In October, Justin Bieber went live on Twitch with some teasers for his fans. “I’m putting on a hell of a show for you guys for Coachella, getting ready, and getting inspired,” he said about his headlining performance at the festival. On Saturday night, Bieber followed through with a set that included bringing out Kid Laroi to perform “Stay” and he later invited Dijon to the stage. Bieber was still in the midst of his show at press time.
The Kid Laroi discussed their relationship and Bieber’s positivity in 2024 with Rolling Stone. “He’s just a really special human being. He has no ego when it comes to supporting me,” Laroi said. “Not everyone’s like him. He’s very giving and he wants to offer everything that he has to help me.”
Bieber teased his headlining set with a preview performance at the Roxy in Los Angeles just over a week before the festival. It marked Bieber’s first U.S. concert in four years. The invite-only, no-phones gig found the musician performing music from last year’s double-album releases, Swag and Swag II.
“Swag definitely makes it clear that Bieber’s got issues — his issues have issues,” Rolling Stone wrote in a review of the record. “But he channels it all into some of the most genuinely creative and wide-ranging music of his life. ‘You can’t spread your wings in a bird cage,’ as he sings in ‘First Place.’ But all over Swag, he’s taking flight.”
Ahead of the album, a source close to the musician told Rolling Stone about the newfound creative control he secured on the record, calling it “the purest form” of Bieber we’ve ever seen. “Having full creative freedom, sadly, is something new for him as an artist,” the source said. “Not having to stress about creating the perfect single, or perfect album allowed for him to create the best body of music he’s ever made.”
Swag found collaborators in Mk.gee, Dijon, Cash Cobain, Gunna, Sexyy Red, and more.
