Justin Bieber is set to headline Coachella again on Saturday, April 18, with his Weekend 2 set scheduled for 11:25 p.m. on the main Coachella Stage. (timeout.com) Coachella’s second weekend runs April 17-19, 2026, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, and Bieber closes Saturday night after Addison Rae and the Strokes earlier on the same stage. (coachella.com) (timeout.com) The festival’s official livestream is running on YouTube, with seven stage feeds, a multiview option for up to four streams at once on television, and a schedule synced through Coachella’s livestream app. (coachella.com) Published livestream guides list Bieber’s set from 11:25 p.m. to 12:55 a.m. Pacific time, which matches the late-night headliner slot Coachella gave him during the festival’s first weekend. (thefader.com) (ftw.usatoday.com) This set is drawing extra attention because it is Bieber’s first time headlining Coachella and one of his biggest live appearances since health issues forced him to cancel his 2022 tour. Time Out reported that he returned recently with a Grammy performance and a smaller Los Angeles warm-up show before the festival. (timeout.com) Weekend 2 is also the first chance to see whether Bieber changes anything after online reaction to his April 11 set, which mixed newer songs from *Swag* and *Swag II* with acoustic moments and clips from his older catalog. Time Out said fans and internet commentators split over that format, with some calling parts of it “YouTube karaoke.” (timeout.com) No guest appearances have been confirmed for Saturday night, but Time Out reported that Weekend 1 included the Kid LAROI, Tems, Wizkid, Dijon and producer Mk.gee, making those names the most immediate speculation for a return. (timeout.com) For viewers at home, the practical part is simple: Bieber’s set starts late, streams on the official Coachella YouTube feed, and will likely run past midnight Pacific time, just as his first-weekend performance did.
