Justin Bieber made a surprise appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2025, joining Nigerian singer Tems on stage during her weekend one performance. The pop star performed a rendition of Wizkid's hit song "Essence," on which Tems is featured.
The unannounced guest spot, which occurred on April 12, 2025, marked one of Bieber's first major public performances since the conclusion of his Justice World Tour in 2022. His appearance was brief but generated significant buzz among fans and media in attendance.
The performance has fueled widespread speculation about a potential full-scale musical comeback for the singer, who has taken breaks from touring in recent years, citing health reasons including Ramsay Hunt syndrome. No new music or official tour dates were announced in direct connection with the Coachella appearance.
Coachella 2025 was headlined by artists including Doja Cat and Tyler, The Creator. Bieber's last solo headlining performance at the festival was in 2012.
