Coachella 2026 – the biggest music festival is back, and this time it has brought Justin Bieber along for the ride. While the singer has previously joined other artists for their performances, this is the first time he’s getting his own solo slot. Along with him, Sabrina Carpenter and Colombian singer Karol G are among the headliners this year.
As per Rolling Stone, an insider has claimed that Bieber’s fee is somewhere north of $10 million for the two weekends. That’s $5 million per weekend. The outlet reported that Bieber worked “directly” with the festival promoter, Goldenvoice, to negotiate the terms.
A source said, “It’s a groundbreaking move for a headliner, and it’s something he built entirely on his own. Between headlining Coachella and the success of Swag, it’s clear this is the start of an exciting new era for Justin — one where he’s fully in the driver’s seat.” Now this is something his fans have been waiting for for a while.
Carpenter will lead the weekends on Fridays. Bieber will headline the Saturday performances, and Karol G leads the Sunday lineup.
All About Karol G, Including Her Last Coachella Performance
Karol G, real name Carolina Giraldo Navarro, is making history at Coachella as she is all set to be the first Latina singer to headline the musical festival. Prior to this, it was Bad Bunny who headlined the event in 2023, becoming the first Latino to do so.
She is also the first Latina to headline a global stadium tour. Moreover, her album, Mañana Será Bonito, topped the Billboard 200 chart and became the first Spanish-language album by a female Latin artist to achieve the milestone.
Karol G has received numerous awards for her contribution to the music industry, including a Grammy in 2024 for Best Música Urbana Album (Mañana Será Bonito). She has also received six Latin Grammy Awards, five Billboard Music Awards, and more.
The artist has not only dominated the music scene but has also showcased her acting abilities. In 2024, she played a recurring role in Sofia Vergara’s Griselda. She began her career through the Colombian version of The X Factor as a teenager. Click here to learn more about the singer.
