There is always some joy in realizing that Justin Bieber is definitely back. Fans’ apprehension about his illness, which forced him to give up music and live performances in 2023, is just a distant and ugly memory, thankfully. Because with his SWAGs, both chapter one and two, he has loudly shouted that music is his stuff and that his comeback is something real and not transient. Even in live performance? Some hoped so, and the announcement has indeed come. And what better place than Coachella, where he has often been immortalized in past years as a spectator, to make this exciting comeback?
In fact, Justin is in the lineup of the spectacular music festival held annually in California, on the launch pad next weekend (April 10-11-12, 2026) and the weekend after (April 17-18-19, 2026). And his Saturday live show at Coachella (both April 11 and 18) promises to be highly anticipated, not only by fans, but by everyone in the music world. But as anticipation mounts, Justin has not been sitting on his hands in recent weeks.
Yes, because on March 29, 2026, good Justin put on an intimate live show right in Los Angeles, probably to warm up for the Coachella dates. Despite the utmost secrecy, there were many on social media who celebrated his little concert at the Roxy, showing little glimpses of his return to the stage. One of the first real live shows, however secretive, in a long time. Justin, however, after the Roxy date, has not stopped. Because in the last few hours he was featured in another small concert, even more intimate, at the Troubadour in West Hollywood.
A preparatory ritual, a kind of training. Call it what you will. On TMZ, which reports Setlist FM as its source, Justin would only play songs from “SWAG” and “SWAG II” during the live show, “leading fans to believe that his performances at Coachella on April 11 and 18 will be more of the same.” No hits, no big hits, just Lil Bieber’s last two albums? Who knows. But we’re sure that whatever songs are in Bieber’s setlist, fans are satisfied with just seeing him happy – as he has also shown himself on Instagram in videos of his performances shared on social – with a microphone in front of an audience.
