"I’m putting on a hell of a show for you guys for Coachella, getting ready, and getting inspired."

According to a Rolling Stone report dated September 16, 2025, Justin Bieber reportedly received a seven-figure deal for his headlining act at Coachella without the help of any agency. The rumored pay is believed to be $10 million ($5 million for each set).

A source told the publication that Bieber's Coachella performance will be a "once-in-a-generation spectacle from a once-in-a-generation pop icon," adding:

“It’s a groundbreaking move for a headliner, and it’s something he built entirely on his own. 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."

While Bieber's set list for Coachella is unclear, fans can expect songs from his latest two-part albums, SWAG (released in July 2025) and SWAG II (released in September 2025). Both albums were released with minimal promotion and were announced just one day before their respective release date.

The first album had a black and white aesthetic, containing a 21-song tracklist which included features from Cash Cobain, Sexyy Red, Dijon, Druski, Eddie Benjamin, Gunna, and Lil B. The album debuted atop Billboard's Top R&B Albums and snagged No. 2 on Billboard 200 the week after its release.
