Bieber has inevitably raised the stakes for those who waited till the last minute to purchase their tickets to the upcoming Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. The ticket prices have gone as high as thousands of dollars shortly after a clip went viral of a fan hearing his rehearsal from a distance.

The leaked clip posted on TikTok shows the fan vibing to the artist’s songs and voice in the background. Classic Bieber tunes like “Baby,” “One Less Lonely Girl,” and “Beauty and A Beat” echoed from the distant speakers. The waves of nostalgia hitting fans as they heard the tunes sent many into a spiral, which erupted into ticket chaos.

Fans have been scrambling to get the tickets to the event, and the prices are through the roof. Resale tickets are going for as high as $4000 for general admission weekend passes, and according to TMZ, they started at $649 back in September.

The Artist’s Performance May Be One Of A Lifetime

The “Lifetime” singer may not be back on stage for a while. His last tour was in 2022, which he did not complete after he received a shocking health update. Bieber was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, and so, he had to cancel the tour early.

According to the Mayo Clinic, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome is caused when the varicella-zoster virus affects certain nerves of the face. It causes a painful rash called shingles that affects the ears and/or face and mouth.  The shingles may cause loss of movement of one side of the face, changes in hearing, taste, and balance. 

There have been whispers that the former child singer may not be going on tour anytime soon, so this Coachella performance may mark the last time he’ll be on stage in a long time. This could also be the reason why the musician has reportedly been out there sound-checking all his throwback hits, similar to what Taylor Swift did on her “Eras Tour.”

Justin Bieber Bagged A Multi-Million Dollar Deal Without An Agency

Bieber reportedly set his name in lights in Coachella’s history without a third party. The iconic singer made waves last year after signing the $10 million deal. This deal added a gem to his name as the music event’s highest-paid headliner, earning a seven-figure payout and becoming the first to do so directly, without using an agency.

The Blast reported that the artist is to be paid the lump sum for two weekends of performance. The total amount goes directly to Bieber as he negotiated his headlining fee with Goldenvoice without a third party, hence no worries about paying agency commission.

Bieber is no stranger to the Coachella stage, but this marks his debut solo performance. He performed his hit song “Sorry” with Ariana Grande, who headlined Coachella in 2019. In 2022, he sang “Peaches” alongside Daniel Caesar, and in 2024, with Nigerian artists Tems and WizKid, the father of one collaborated on “Essence.”

The entertainment industry is so broad, and Bieber is not done exploring his wits. Despite his huge standing in the music world, the artist decided to test the waters as a streamer. He announced last October that he would officially start streaming live on Twitch.

His first stream was filmed on a massive soundstage with an indoor basketball court, a golf course, a skateboard half-pipe, and a large pool table, as reported by The Blast. The stream, however, did not mix with his musical personality but rather was focused on his sporty side.

During the livestream, the “Sorry” singer played basketball with his friends for about 35 minutes before playing a game of pool, ping-pong, and riding on his skateboard later on. The music icon did not really interact with the thousands of fans who tuned in to watch the session until the last few minutes before he signed off, where he gave a quick tour of the soundstage.

Even though his career continues to rise to greatness, the artist has faced his fair share of challenges, especially with people in his circle. In recent years, Bieber reportedly had to cut ties with long-time friend Usher after the revelation about Sean “Diddy” Combs made headlines.

Usher and Bieber were close for almost two decades and have fostered a healthy relationship since the start of the “Baby” Singer’s career as a teenager. An insider shared that after the allegations against Diddy came to light, Bieber began to reevaluate his relationships. During the 2026 Oscars private after-party, Usher reportedly confronted his former protégé, and the interaction allegedly turned physical. 

While neither party has spoken to confirm or deny the altercation, The Blast reports that insiders shared insight into the reason behind the feud. “This didn’t start that night. It’s been simmering for a long time, “Justin feels like he’s finally seeing things clearly, and he does not like what he sees,” the source revealed.
