Pop icon Justin Bieber has joined the live streaming platform Twitch, giving fans a close look into his personal life and preparation for his upcoming Coachella 2026 performance. From playing basketball to chatting about health and relationships, Bieber’s streams promise to bring fans even closer to the artist they’ve grown up with.
For more than half his life, Justin Bieber has been a part of our screens — from his YouTube beginnings to global fame as one of the biggest pop stars in the world. But this time, Bieber is taking his connection with fans to a whole new level. On Wednesday, October 22, the “Peaches” singer made his debut on Twitch, the popular live streaming platform. And this wasn’t just another celebrity cameo — Bieber promised his fans that he’d be going live almost every day to share moments from his life, his music, and even his basketball games.
Bieber’s first Twitch stream had a relaxed, friendly vibe that made it feel like fans were hanging out with him in person. The live session took place inside a large warehouse that he’s turned into a creative playground. The space included a mini half-pipe for skating, a recording studio, a ping-pong table, a basketball court, and a cozy lounge area. There was even a small play area for his son, Jack Blues, showing how Bieber’s life as a father blends beautifully with his passion for music and fun.
The stream opened with scenes of Bieber shooting hoops with his friends. He wasn’t just showing off his basketball skills — he was also reflecting on what matters most to him now. As background music played, specifically Partynextdoor’s “Come and See Me,” Bieber spoke about his new priorities. “I’m focusing on my health and friendships, relationships, the ability to connect with each other,” he said. His tone was calm, honest, and full of warmth, as if he was letting his fans peek into his thoughts.
For a long time, Justin has been known for his larger-than-life concerts and his ever-changing musical style. But this Twitch stream showed a different side — a softer, more genuine Justin, who enjoys small moments of joy. There were times when the camera simply followed his crew wandering around or sitting together listening to mellow R&B tunes. The atmosphere was laid-back, and Bieber acted more like a friend chilling on a Sunday afternoon than a global superstar.
At one point, the singer showed off his basketball tricks, even landing a long shot from near the foul line — while sitting in a chair! The fans watching the stream filled the chat with excitement and love, cheering him on in real-time. It was a reminder of how naturally entertaining Bieber can be, even when he’s not performing on a big stage.
Soon, the mood shifted to another corner of the warehouse, where Bieber and his friends started a game of pool. The singer, in a relaxed hoodie, smiled and yawned while getting ready to play. It was clear he wasn’t trying to impress anyone; he just wanted to be himself. These simple, candid moments made fans feel like they were part of his inner circle, watching him unwind and enjoy the calm before something big.
And then, Bieber dropped the news everyone was waiting for. Holding the camera himself, he revealed something major — his upcoming headlining performance at Coachella 2026. It’s going to be his first big live concert since 2022, and fans around the world immediately started buzzing with excitement. With a big smile, Bieber said, “This is our space for the next few months, so excited. I’m gonna be putting on a hell of a show for you guys at Coachella. I can’t wait. So getting ready, getting the gang together, get inspired. So Beautiful.”
Those words carried the same energy that once made Bieber a teenage sensation — that mix of passion, gratitude, and eagerness to create something unforgettable. Even though the stream was casual, the announcement turned it into a global headline within hours. Social media platforms lit up with fans sharing their excitement, saying how happy they were to see Bieber feeling inspired again.
The stream ended with Bieber thanking his viewers and promising more regular content. Speaking directly to the camera, he added, “It’s gonna be awesome.” It was simple but heartfelt — just like the rest of the stream. For Bieber, this new chapter isn’t just about performing again; it’s about reconnecting with his audience in a raw and real way.
His choice to join Twitch also says a lot about how celebrities today want to connect with fans. Instead of just posting on Instagram or releasing music videos, Bieber wants his followers to see the real moments behind the spotlight — the laughter, the quiet talks, and the daily routines that make him who he is. Twitch gives him a space to do that without filters or fancy edits, and that’s what makes it so special.
Bieber’s fans have seen him grow from a 13-year-old YouTube kid to a global superstar, and they’ve stood by him through his highs and lows. Now, as he embraces this new digital adventure, it feels like he’s returning to his roots — sharing real-time, unpolished, and honest glimpses of his world.
Over the years, Justin has often spoken about mental health and the importance of slowing down. After facing struggles and taking a break from performing, he seems to be entering a much healthier and happier phase of his life. His Twitch setup, filled with friends, music, and family, feels like a reflection of that balance.
Fans are now eagerly waiting to see what Bieber will share next — will he preview new music, show behind-the-scenes moments from his Coachella prep, or just keep chatting about life while shooting hoops? One thing’s for sure: whatever he does, millions will be tuning in.
Justin Bieber’s decision to stream regularly also reminds everyone that fame doesn’t have to mean distance. Sometimes, it can mean sitting in front of a camera, sharing small joys, and just being real. In a world where everything seems polished and perfect, Bieber’s new journey feels refreshingly human.
