Justin Bieber solidified his status as a Coachella icon on Saturday night by enlisting an array of high-profile collaborators for his second headlining set in the California desert. The Canadian pop superstar significantly leveled up his performance compared to the previous weekend by bringing out Billie Eilish, SZA, and Big Sean to the main stage at the Empire Polo Club.
