Justin Bieber dropped his surprise seventh album SWAG on July 11, 2025, stirring fresh buzz amid Coachella 2025 speculation. The album, packed with collaborations from Gunna, Sexyy Red, and Cash Cobain, marks his first major release in four years.
Billboards teasing SWAG popped up globally before release, lighting a fire under fan hopes for a festival headline slot. However, the Coachella community remains doubtful, citing Bieber’s disoriented recent festival appearances and ongoing concerns over his wellness as red flags for organizers seeking dependable acts.
Reddit threads like “Bieberchella? 👀” fueled initial buzz but quickly turned skeptical. Comments referenced Coachella’s recent cautious booking stance after problematic experiences with other big-name artists, underscoring a preference for reliability over hype-driven risks.
Furthermore, Bieber publicly addressed swirling rumors about his mental health following Coachella performances, calling out “gossip” and “lies,” which has done little to calm doubts about his readiness for a major festival stage at this time.
Why Bieber at Coachella 2025 Seems Unlikely
- Festival caution: Coachella’s recent artist selections aim to avoid cancellations and public issues.
- Artist health and stability: Concerns persist about Bieber’s live performance readiness.
- Community sentiment: Fans and insiders value dependability over headline drama.
While SWAG has undoubtedly reignited Bieber’s star power, the prevailing consensus is that festival bookings for Coachella 2025 are unlikely to include him. Organizers are expected to prioritize acts that promise a stable, high-quality experience for attendees.
