Justin Bieber Lands Reported $10 Million Coachella 2026 Deal, Setting Festival Pay Record

Rolling Stone reports a two-weekend deal that, by industry benchmarks, would surpass previous Coachella headliner payouts.

Overview

  • Coachella 2026 runs April 10–12 and April 17–19 in Indio, with Sabrina Carpenter headlining Friday, Justin Bieber on Saturday and Karol G on Sunday.
  • Rolling Stone reports Bieber’s two-weekend booking at roughly $10 million, positioning him as the highest-paid act in the festival’s history.
  • Coverage pegs the payout at about $5 million per weekend, with KTLA citing Rolling Stone’s reporting on the structure of the deal.
  • Comparisons in trade and media reports place the figure above past headline fees for acts such as Bad Bunny (~$5M), The Weeknd (~$8.5M request), Ariana Grande (~$8M) and Beyoncé (reported $8–$12M).
  • One detail remains unconfirmed: whether Bieber’s long relationship with Goldenvoice parent AEG could reduce any agency commission on the deal.
