Justin Bieber Negotiates Record $10M Coachella Headline Pay

Justin Bieber has secured a landmark $10 million deal to headline the Coachella Music Festival, making him the highest-paid performer in the event's history. He negotiated the deal directly with Goldenvoice, the festival's promoter, bypassing traditional agents or management, which is a unique move for a headliner of his stature. Bieber's payment, reportedly over $5 million per weekend, surpasses those of past top acts like Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, and The Weeknd. This deal coincides with the release of his seventh studio album "Swag" and its follow-up, marking a new era in his career where he is fully in control. Bieber will headline both Saturdays of the two-weekend festival in Indio, California, alongside other major artists like Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G. His negotiation and record-breaking payday highlight his independent approach following his split with longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2023 and a resolved financial dispute.
