Justin Bieber Delivers ‘Daisies’ and ‘Yukon’ at First U.S. Show in Four Years

Ahead of his headlining Coachella set, the pop star performed an invite-only club gig for fans that exclusively featured songs from Swag and Swag II

Justin Bieber performed at the Roxy in Los Angeles Sunday night, delivering his first major show in the U.S. in four years as he prepares for his headlining set at Coachella.

The private club gig boasted a 25-song set, comprised entirely of songs from Bieber’s two 2025 albums, Swag and Swag II (per Setlist.fm and a photo shared on social media). Bieber appeared to perform two “regular” sets, as well as an “acoustic set,” which featured renditions of tracks like “Mother in You,” “Things You Do,” and “Dotted Line.”


While it appears Bieber implemented a strict no-phone policy, a few short videos have made their way online. These include a pair of clips that show Bieber leading a very hyped-up crowd in a rendition of his hit single, “Daisies” (which fittingly closed out the show).

There’s also a short snippet of Bieber singing “Yukon,” with his fans eagerly assisting him in singing the hook.


With the caveat that this was an invite-only event for fans, the Roxy gig arguably was Bieber’s first full-fledged, public concert since his Justice tour ended in 2022. (Bieber postponed, and then canceled, the run while dealing with a series of health issues.) Since then, the pop star has largely been absent from the stage, outside a handful of private gigs (like a 2024 set at the extravagant wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, the children of two Indian billionaires) and some scattered TV performances (like the 2024 NHL All-Star game and the Grammys in February). Last November, Bieber livestreamed a 10-song performance on Twitch, though it primarily featured his older material and nothing from Swag.

The Roxy gig was almost certainly a warm-up gig ahead of Coachella, which Bieber is set to headline along with Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. Weekend one of Coachella is set for April 10 through 12, while weekend two will take place April 17 through 19.

Remembering Sick of It All’s Lou Koller, New York Hardcore’s Best Ambassador

“We have our mics, but this is your mic.” When I saw Sick of It All play a gig in Denver in 2001, a couple of years before I moved to New York, it seemed like a revelation that a professional band would place a microphone on the Ogden Theatre’s stage for anyone to climb up and sing along with them before diving back into the pit. He also asked for everyone to look out for each other in the mosh pit. I was a metalhead, a few years into college, and still relatively fresh to New York hardcore. Metal bands didn’t do things like that. Little did I know that sense of community had been a staple of hardcore shows in New York for decades at that point.

Sean Combs Placed in Solitary Confinement After Brawl With Fellow Inmate: Reports

Sean Combs was involved in a fight with another inmate at Fort Dix earlier this week, resulting in the Bad Boy founder being sent to solitary confinement, a source familiar with the incident confirmed to Rolling Stone.

A fellow inmate at the low-security federal prison in New Jersey allegedly taunted Combs, who reportedly lashed out at the man, TMZ first reported. The pair are said to have exchanged shoves and throws, before prison guards were able to separate them. Afterwards, Combs was reportedly put in solitary confinement. It is not clear if the other inmate was also reprimanded for his part in the scuffle.

Charli XCX Makes the Most of Her Moment With ‘Music, Fashion, Film’

For more than a decade, Charli XCX was a secret weapon, a brazen experimentalist, a raw diarist, and (apologies to Chappell Roan) your favorite artist’s favorite artist. But she was not, exactly, a pop star — the kind that fills arenas,covers magazines,performs at the Grammys, and has the masses hanging on her every word. The British musician’s culture-shifting 2024 electro-pop confessionalBrat changed all that, lifting her name from “also starring” to above the title. Who better to churn out a 30-minute treatise on the art of image-making?

Charli is well on her way to mastering all three mediums spelled out in the title of her new LP, Music, Fashion, Film. But the story of her seventh studio album has been its seeming swerve, as announced by its first single, “Rock Music.” The track — with its croaking guitar, cymbal smashes, and stuttering vocals — sounds nothing like Brat’s gleaming, clubby gems (or the bouncy pop-punk of her 2014 LP Sucker, for that matter). But it doesn’t define an aesthetic as much as an ethos: hanging around and making stuff with your friends. As another hitmaking iconoclast once said, it’s still rock & roll to me.

Hear U2, Martin Garrix Team Up for Anthemic Single ‘Fireflies’

U2 and Martin Garrix released a joint single, “Fireflies.” Garrix premiered the track live during his headlining set at Tomorrowland last Friday, which feature a surprise appearance from The Edge.

The soaring track marks the first time all four members of U2 have appeared on a song with Garrix, although the band members have a long history of working with the producer. Most recently, Garrix produced “Scars,” featured on U2’s latest EP, Easter Lily. In 2019, Martin collaborated with Bono and The Edge on “We Are the People,” written for the UEFA European Football Championship. He also produced the U2 track “Your Song Saved My Life” that appeared on the Sing 2 soundtrack. Bono has also co-written Garrix singles like “Angels for Each Other,” Catherina,” and “Weightless.”
