What fans are talking about
A Reddit thread on r/coachella surfaced claims that Justin Bieber has been talking about putting Coachella at the center of his plans next year — and bringing both SWAG I and SWAG II projects to the stage. According to the post, Bieber reportedly said he’s burned out on long runs and prefers a smaller number of spot dates, but is excited about building a Coachella set that mixes the new projects with older hits.
“I think I’ve just touring for so long, that even the idea of touring at this point in my life seems so daunting… Right now I’m focusing on Coachella, I’m really excited for that. I’m gonna probably do both projects [SWAG I and SWAG II] and merge some of the old songs where I can. I haven’t performed the new songs yet, so i’m super excited.”
The Reddit poster also noted a potential setlist size — roughly 44 songs if Bieber attempts to fit both new projects plus his catalog — and pointed out how ambitious that would be even for a headliner. Festival fans in the thread were split between excitement at the prospect of a deep, career-spanning set and skepticism about how realistic a 40‑plus song slot would be.
Takeaway for festival-goers: this is the kind of insider chatter that pops up on community boards ahead of big festival seasons — interesting and hyped, but not an official billing. We’ll keep an eye on Coachella announcements and any interviews that confirm Bieber’s plans for a 2026 appearance or the SWAG projects.
