n
While Bieber has recently played smaller shows, Coachella was billed as the start of his full-scale comeback.<\/p>\n
Bieber earlier said in an Instagram post that “We WILL be singing at the top of our lungs on Saturday.”<\/p>\n
Dressed in a red sweater, shorts and black boots, the 32-year-old artist made good on his promise, playing the role of DJ and taking requests from online viewers.<\/p>\n
After opening with several tracks from “Swag II,” Bieber sat at a computer and began a journey into the past, searching for his videos on YouTube and singing snippets from “That Should Be Me,” “Beauty and a Beat,” “Never Say Never,” the teen pop anthem “Baby” and others hits.<\/p>\n
“This is special,” he told the crowd. “This is a night I dreamed about for a long time, so to be here is amazing.”<\/p>\n
Bieber also showed his old clips on YouTube, as well as moments captured by the ever-present cameras following him and his wife, Hailey Bieber.<\/p>\n
– Eclectic offerings –<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day, New York City rockers The Strokes took the stage and announced a new album for June, following a six-year hiatus for the band.<\/p>\n
They played anthems including “Hard to Explain,” “Reptilia,” “Last Nite” and “Someday.”<\/p>\n
Other acts in the spotlight Saturday included Nine Inch Noize — the collaboration between legendary industrial band Nine Inch Nails and German producer Boys Noize — who also have an album on the way.<\/p>\n
With dramatic lighting and intense sound, the band had fans jumping with versions of songs like “Closer,” “Heresy,” “The Warning” and “Copy of A.”<\/p>\n
The set by rising indie star Sombr featured Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins, and together they performed the rock band’s 1990s hit “1979.”<\/p>\n
With nine stages, the festival hosted a wide range of genres, including Brazil’s Luisa Sonza, influencer-turned-singer Addison Rae, Britain’s PinkPantheress, K-pop star Taemin and David Byrne, the legendary co-founder of the band Talking Heads.<\/p>\n
Coachella kicked off Friday with performances from headliner Sabrina Carpenter, Moby, Devo and surprise appearances from Lizzo, David Lee Roth and HUNTR\/X, who performed their Oscar-winning “Golden” alongside KATSEYE.<\/p>\n
Carpenter’s performance of hits like “Manchild,” “Espresso” and “Please, Please, Please” was helped by big-screen stars Sam Elliott, Susan Sarandon and Will Ferrell, who rounded out her 90-minute set.<\/p>\n
The festival runs this weekend and next weekend, with a nearly identical lineup. It can be viewed on YouTube.<\/p>\n
