Justin Bieber<\/strong> headlined the second weekend of the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival after facing criticism for his previous set.<\/p>\n

The Grammy winner, 32, returned to the main stage on Saturday, April 18, where he sang an array of old and new hits. Out of his throwback tracks, Bieber belted \u201cOne Time and \u201cOne Less Lonely Girl,\u201d the latter which he sang to longtime fan\u00a0Billie Eilish.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eilish, 24, had been watching the show with her sister-in-law,\u00a0Claudia Sulewski<\/strong>, and Justin\u2019s wife,\u00a0Hailey Bieber<\/strong>, according to Sulewski\u2019s TikTok footage. Hailey, 29, then pushed Eilish to leave the VIP area and join Justin on the stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur one less lonely girl,\u201d Sulewski, who is engaged to Eilish\u2019s brother\u00a0Finneas<\/strong>, captioned her video.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tStars didn\u2019t hold back with their creative outfits at the 2026 Coachella Music & Arts Festival. Bachelor Nation\u2019s Kit Keenan, for example, hand-made her sparkling ensemble with help from her designer mom, Cynthia Rowley. She documented the design process via TikTok earlier this month, sharing behind-the-scenes clips of her mom busy at work sewing pieces [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Justin previously made his Coachella headlining debut on Saturday, April 11, performing songs from his Swag<\/em> and Swag II<\/em> albums as well as displaying YouTube clips of music videos from earlier in his career. Although his first set received mixed reviews from fans, Justin was unbothered by the backlash.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Justin in 2026. He doesn\u2019t have anyone pushing him to do these huge pop spectacles like a 3D concert movie anymore. It\u2019s all about vibing and enjoying where he\u2019s at now,\u201d a source exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> on Sunday, April 12. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot less pressure on him, which allows him to put on the show that he wants to.\u201d<\/p>\n

While clips of Justin browsing YouTube during his first performance went viral online, the insider emphasized that those segments \u201cwere only a small part of a much larger set.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe didn\u2019t sit behind a computer the whole time,\u201d the source said. \u201cAnyone who watched the full show saw that.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the insider, Bieber\u2019s inclusion of YouTube videos of himself was intended to serve as an \u201chomage\u201d to how he \u201cgot his start\u201d in the music industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was meant to show his journey from posting videos on YouTube to performing on one of the world\u2019s biggest stages, also on YouTube,\u201d the source told Us<\/em>. \u201cHailey thought it was adorable and very Justin. It was exactly what he planned and rehearsed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tThere are only three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and celebrities coupling up at the annual Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Since the ever-growing multi-weekend event was cofounded in 1999, A-list couples such as Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo and Rande Gerber and Cindy Crawford have headed to the deserts of [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Prior to his back-to-back Coachella performances, an insider revealed to Us<\/em> that Justin\u2019s team was \u201cfilming both weekends for a special project.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJustin doesn\u2019t feel he has something to prove, but at the same time, he wants to flex that he can put on a memorable show without a huge team like he once had,\u201d the source shared, referencing Justin parting ways with longtime manager Scooter Braun<\/strong> in 2023. \u201cIt\u2019s all his vision, brought to life by just a few people.\u201d<\/p>\n

During his first weekend at Coachella, Hailey was on hand to support Justin, blowing a kiss to him and waving at him from her spot in the audience. He also gave a sweet shout-out to Hailey \u2014 whom he married in September 2018 \u2014 and the couple\u2019s son, Jack, 19 months, during his set.<\/p>\n
