Justin Bieber’s 2026 Coachella set is generating buzz among his fellow music stars.

The 32-year-old pop superstar headlined the festival’s main stage in Indio, California, on Saturday night (April 11) with a hit-filled set that took festival-goers on a stroll down memory lane as he also showcased some of his early YouTube videos.

“Thank God he has Premium. I don’t wanna see no ads,” Katy Perry joked in an Instagram video she posted while watching Bieber’s set from the crowd.

Perry, who wore a shirt emblazoned with the phrase “Pls don’t give me a rip off your vape no matter what I say,” attended weekend one of Coachella with her boyfriend, former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

The “Teenage Dream” hitmaker wasn’t the only artist to react to Bieber’s YouTube-fueled segment. Zara Larsson also shared a TikTok — seemingly filmed on her tour bus — showing her watching a livestream of Bieber’s set as he played old videos on his laptop for the audience.

“It’s giving lets smoke and watch YouTube,” Larsson wrote in the clip, where her friends can be seen watching a video of Bieber showing off his viral “double rainbow all the way” video.

“He’s in my dream blunt rotation,” the Swedish pop star captioned the post.

Bieber spent roughly 25 minutes of his Coachella headlining set going down an internet rabbit hole, pulling up once-viral clips such as “Deez Nuts” and “Double Rainbow.” He also played a string of his early hits, singing along to snippets of “Baby,” “That Should Be Me” and “Never Say Never,” as their music videos filled the screen behind him. The pop star then took it all the way back, playing the video that launched his career: his “With You” cover from 2008.

Bieber will return for Coachella’s second weekend on April 18. Check out Billboard’s full review of his opening-weekend headlining set here.

KATSEYE can check off a big accomplishment from their bucket list: performing at Coachella.

The K-pop girl group — currently a five-piece (Daniela, Lara, Megan, Sophia and Yoonchae) while bandmate Manon is on a temporary hiatus — chatted with Billboard the day after their first time playing the iconic music festival in Indio, Calif., Friday night (April 10).

“It was electric,” Lara tells Billboard‘s Tetris Kelly of KATSEYE’s time on the Sahara Stage. “Our dreams came true last night. You know, every interview, if you’ve ever asked our biggest goal it was playing Coachella. We achieved that last night. so I think it’s so much gratitude.”

“It was bonkers,” she adds, as seen in video of KATSEYE’s full interview, seen above. “We went crazy.”

One of the headline-making moments of KATSEYE’s Coachella set: welcoming surprise guests HUNTR/X to their stage for a joint performance of the massive Kpop Demon Hunters hit “Golden.”

Yoonchae was quick to tell Billboard what the experience was like from their perspective: “I was so happy to bring HUNTR/X to our Coachella stage. They were really, really nice. They were so sweet. When we started to sing ‘Golden,’ we saw a lot of the crowd was screaming — they were so excited. I was so happy about that.”

“It’s really beautiful to have a joint slay on the stage at Coachella,” Sophia chimes in.

Perhaps the biggest personal moment for KATSEYE at Coachella was the group’s live debut of “Pinky Up,” the brand-new hyper-pop single they dropped just before performing it on the big stage. (The song is their first release without Manon.)

“We absolutely love, love, love the song,” Daniela says. “To perform it for the very first time, debut it at Coachella, was fire. I looked back at the videos and I was like, ‘Guys, we ate that.’ Especially the dance break. The crowd went wild.”

Megan adds of the track, “I think it’s one of our favorites. It’s very hard-hitting, something that makes us feel confident. I think it’s probably pretty high up there.”

“Pinky Up,” the new single from global girl group KATSEYE, tops this week’s fan-voted music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (April 10) on Billboard, choosing the five-piece’s latest song — their first to be released while member Manon is on hiatus — as their favorite new release of the week.

“Pinky Up” rose to the top in a week that saw new music streaming in from Lady Gaga and Doechii, Tiny Habits, The Strokes and more. At the poll’s closing time on Sunday, KATSEYE had earned 50% of the vote.

KATSEYE’s high-energy, hyper-pop new single — written by Justin Tranter and produced by dwilly, “hitman” bang and FRANTS — was accompanied by a dance-ready music video directed by Bardia Zeinali.

“Pinky Up” also got its live debut this week at Coachella, where the group performed Friday night.

“We absolutely love, love, love the song,” Daniela told Billboard on Saturday following KATSEYE’s show at the Indio, Calif., festival. “To perform it for the very first time, debut it at Coachella, was fire. I looked back at the videos and I was like, ‘Guys, we ate that.’ Especially the dance break. The crowd went wild.”

Megan added, “I think it’s one of our favorites. It’s very hard-hitting, something that makes us feel confident. I think it’s probably pretty high up there.”

Among the new releases trailing behind “Pinky Up” are Lady Gaga and Doechii’s “Runway,” with 12% of the vote, and Tiny Habits’ “Right in Front of Me,” with 10% of the vote.

Britney Spears has voluntarily entered a treatment facility, Billboard has learned.

A representative for the pop star confirmed to Billboard on Sunday (April 12) that Spears checked herself in, but did not specify the reason.

No further details were provided by Spears’ rep at press time.

TMZ reports the singer entered rehab for substance abuse treatment.

Spears’ decision to check herself into a treatment facility comes just over a month after a DUI arrest.

Spears was arrested for suspicion of a DUI on March 4 in Ventura County, Calif. She was booked by the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office and released from custody the following morning, March 5.

“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ rep said in a statement to Billboard following the arrest. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”

Her rep added, “Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”

Though Spears hasn’t commented on the incident herself, on March 27 the star returned to Instagram with a dance clip — alongside her 19-year-old son, Jayden Federline — to show appreciation to her fans, writing: “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing. Stay kind !!!”

In a more recent post on Instagram, amid more dance videos, Spears shared a stil snapshot of herself with the caption, “When peeps try to make you larger than life… tell them to BOW if I ever showed them the fragility of my real heart.”
