Justin Bieber staged a secret, invite-only warmup at The Roxy in Hollywood on March 29, 2026, performing a 25-song set under a strict no-phones policy with his wife Hailey and their son Jack reportedly in attendance. (consequence.net) That Roxy program drew exclusively from his 2025 releases SWAG and SWAG II, was split into three distinct segments with an acoustic middle set, and omitted most pre-2022 hits from the live bill. (rollingstone.com) Coachella’s 25th edition runs April 10–12 and April 17–19, 2026, and Bieber is scheduled as the Saturday headliner for both weekends — anchored to the festival’s second-day bill (April 11 and April 18). (coachella.com) His last studio LP, SWAG, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in July and propelled 16 tracks onto the Billboard Hot 100, bringing Bieber’s career total to 121 Hot 100 entries. (billboard.com) Bieber sold his publishing and recorded-rights catalog to Hipgnosis Songs Capital in a deal reported at roughly $200 million in January 2023, a transaction that industry coverage says covered his releases through 2021. (billboard.com) At the 68th Grammys on Feb. 1, 2026, he performed “YUKON” in a stripped-down set while entering the ceremony with four nominations, including album of the year and best pop vocal album.
