AceShowbiz - Fans of Justin Bieber are gearing up as the pop superstar prepares to headline Coachella 2026 for the very first time in his nearly 20-year career. This marks a milestone for the "Lonely" singer, who will perform on the iconic California festival’s main stage, drawing excitement from his global fanbase eager to see what hits he will deliver.

Bieber is set to perform during both weekends of the festival, specifically on Saturday, April 11, and again on Saturday, April 18. These appearances place him as one of the key headliners, and fans are already marking their calendars to catch his performances.

The start time for Justin Bieber's sets on both April 11 and April 18 is scheduled for 11:25 p.m. Pacific Time, offering a late-night experience under the desert sky. This timing is expected to create an electrifying atmosphere as he takes the stage after dark.

Though the exact setlist remains unannounced, attendees and social media followers have caught wind of some of the songs Justin Bieber rehearsed ahead of the festival. Clips and reports suggest he practiced classics such as "Baby," "One Less Lonely Girl," "All That Matters," "With You," "So Sick," "Favorite Girl," and "Sorry," hinting at a nostalgic yet dynamic performance.

Producer Ben Winston shared insight into Bieber's rehearsal process, revealing that he used only about 15 minutes of his allotted 90-minute rehearsal slot. Impressively, Justin performed his song "Yukon" once and was satisfied with the run-through. Winston described the moment on the "Rolling Stone Music Now" podcast, saying, "He came to the stage, he did it once. It was brilliant... I was like, ‘Oh, my God. It looked beautiful. I loved it.’ And he went, ‘OK, fantastic. See you Sunday!’"

Before leaving, Bieber agreed to repeat the performance once more so camera operators could familiarize themselves with the sequence, showcasing his professionalism and focus despite the brief rehearsal.

Besides Justin Bieber, the 2026 Coachella lineup includes other headliners such as Sabrina Carpenter, who returns to the festival for her third time, and Karol G, who makes history as the first Latina to headline Coachella.

This year’s festival promises a diverse and memorable musical experience, with Justin Bieber’s debut headlining performance at the forefront of anticipation for music fans worldwide.
