Justin Bieber secures a significant $10 million contract for Coachella, independently, according to reports.
**Justin Bieber to Headline Coachella 2026, Releases New Album 'Swag II'
Justin Bieber, the pop sensation, has made headlines once again as he was announced as a headliner for the 2026 Coachella Music Festival. This news comes after the successful release of his seventh studio album, 'Swag,' in July, and the subsequent release of 'Swag II' on Sept. 5, a 44-track album.
The 'Baby' singer will reportedly receive $5 million per weekend at Coachella, a payment that is in line with top headliners for the music festival. This deal was made without the assistance of an agent.
Bieber's latest album, 'Swag II,' includes tracks that honor his relationship with his wife, Hailey Bieber. Songs like 'I Do,' 'I Think You're Special,' and 'Mother in You' are a testament to their bond. Hailey Bieber, who is 28 years old, celebrated the Coachella announcement on Instagram with lyrics from a song, while Justin Bieber shared the festival's lineup on his own account.
In 'Mother in You,' Bieber highlights his one-year-old son, Jack Blues. The album 'Swag' was Justin Bieber's first album drop since 2021.
It's important to note that Scooter Braun, Bieber's former manager, retired from the music industry in 2024. The two settled a financial dispute in July, with Bieber paying Braun's company more than $8,806,000. Braun is not involved in the Coachella deal.
The Coachella Music Festival is scheduled for April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19 in Indio, Calif. The 2025 edition of the festival will feature headliners like Lady Gaga, Green Day, Post Malone, and Travis Scott, alongside many other acts such as Charli XCX, Missy Elliott, Megan Thee Stallion, members of BLACKPINK (LISA and JENNIE), Kraftwerk, and more. However, Justin Bieber is not listed among the 2025 performers but is a headliner for the 2026 edition.
Hailey Bieber followed up Justin Bieber's Coachella announcement on Instagram with lyrics from a song, writing 'IN THE CITAYYY' in the caption. The couple has been open about their excitement for the upcoming festival.
Justin Bieber hasn't worked with a manager since parting ways with Braun in 2023, choosing to handle his career independently. His successful album releases and high-profile festival appearances suggest that this decision has been a successful one.
Bieber's fans are eagerly awaiting his performance at Coachella 2026, where they will get to see their favorite artist perform live once again.
