Justin Bieber has officially released his seventh studio album, SWAG, on July 11, 2025, reigniting fan speculation about his future festival appearances—specifically Coachella 2026. The surprise 20-track album features collaborations with Gunna, Sexyy Red, and Cash Cobain and sports cover art showcasing Bieber with his wife Hailey and their son Jack Blues Bieber.
Meanwhile, Bieber’s recent presence at Coachella 2025 has fans divided. While he was spotted enjoying the “Friday Nights in the Desert” event, some clips surfaced showing him smoking and dancing energetically, causing concern among parts of the community about his wellness and stage readiness. This feeds into the Reddit thread “Bieberchella? 👀”, where fans debated the possibility of him headlining future Coachellas.
Fan sentiment is largely skeptical— many express caution citing recent tour cancellations and analogies to controversial booking risks like Ye and Frank Ocean. The Coachella crowd appears wary of a “Bieberchella” title, leaning more towards health and reliability concerns than excitement.At this moment, there hasn’t been any official word on Bieber’s lineup status for Coachella 2026 or other major festivals. But with the album drop fresh and a mixed fanbase reaction, the next few months of festival announcements will be telling for Bieber’s live performance trajectory and potential festival reintegration.
