Coachella marked Bieber’s first major public appearance since the conclusion of his *Justice* tour in 2022. The tour had been postponed and ultimately canceled due to a series of health issues. In the interim, Bieber performed only a handful of private gigs, television spots, and an invite-only club show for fans immediately before Coachella. The festival set featured guest appearances by Billie Eilish, SZA, Kid Laroi, and Dijon.

Spotify provided the streaming figures to *Rolling Stone* as part of its routine reporting on artist performance metrics. The data encompass monthly listener counts, daily streaming totals, and song-specific stream tallies for the period surrounding Bieber’s Coachella engagement.

The documented increase illustrates how a high-profile festival slot can generate substantial, cross-catalog streaming activity for an established artist. The rise in both legacy tracks (e.g., “Baby”) and newer releases (e.g., “Daisies”) suggests that live exposure can reactivate older material while amplifying recent output. The 42 percent rise in monthly listeners over a 24-day span highlights the measurable effect of high-visibility live events on streaming performance. For the streaming ecosystem, such spikes underscore the relevance of event-driven promotion in shaping listener behavior on a global scale.

As of early May, Bieber’s monthly listener count remains above the 140 million mark, indicating sustained audience engagement following Coachella. No further public performances have been announced in the source material.
