Justin Bieber performed "Yukon" at the 2026 Grammys.

The performance was stripped down, literally. Bieber came on stage, alone, shirtless and in boxers to perform his SWAG hit with a drum machine that he used to loop his vocals and guitar. It was a surprisingly vulnerable showing for the superstar, who also suffered a minor gaffe when he walked offstage and then returned to turn off the loop machine.

The performance was the SWAG singer's first Grammy appearance since 2022, when he performed "Peaches" with Daniel Caesar and Giveon. It also marked Bieber's first live performance since his surprise release of SWAG and SWAG II in 2025.

Bieber's Grammy performance is a taste of his forthcoming headline show at Coachella 2026. The "Yukon" singer will be joining Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G as headliners at the major California festival.
