How Did Justin Bieber Play a Concert in L.A. Before Coachella (And What Is a Radius Clause)?

Experts weigh in on how the star was able to perform at the Roxy on Sunday despite Coachella's strict ban on playing local shows leading up to the festival.

Ahead of his Coachella headlining performances on April 11 and 18, Justin Bieber performed an invite-only surprise set at The Roxy in West Hollywood on Sunday night (March 29), where he treated fans in attendance to the live debuts of tracks from his 2025 albums Swag and Swag II.

“You’re invited to something special from Justin Bieber,” an email containing a “unique presale purchase link” sent to select fans ahead of the show read, according to a screenshot shared to Instagram. “This is a private, invite-only experience — please keep this strictly confidential. Any public sharing may result in the invite being revoked.”
