Justin Bieber’s lacklustre Coachella set is cheered on by his celebrity pals as fans go wild when they spot Kylie Jenner and boyfriend Timothée Chalamet dancing in the crowd

Justin Bieber made his Coachella debut Sunday night, with his wife Hailey and a crowd of celebrity friends cheering him on.

The 32-year-old singer, dressed casually in shorts, a hoodie, and sunglasses, didn’t quite deliver what fans hoped for. He performed mostly newer, less popular songs, and played few of his classic hits.

Fans were thrilled when they saw Kylie Jenner and her boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, dancing together in the audience.

Justin quickly played snippets of his most popular songs, including hits like ‘Baby,’ ‘Favorite Girl,’ ‘Beauty and a Beat,’ ‘Never Say Never,’ and ‘Confident.’

Kylie and Timothée clearly enjoyed the song, singing along to “Never Say Never” with Justin Bieber’s wife, Hailey, Kendall Jenner, and their friends.

The couple, together since early 2023, appeared incredibly happy as they snuggled close while enjoying the event.

Kylie and Timothée seemed to be trying to avoid attention. Timothée wore a camouflage hat and a purple bandanna to shield his face from the dust.

The actor from Hollywood and the founder of the popular lip-kit company were seen dancing with Justin Bieber’s wife, Hailey, who was also wearing a camouflage baseball cap.

When Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet appeared together in the crowd, fans went crazy, widely sharing a video of the pair looking like any other concertgoers. Many commented on how normal and relaxed they seemed.

Okay, so Justin came on stage, and honestly? It was… a choice. Everyone was expecting all the hits, you know? The songs everyone screams along to! But he just played a bunch of stuff that only super fans would know. It was like he was intentionally trying to disappoint us! I mean, I love his music, but even I was a little heartbroken he didn’t play the classics. It was a total mood killer, and honestly, a lot of us were just left feeling really bummed out.

This popular performer has made four unannounced appearances at the festival, supporting artists like Ariana Grande, Chance the Rapper, Daniel Caesar, and Tems.

He headlined a late-night performance on the second day of the festival this year, and reports suggest he earned $10 million for it.

He was already scheduled to perform late, at 11:25pm, and people were worried the strong desert winds might push his start time back even more.

Despite a warm welcome with cheers and applause, he surprised the audience by appearing in casual clothes and performing mostly newer, less familiar songs, rather than his popular classics.

He occasionally played popular songs like “Stay” and “Sorry.” Later, he quickly performed short parts of several of his most famous hits, including “Baby,” “Favorite Girl,” “Beauty and a Beat,” “Never Say Never,” and “Confident.”

However, his performance largely featured a selection of songs that left many fans online feeling disappointed and even making fun of it. People shared comments like, ‘Justin Bieber headlined Coachella but didn’t play any of his biggest hits!’ and ‘There’s no way Coachella paid Justin Bieber $8 million to dress like Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad.’

One fan expressed strong disapproval, saying they couldn’t understand spending so much money to see Justin Bieber perform poorly and appear casually dressed. They felt it disrespected his audience.

People expressed strong dislike for the band’s appearance and music, calling it low-quality. There was also criticism over Justin Bieber reportedly receiving a $10 million payment simply for appearing on stage.

Someone commented that the situation arose because the artist had sold off their older music and was now relying on a recent album that hadn’t gained much attention.

One attendee noticed a huge contrast between their more relaxed performance and Sabrina Carpenter’s incredibly energetic show the night before.

One fan politely told Justin Bieber his performance wasn’t hitting the mark, while another was more critical, joking that he was headlining Coachella with just a microphone and a Macbook.

He opened his performance with his song “All I Can Take,” performing it while bathed in rapidly changing blue and white psychedelic lights.

He followed that with a performance of his 2025 song, “Speed Demon,” which playfully mocked the rumors and concern surrounding his health.

He preferred letting his music do the talking, and famously sang, ‘People claim I’m crazy, but now they’re singing along to every word.’

Between segments, he complimented the audience, calling them ‘beautiful,’ and warmly asked viewers watching online how they were doing.

He invited fans to participate in the show by requesting their favorite songs and sharing them in the live chat.

The set was unsettling, filled with smoke and a strangely tilted, pearl-grey landscape that made it seem like he was walking on an alien world.

Justin Bieber performed his songs “First Place” and “Go Baby,” both written as heartfelt dedications to his wife, Hailey Bieber. Hailey was spotted at Coachella with her friend Kendall Jenner before his performance.

He also performed several new songs, including “Walking Away,” which many believe references the rumors surrounding his divorce from Hailey. He played “Petting Zoo,” which some fans thought was about arguments in their relationship, and “I Do,” a song that seemed to reaffirm his love for Hailey.

He performed his hit 2021 song “Stay,” featuring The Kid LAROI, which fans had actually requested to hear.

After that, Bieber performed a set of more low-key songs, including his 2020 ballad “Come Around Me,” which is about his close relationship with his wife, Hailey.

He followed up with a couple of songs from his previous album, including the uplifting “Glory Voice Memo” and the emotional ballad “Zuma House.”

Following the quieter part of the show, he pleased the audience by playing a collection of his most popular older songs.

He sat down at his laptop and put on some of his favorite songs, singing along to tracks like “Baby,” “Favorite Girl,” “Beauty and a Beat,” “Never Say Never,” “Confident,” and “All That Matters.”

He revisited some old videos of himself singing as a child, recordings that eventually led Usher and Scooter Braun to discover him.

He pointed out a video from 19 years ago showing a young Justin Bieber covering Ne-Yo’s 2006 song, then contrasted it with footage of adult Bieber performing the same song live at Coachella.

Next, Bieber performed two of his popular hits: “Sorry,” from 2015, and his collaboration with Skrillex, “Where Are U Now.”

He playfully revisited some old, embarrassing videos of himself online, including clips of him walking into a glass door, falling off stage, and angrily confronting a photographer he believed was intentionally trying to bother him.

He then transitioned to some of his more recent, less well-known songs, including “Yukon,” which was a nod to the GMC Yukon that Hailey used to drive when they were together.

Honestly, one of the sweetest moments of the night was when he performed ‘Devotion,’ a beautiful song dedicated to his wife. He even brought out Dijon to sing it with him, and they finished with this incredibly touching hug – it was just a really genuine, feel-good moment.

I was so excited for Bieber’s set, but I was completely blown away when Jennifer Lopez unexpectedly took the Coachella stage! It was incredible to see her perform after all these years – nearly three decades of amazing music! It was a real moment.

The audience was thrilled when the 56-year-old performer unexpectedly appeared on stage during David Guetta’s performance as a special guest.
