Justin Bieber will perform at the festival in Southern California next year, but the two-time Grammy winner has already received a fee of $10 million, according to the Daily Mail. This means Bieber has surpassed music icons like Beyoncé and Lady Gaga to become the festival’s highest-paid artist in its history. Coachella organizers posted on social media on Monday, September 23, announcing ticket availability, but a day later they announced that the 2026 festival was sold out.
Coachella is sold out, keep dancing. See you in April, the statement said.
An insider told Rolling Stone magazine about Bieber’s record fee at the Coachella festival, which he received directly from promoter Goldenvoice, without intermediaries in the video of music agencies or labels.
This is a groundbreaking move for the headliner, and he achieved this completely on his own, an insider close to the artist told the publication. “Thanks to Coachella and the success of his album ‘Swag,’ it’s clear this is the beginning of a new and exciting era for Justin—one in which he’s in complete control.”
Fans were quick to comment on Bieber’s success in numerous social media posts.
There are artists who create eras,” wrote one user.
Justin’s headlining Coachella shows he’s not fading away – he’s rethinking his position, another noted.
Justin is absolutely amazing, his energy and hits will make his performance one of the most memorable at the festival, a third said.
Bieber’s wife, Hailey, also supported her husband on social media, posting a message in support of the news that he will be headlining one of the world’s top music festivals.
