Justin Bieber and his wife Hailey have become familiar faces at the Coachella Music Festival over recent years, creating memorable moments both on and off the stage. The 32-year-old global music icon is now poised for a highly anticipated return as a headline act, scheduled to perform on Saturday, April 11, with a repeat performance on April 18 for the festival's second weekend.
Ticket Sales Surge Following Social Media Leak
Last-minute resale ticket activity has reportedly skyrocketed after footage of Bieber's set rehearsal was leaked on social media platforms. A viral TikTok clip captured the singer practicing classic hits such as Boyfriend and Sorry, generating immense buzz among fans. Sources have informed TMZ that Bieber has been rigorously running through throwback songs during soundchecks on the Coachella stage, further heightening expectations.
This excitement follows the revelation in September of last year that Bieber has secured the title of the highest-paid act in Coachella's history. When his headline status for this year's festival was announced, tickets sold out almost immediately. Currently, general admission resale tickets are commanding prices around $4,000, a stark increase from their original starting point of $649 last year, as reported by TMZ.
A Look Back at the Biebers' Coachella Journey
Justin and Hailey Bieber are no strangers to the annual desert event. The Daily Mail has chronicled some of their most notable appearances, highlighting a series of wild and memorable moments leading up to his return to the stage.
Coachella 2022: A Shirtless Surprise Performance
In 2022, the couple attended the festival, where Bieber made a shocking, shirtless appearance on stage to perform with Daniel Caesar. Showcasing his extensive tattoo collection, he wore blue jeans and a red cap. Hailey, founder of the Rhode skincare brand, opted for a cropped tank top and snakeskin pants. The pair navigated the crowded grounds in a golf cart alongside friend Kendall Jenner and were later seen leaving Khalid's set with other A-list celebrities like Kaia Gerber.
Coachella 2023: Intimate Moments Shared Online
The Biebers, who married in 2018, were spotted at the Indio, California festival in 2023. While briefly seen leaving in large golf carts, Hailey later shared a closer look on her main Instagram page. One photo captured the model smiling cheerfully while sitting on her husband's lap inside a spacious van. She wore a shiny white shirt that revealed her toned midriff, with Bieber's hands gently around her waist. He kept it casual in a short-sleeved white shirt and a tan cap.
Coachella 2024: A Surprise Cameo Amid Pregnancy
Bieber made a surprise cameo on stage in 2024, two years after announcing his Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome diagnosis. He joined Tems and WizKid to perform their hit Essence. Hailey, in the crowd, shared a snippet to her Instagram Stories with the caption 'oh hey baby.' The couple also attended an after-party, where Bieber went shirtless behind Hailey, who wore an oversized jacket to conceal her pregnancy with their son, Jack Blues. She promoted her Rhode brand in a loose-fitting green shirt and white shorts. Fans also captured them cozying up during Lana Del Rey's set, with Bieber gently running his hands through her hair.
Coachella 2025: Amid Rumors and Celebrity Bashes
Last year, the Biebers arrived at the festival amid rumors of marital strife. Hailey drove a golf cart with Bieber shirtless in black shorts, a beanie, and sneakers behind her. Concerns arose from videos showing Bieber partying shirtless and appearing to smoke in a gray hoodie. However, they later hosted a private party at the Red Bull Mirage venue, attended by celebrities like Tobey Maguire, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, and Leonardo DiCaprio. During Yeat's set, Bieber was seen wrapping his arms around Hailey. Five months later, in September 2025, they returned to the empty grounds with baby Jack, and Bieber was announced as a major headliner for the 2026 Coachella Music Festival.
