Justin Bieber pulled off a two-fer over the weekend when he dropped the moody, black-and-white video for his Swag II single “Speed Demon.” In the clip, Bieber walks across the empty, manicured fields at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif., which also happens to be the site of the Coachella Festival, which he will headline next year.

Wearing long shorts and a T-shirt with the word “holy.” on the front and “pray for me” on the back, Bieber bops across the lawn, singing and gesticulating along to the tune’s chilled-out beat. Shot and edited by Rory Kramer (Chainsmokers, Shawn Mendes), the clip has a casual, low-fi vibe matching the surprise, low-key Swag roll-out. Bieber posted the clip on his Instagram with the caption, “see u in april.

The singer also made it a family affair, posting a second Insta from the polo fields in which he’s carrying his one-year-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, and a second one in which he and wife Hailey Bieber each hold one of the toddler’s hands as they walk together over the lush grass. “Speed Demon” landed at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in its first week on the chart.

Last week, organizers announced that Bieber will be among the headliners of next year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G on April 10-12 and April 17-19. They will join a stacked lineup that will also include sets from: the XX, Nine Inch Noize, Disclosure, Turnstile, Ethel Cain, Teddy Swims, The Strokes, Giveon, Addison Rae, Labrinth, SOMBR, Young Thug, Kaskade, BIGBANG, Laufey, Major Lazer, Iggy Pop and Wet Leg, among others.

Though Bieber has jumped up with other acts at Coachella in the past (Tems and WizKid in 2024, Daniel Caesar in 2022, Ariana Grande 2019), next year will mark his first-ever headlining slot at the event. To date, Bieber has not announced a tour in support of Swag/Swag II. The singer has not hit the road since 2022, when he canceled his Justice world tour due to complications from Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which included partial facial paralysis.
