Wizkid And Tems Will Perform With Justin Bieber At Coachella 2026

Wizkid and Tems performed alongside Justin Bieber during his headlining set at the 2026 Coachella festival, showcasing the remix of “Essence.”

Bieber’s much-anticipated Coachella debut on Saturday night created a memorable moment at the festival, thanks in part to the collaboration with two prominent Nigerian artists. As his personal set concluded at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, Bieber was joined by Tems and Wizkid for a live rendition of “Essence,” a track that first united the artists in 2021.

Tems captured the audience’s attention during Bieber’s performance, showcasing her talent as one of today’s leading voices. What began as a surprise performance evolved into a significant highlight of the event. Tems first joined Bieber for “I Think You’re Special,” and then Wizkid appeared to perform “Essence.”

Tems was already expressing the opening verse of “Essence” when Wizkid arrived, bringing a smile to her face. The two artists exchanged lyrics before Bieber appeared to enthusiastic applause. The audience reacted strongly as the three musicians, who contributed to the song’s global success, shared the stage in a moment that felt like a culmination of five years of collaboration.

Bieber’s return marks a significant transition for one of the biggest names in pop music. He had previously canceled tour dates due to health concerns, sold his publishing catalog, embraced fatherhood, and ended his long-term management deal with Scooter Braun. He recently released his first album in four years, titled “Swag” along with its deluxe version “Swag II,” which garnered a Grammy nomination for album of the year.
