In fact, it wasn&#8217;t until the 18th song \u2014 50 minutes into the show \u2014 that Bieber finally gave OG fans what they came for: his 2010 debut single, &#8220;Baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The late-night event got off to a sleepy start, as Bieber opened with <em>Swag<\/em>\u2019s &#8220;All I Can Take&#8221; while staring down at a camera so that all we could see was a shadowy figure and the stage&#8217;s ceiling \u2014 for the entire duration of the song. Still, his voice was unmistakeable, as the Biebs&#8217; smooth stylings carried the audience through a no-frills musical journey powered by his laptop, and the energy of a few special guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Instead of interacting with the 125,000 people gathered in the Coachella Valley desert, Bieber stayed glued to his screen between songs, tailoring his setlist to the real-time feedback he claimed he was getting from an online chat somewhere.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Justin Bieber performs on the main stage at Coachella 2026<br \/>Credit: Coachella\/YouTube<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The first guest appearance was from the Kid Laroi, who popped up on stage opposite Bieber for a shortened rendition of &#8220;Stay,&#8221; their collab for the Australian rapper&#8217;s 2021 mixtape, <em>Fck Love 3: Over You.<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But just as the pace started to pick up, Bieber announced he was going to &#8220;slow it down a bit&#8221; with an acoustic set of five more <em>Swag<\/em> songs, culminating with &#8220;Everything Hallelujah,&#8221; during which the camera cut to Mrs. Bieber in the audience as her husband sang the lyric, &#8220;Hailey, babe, hallelujah \/ Baby Jack, hallelujah.&#8221; Alas, it must have been past the couple&#8217;s 19-month-old&#8217;s bedtime because Jack Bieber did not seem to be at Coachella.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Justin Bieber and the Kid Laroi at Coachella 2026Credit: Coachella\/YouTube\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"639\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/HnXy2RQMxND1foXn7zwqeg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTYzOTtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/entertainment_weekly_785\/0b8a8d695225e20a6a9b9109d989ae0e\"\/><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-0 size-full\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-3 right-3 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed bottom-0 left-0 right-0 top-0 z-4 size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p><i>Justin Bieber and the Kid Laroi at Coachella 2026<br \/>Credit: Coachella\/YouTube<\/i><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Baby&#8221; kicked off the nostalgia act of the show, for which Bieber pulled up his old music videos on YouTube and played them on a massive screen on stage while singing along like it was a Justin Bieber\u2013themed karaoke night.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">There were some sweet moments.
