The Beliebers are beyond happy to know about Justin Bieber’s upcoming performance at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. And it seems it was on the behest of his wife, Hailey Bieber, that the singer agreed to perform at the mega music event. According to multiple sources, Hailey was the “big influence on Justin’s decision to headline Coachella.”
Hailey Bieber was a ‘big influence on Justin’s decision to headline Coachella,’ source claims
Justin Bieber is gearing up for his forthcoming performance at Coachella 2026, but it was his wife, Hailey Bieber, who was the “driving force” behind the singer’s decision. One source with direct knowledge of the matter told Us Weekly that the RHODE founder was a “big influence on Justin’s decision to headline Coachella.” According to the insider, the business mogul “nudged” the singer and is “always in his corner hyping him up.”
A second source echoed the same thoughts, revealing, “Hailey was definitely the driving force behind Justin doing Coachella.” The insider further explained that since the 28-year-old “grew up on his music, she always reminds him that he’s the Justin Bieber.” Hailey is well aware fans will be ecstatic “to see him back on stage, so she was like, ‘You have to do this!,’” claimed the insider.
The 31-year-old pop icon had earlier denied performing at the Indio, California. But now the singer is more than ready to perform on stage, especially after releasing two hit albums, “Swag” and “Swag II.” Hence, Justin “feels this is the best way to share his new music with fans and is very excited about the opportunity,” the source revealed.
Moreover, after releasing his albums without the help of his former manager, Scooter Braun, the singer feels “he is more in control of his career. He doesn’t have people making decisions for him anymore.” Even his beloved partner “assured him now is the best time and has been incredibly supportive,” the source added.
Although Justin will reportedly perform on April 11 and 18, the singer has already started working on his setlist. According to the source, his main “goal is to make it a celebration of his career and where he’s at now.”
