Justin Bieber brought out a host of special guests during his Coachella weekend two set — including one superfan: Billie Eilish.

The 32-year-old pop superstar took the stage in Indio, California, for his second headlining performance on Saturday (April 18), where he welcomed self-proclaimed diehard Eilish for a rendition of his 2009 track “One Less Lonely Girl.”


During the serenade, the two artists laughed and embraced as Bieber sat Eilish on a stool during a segment of the set that revisited his early YouTube-era videos.

Eilish has previously spoken about her friendship with Bieber, noting that he offered her support early in her career.

“He’s a good friend of mine,” she told SiriusXM Hits 1’s Morning Mash Up in 2020. “He, you know, has been so helpful for me, in terms of just, like, dealing with fame. And he’ll call me sometimes and just say stuff that makes me just feel heard, and like there’s somebody else that goes through the same stuff. So it’s really nice to have him.”

Later in the Coachella set, Bieber welcomed SZA for an acoustic duet of her 2022 track “Snooze,” as well as Sexyy Red for “Sweet Spot.” The pop star also brought out Big Sean for performances of “As Long As You Love Me” and “No Pressure.”

Bieber logged his biggest streaming day of 2026 on Sunday (April 12), following his widely discussed opening weekend Coachella headlining set, where he primarily performed songs from his 2025 Swag album alongside a mid-set segment revisiting and performing over his early YouTube-era hits. He earned 24.6 million streams that day, marking his highest total since July 2025, according to Luminate.

Speaking with Billboard‘s executive editor Lyndsey Havens, Duff reflected on the moments when she decided that she wanted to tour behind her hit album luck… or something, a run that brought her back out on the road after an almost 20-year hiatus from touring.
