Just weeks prior, he performed an intimate, invite-only show at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles on March 29 — his first full performance in nearly four years. That set focused on his recent projects, SWAG and SWAG II, giving fans a preview of what to expect at Coachella.

Bieber will perform across both Coachella weekends, from April 10–12 and April 17–19. This year’s festival also features headliners Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma.
