Justin Bieber is giving fans an intimate glimpse into his world, and it’s all tied to his upcoming Coachella performance. The singer’s recent debut on Twitch is reportedly part of a larger plan to build excitement for his long-awaited headlining set at Coachella 2026.
Justin Bieber’s Twitch is a way to let fans know about Coachella
Justin Bieber is launching his Coachella campaign in the most modern way possible: through raw, live content on Twitch. A source close to the singer confirmed to PEOPLE that this isn’t a random venture. “Justin’s Twitch is his way of letting fans see that he’s excited and working hard for his headlining set at Coachella.” This direct-to-fan approach builds immense hype while offering an authenticity that polished posts often lack.
His streams have given viewers a full-access pass to his daily life, transforming from a distant celebrity into a relatable artist in real-time. After all, fans have watched him skateboard, play basketball, and even engage in different degrees of conversations with friends and collaborators inside his studio.
The evidence of such is when Bieber opened up about his personal growth. He shared, “Sometimes even the way we’ve been raised, is like, you know, just like, ‘Toughen up. Keep going.’ Being vulnerable can be really scary. We get to change those things, which is nice. Grateful for that.”
This dedicated preparation is reportedly part of a major milestone in Bieber’s Coachella journey. While he has made surprise appearances in the past, joining Ariana Grande in 2019 and Tems in 2024, 2026 will be his first time as an official headliner.
The official lineup, announced on September 16, places him alongside Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. He is scheduled to perform the Saturday shows on April 11 and 18. The announcement has sent ticket sales soaring, with both weekends selling out in a matter of days.
