Justin Bieber’s headline performance at Coachella weekend one last Saturday (11 April) received mixed reviews after he brought out a laptop and essentially delivered karaoke performances of some of his older songs. However, this weekend (18 April), he did something a little bit different.

At the end of his first suite of songs, Bieber debuted his SWAG song SWEET SPOT alongside special guest Sexyy Red. The special guests didn’t stop there. After an acoustic-focused Act II, he was joined by back-to-back special guests.

As Bieber fans revelled in nostalgia of tracks like Baby and U Smile, Bieber surprised fans when he launched into a performance of One Less Lonely Girl – his first since 2020. Originally released in 2009, the track became known for its ritual where the singer would bring a female fan on stage.

For his Coachella performance, Bieber’s wife, Hailey, pushed a seemingly unsuspecting Billie Eilish onto the stage, and she promptly burst into tears. Eilish later took to her Instagram Stories to share a photo of herself with red, teary eyes and wrote, “can’t stop crying.”

After Eilish joined Bieber on stage, it was Big Sean’s turn to join him for some throwbacks, such as 2012’s As Long as You Love Me and 2015’s No Pressure, both performed for the first time since 2017.

The Line of Best Fit notes that before leaving the stage, Big Sean had the following to say about his collaborator: “I’ve seen a lot of the things you’ve gone through. I’ve seen you at times when it wasn’t always beautiful, but you fought through it, and in a world where everyone’s trying to take over the world, you give over the world, bro.”

While Bieber did briefly boot up the laptop to showcase an old YouTube acoustic cover of Justin Timberlake’s classic, Cry Me a River, his set came to a close with Dijon coming on stage for the SWAG track, DEVOTION, and SZA with a performance of her SOS song, SNOOZE.

Bieber concluded his set with new single DAISIES. Rewind the Coachella replay to check out the highlights from the performance below.
