It seems Kylie and Timothée attempted to keep a low-profile as he rocked a camouflage baseball cap and a purple bandanna over his face,

Festival goers were so excited to see the headliner perform that the whole event had been dubbed 'Bieberchella' among fans, who couldn't wait to see his stage return.

In stark contrast, the Day 1 headliner -

Ahead of the event, many had shared their desperation to hear Bieber play some of his old hits, but these were only heard in snippets as he sang along to clips.

The 32-year-old pop act has appeared as a surprise guest artist four times at the festival in support of , , Daniel Caesar and Tems.

But on a late-night set on Day 2 of this year's festival, he made his debut at the top of the bill, delivering a set for which he was reportedly paid $10million.

His set was scheduled for an already late 11.25pm start time, and rumors circulated in the run-up to his set that the high desert winds might delay him even further.

Although he arrived on time to a burst of cheers and applause, he emerged dressed down in shorts, a hoodie and shades and proceeded to launch into a string of his lesser-known recent numbers, mostly neglecting his older hits.

Not everyone was let down, as some admitted they thought the show was 'raw and stripped back', especially the segment where Justin sat on a stool with his laptop next to him, pulling up old videos and checking the livestream to see what people wanted.

This included a medley of blink-and-miss it snippets of his beloved songs like Baby, Favorite Girl, Beauty and a Beat, Never Say Never and Confident.

He also played viral clips such as his now infamous 'is it not clocking to you' moment as well as other internet classics such as 'deez nuts' and the 'double rainbow' clip.

Bieber wasn't afraid to poke fun at himself, as this section also included videos of him walking into a glass door and falling off stage.

However he stuck mostly to a set that had fans reacting online with mingled disappointment and derision, posting remarks like: 'Justin Bieber headlined Coachella just to not play any of his classics lmao,' and: 'There's just no way Coachella paid Justin Bieber 8 mil to dress up like Jesse Pinkman.'

'I cannot imagine paying thousands of dollars to watch Justin Bieber sound a mess and walk around in a hoodie and glasses. This is insulting to his fans,' fumed one.

Others wrote: 'I hate the outfit sucks band and the low rent hip hop,' and: 'Justin Bieber got paid 10 million just to walk around this damn stage??'

'That's what happens when you sell your catalog and you're only left with your last album that nobody knows,' theorized another viewer.

Another saw a 'night and day difference' between his low-key set and the high-energy extravaganza offered up by Sabrina Carpenter the previous night.

'Sorry biebs but it snot giving,' one fan said gently, while another reacted more scathingly: 'justin rlly up there headlining coachella w/ just a mic & his macbook??'

Some even branded his show 'the worst in the festival's history', while others questioned why he'd been paid such an eye-watering amount, and called for a production on par with previous headliners.

Bieber's concert had been highly anticipated after he was forced to abandon his 2022 tour due to health concerns after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
