Beliebers around the globe can collectively breathe a sigh of relief, because we’ve finally got Justin Bieber back on stage once more! Bieber fever was at an all time high leading up to last night, with millions tuned in to watch the pop star’s first comeback in four years, after he was forced to abandon his tour back in 2022 due to health issues.
With so many hits to choose from, all eyes were on Bieber to find out what nostalgia-inducing songs he would do at Coachella this year. If you couldn’t make it to Bieberchella, here are some of the must-see moments, from revisiting his past works with a live search through YouTube and the star-studded crowd.
The set up
Bieber, in a hoodie and jorts, kept his set simple and stripped down. There was only a MacBook accompanying him on stage, which he used to scroll through YouTube for his old music videos and even memes.
Nostalgic, full-circle moment

The 32-year-old, whose rapid rise to fame as a tween, did a trip down memory lane, giving the crowd what they were really there for. He sat at his laptop on YouTube, asking the audience: “How far back do you go?”, before singing along to snippets of some of his biggest hits like “Baby”, “Favorite Girl”, “That Should Be Me”, “Beauty and a Beat”, and “Never Say Never”, as their music videos filled the screen behind him. Bieber then threw it all the way back playing his famous “With You” cover, the video that launched his career.
Memes on stage
Is it clocking to you yet? In addition to playing his old music videos, Bieber pulled up viral videos like “Deez Nutz”, “Double Rainbow”, and even his own 2025 paparazzi encounter in which he released the instant classic, “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business”, which he re-enacted on stage.
