Justin Bieber's Coachella Setlist: Every Song He Performed, in Order

Justin Bieber returned to the stage in a way no one expected, transforming his Coachella set into a stripped-down, almost private jam session. The singer blended new tracks with fan favorites, creating an unconventional performance that quickly became one of the festival’s most talked-about moments.

Justin Bieber made his long-awaited return to live performance on April 11, 2026, taking the stage at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival for a 90-minute set that quickly set itself apart from anything fans had seen before. After years away from large-scale shows, the singer opted for a format that felt personal, experimental, and at times, unpredictable.

Opening With a New Era

The performance began with a clear focus on Bieber’s recent two-part album "SWAG," signaling the direction of his current sound. He opened with "All I Can Take," followed by "Speed Demon" and "First Place," easing into the set with a steady rhythm that continued through "Go Baby," "Butterflies," and "Walking Away."

Keeping the momentum, Bieber transitioned into a layered medley that combined "All The Way," "405," "Too Long," "Petting Zoo," and "I Do," before bringing out The Kid LAROI for a live rendition of "Stay." From there, he continued with "Things You Do," "Glory Voice Memo," "Zuma House," "Dotted Line," and "Everything Hallelujah," rounding out the first portion of the performance with material rooted firmly in his latest work.

A Sudden Shift in Tone

After those opening songs, the performance took a sharp and unexpected turn. Bieber sat down on a stool beside a minimalist table, his laptop placed in front of him, creating a much more stripped-back setting.

From that moment on, the show moved away from a traditional concert structure. Instead, Bieber began pulling up old music videos and checking the livestream, seemingly letting fan demand guide what came next. The atmosphere shifted into something more intimate, almost like a behind-the-scenes look at how he engages with his own catalog.

Revisiting the Hits in Real Time

With the new format in place, Bieber moved into a sequence of fan-favorite songs, starting with "Baby" and continuing through "Favorite Girl" and "That Should Be Me." He followed those with "Beauty and a Beat" and "Never Say Never," leaning into the nostalgia that many in the crowd were eager to experience.

The set continued with "Confident" and "All That Matters," before Bieber briefly stepped into cover territory with "With You" by Chris Brown and "So Sick" by Ne-Yo. These moments added to the spontaneous feel of the performance, reinforcing the sense that the set was unfolding in real time rather than following a rigid plan.

He then returned to his own hits with "Sorry," "Where Are U Now," and "I'm The One," before shifting gears again with "Yukon," blending older material with newer tracks in a way that reflected his evolving artistry.

Guest Appearances and Closing Moments

As the performance neared its end, Bieber brought out several collaborators to join him on stage. Dijon appeared for "Devotion," followed by Tems, who joined him for "I Think You're Special." The energy built further when Wizkid and Tems returned for a performance of "Essence," drawing a strong response from the crowd.

To close the set, Bieber performed "Daisies" alongside Mk.gee, bringing the unconventional show to a quiet but memorable finish.

A Performance That Divided Opinion

The format of Bieber’s set quickly became a topic of discussion online. Some viewers appreciated the relaxed and unfiltered approach, noting how it offered a rare look into the artist’s creative process. Others were less convinced, with comparisons to karaoke circulating due to the use of music videos and moments where Bieber did not actively sing into the microphone.

Despite the mixed reactions, Bieber himself appears satisfied with how the night unfolded.

"He felt great about the set. He was excited to reconnect with fans in a way that felt true to where he is now," a source said. "He's not focused on how it's being labeled. He wanted to show up and do it his way. And that's exactly what he did. He's happy with how it turned out."

A Comeback Defined by Control

Rather than delivering a polished, high-production spectacle, Bieber chose to reintroduce himself on his own terms. The performance leaned heavily on spontaneity, blending structured moments with improvisation in a way that challenged expectations.

His return to Coachella was not just about performing again. It was about redefining how he connects with his audience. Whether praised or criticized, the set made one thing clear. Justin Bieber is no longer interested in following a traditional playbook.

As he prepares to return for Weekend 2, the conversation surrounding his comeback continues. Love it or question it, Bieber’s Coachella set ensured that his return would not go unnoticed.
