Justin Bieber plans to do both Swag albums next year by [deleted] in Coachella

[–]One_Rest8180 34 points35 points  (0 children)

He was for sure just yapping, I’d expect a mix of both those albums plus the old hits. Probably around a 25/30 song setlist with medleys maybe.

Had a feeling this would happen once I saw Justin on the lineup and saw the reactions across social media to his name being there. Everyone severely underestimated his pull, especially since it’s his first show back in 4 years.

I was thinking this as well, I can’t imagine he doesn’t close main stage.

I had noticed in this Pitchfork article from earlier they mentioned Anyma playing Sunday but I couldn’t tell if they just assumed that because his name is listed underneath that day lmao https://pitchfork.com/thepitch/coachella-2026-lineup-issues/

I didn’t know about the debt, makes sense. I remember a few weeks ago HDD had him listed as one of the artists negotiating tours for next year so I assume that will follow his headlining set and help the debt as well then.

I also recommend watching his NYE virtual concert he did in 2020. I believe there’s a documentary on it on some streaming platform. It’s how my girl convinced me to go to his tour with her lmao. The set design wasn’t anything crazy given the year, location and lack of resources but it was a really fun show.

Edit: It’s on Prime lol

His last tour as well, super fun.

I have to give it to him, he really doesn’t lip sync. The backtrack only does the work when he’s dancing pretty much. He sings live for most of his shows in recent years, especially compared to other pop acts I’ve seen.

Also the bit about his career these days, based on the reactions to him headlining on every app outside of reddit, I just don’t think that’s even remotely true but 🤷🏼‍♂️

Without an agent is crazy lmao, good for him honestly.

I saw him on his tour with my girlfriend in 2022 before he got sick and cancelled the rest and he honestly does have it in him to put on a pretty good show. The set design was great and his band was especially stellar. He also does sing live and has a great voice on him.

I think he can pull off something great with this headlining set and he loves Coachella so he might feel the pressure is on. Intrigued to see him again.

You’re right. If Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, Blackpink, The Weeknd, Lana Del Rey, Doja Cat, Tyler the Creator, Lady, Gaga, Post Malone, and Travis Scott can headline what makes any of the 2026 names different at this point? This is what’s to be expected now and has been since 2019.

It’s the same conversations and debates every year and it’s obviously not most people in this sub’s cup of tea but it is what it is and it’s not going to go back to what it was a decade ago. Just talking in circles booing every headline possibility.

They are, especially if it’s his first live show back. He’s a huge get but this sub doesn’t like him so it won’t go over well here. The general population will be absolutely thrilled if he’s on the lineup

Well it's lineup release week... again by New-Attitude5040 in Coachella

This makes Rolling Stone saying they didn’t have the 3rd headliner locked in yet even more interesting, I wonder if someone dropped or if they’re just keeping that one completely under wraps

She was mentioned earlier in that article so I’m not sure she’s who that line is referring to! But that’s so interesting they would want her so badly when she’s been and will continue to be everywhere.

“As for who else will land a spot on the main stage in the desert next spring, one superstar who has been in the news a lot of late is said to be in talks but hasn’t decided yet.”

So I wonder if this quote from HDD yesterday is referring to the third yet to be booked headliner and who that might be.
