Singer Justin Bieber took the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival stage again Saturday, April 18, giving fans another YouTube music video night filled with plenty of hits.<\/p>\n
Keeping up with his stripped-down, laid-back Weekend 1 set, Bieber managed to out-do himself by settling onto the stage with confidence, having fun with fans and bringing out an onslaught of guests.<\/p>\n
His Weekend 1 performance was beloved by Beliebers, questioned by non-fans and talked about by pretty much everyone. Whether you loved it or didn’t, there’s no denying it’s good to have Bieber back on stage, in his element and doing things his own way.<\/p>\n
Here’s what he brought with his Weekend 2 set.<\/p>\n

But it was so fun to see that side of him, both relaxed with thousands of people around him and looking so in his element.<\/p>\n At one point he told the audience his \u201cadrenaline is through the roof\u201d and that he might have trouble speaking because of all the people around him. But it never once led to him faltering vocally during the first act of his performance, which focused on \u201cSwag\u201d and \u201cSwag II\u201d songs. If anything, it provided another insightful moment into what it\u2019s like being a superstar, and how only some are able to be a true showman.<\/p>\n He dedicated \u201cGo Baby\u201d to his \u201cbaby girl\u201d Hailey Bieber, who he professed his love for on stage. Another humanizing moment for this larger than life figure. All these extra touches also helped boost this section and make it not feel stale compared to Weekend 1.<\/p>\n Keeping up with letting fans on a “live stream” \u2014 which we don\u2019t actually believe is real \u2014 pick a few songs they wanted him to play, that led to a bit of variety with his set list.<\/p>\n “Lyin\u2019” was one of those new ones, a soulful and upbeat love song that allowed Bieber\u2019s voice to shine. An acoustic version of “Mother In You” was also featured.<\/p>\n The section that got the most revamping, and the one attendees were eager to get to, was Bieber\u2019s YouTube singalong. \u201cOne Time\u201d got massive screams from everyone, prompting Bieber to get people to wave their hands in the air. \u201cYou guys are too lit,\u201d he said at one point.<\/p>\n \u201cOne Less Lonely Girl\u201d was a star-studded moment when Bieber was joined on stage by none other than Billie Eilish, one of his biggest fans. She was in disbelief as she got pulled up on stage, and Bieber held her in his arms and sang to her. It\u2019s not hard to imagine her reaction is the same as any other woman\u2019s in the audience. It was a throwback to their first meeting which happened in the crowd at the Coachella Stage in 2019.<\/p>\n Other songs included \u201cU Smile,\u201d \u201cUp,” \u201cBaby\u201d (which he performed last week), “As Long As You Love Me” and an older video of him singing along to Justin Timberlake\u2019s \u201cCry Me a River.\u201d He played the songs a little longer compared to last week, which delighted fans in the audience.<\/p>\n Bieber promised his fans a night with so many special guests, and he did not disappoint.<\/p>\n A new addition was Sexyy Red on a very steamy song called \u201cSweet Spot.\u201d The headliner was dancing with her and hugging, which was cute to see, even if the vocals were iffy at best on that joint effort.<\/p>\n Big Sean joined Bieber on “As Long As You Love Me,” and in addition to crooning together, the rapper shared very sweet words to the headliner. He told him he was proud of him for getting through so many difficulties in his life. Bieber, in turn, had a huge grin on his face.<\/p>\n Dijon returned for another round on “Devotion,” while SZA surprised everyone with “Snooze,” which elicited screams from everyone.<\/p>\n Sometimes headliners don’t do much for Weekend 2, but Bieber truly knocked it out of the park in every aspect.<\/p>\nJustin Bieber owns every moment of his headlining set<\/h2>\n
