Justin Bieber's Coachella headline set featured surprise guests Billie Eilish and SZA, plus a nostalgic trip through his viral hits and early career.

"He kicked it into full gear, enlisting super fan Billie Eilish to come up on stage - Variety"

Los Angeles, April 19

Singer-songwriter Justin Bieber, who performed at the Coachella weekend came fully prepared. He brought out the big guns during his headlining set, tapping Sexyy Red, Billie Eilish and SZA as he took a trip down memory lane through his discography.

He began by running through the lot of the "Swag" songs that dominated his weekend one set, including 'Go Baby' and 'All I Can Take', reports 'Variety'.

But it's when he transitioned into the previous YouTube section, the moment where he scrolled the site to revisit old songs, that he kicked it into full gear, enlisting super fan Billie Eilish to come up on stage with the singer for his single 'One Less Lonely Girl'.

As per 'Variety', Eilish crawled up the stage and sat on a chair as Bieber sang the song to her midway through his Coachella set.

Eilish has consistently credited Bieber as an inspiration, meeting at Coachella in 2019 and subsequently collaborating on the remix to her song 'Bad Guy'.

SZA was the closing guest artist, popping up to sing 'Snooze' with Bieber. They previously connected to perform the song last year at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium as part of her co-headlining tour with Kendrick Lamar.

Justin Bieber closed out Coachella weekend two with a retrospective of his pair of 'Swag' albums, which took up the majority of the set. He also brought out a few other guest artistes during the show, including Sexyy Red on 'Sweet Spot' and Big Sean for 'As Long As You Love Me' and 'No Pressure'.

Last weekend, he introduced the standout YouTube segment by running through clips and singing along to them, reminiscing about his early days along with the Coachella audience. This Saturday night, he pulled up old clips of him singing along to early age covers of him performing Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me a River'. It was mostly a nostalgic affair, traipsing through memes and early viral videos.

It's great to see these global stars collaborating, but honestly, I wish our Indian music festivals had this scale and production value. We have amazing talent here too!

The YouTube segment sounds so wholesome! Going back to his roots with those old covers. It's a nice reminder that even the biggest stars start somewhere. Full circle moment for sure. 😊

Respectfully, while the show sounds spectacular, I can't help but think of the carbon footprint of such massive events. Coachella is known for it. Hope they are taking serious steps towards sustainability.

Billie Eilish crawling on stage to sit on a chair while he sings 'One Less Lonely Girl' to her? That's peak fangirl moment! So cute. Their friendship is goals.

The 'Swag' albums taking up most of the set is interesting. Personally, I prefer his older pop classics. But bringing out Big Sean for 'As Long As You Love Me' is a solid throwback. That song never gets old!
