A listing on setlist.fm shows Justin Bieber performing an acoustic set at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles on Tuesday, marking the pop star's name appearing at the park once again five years after he performed for elementary schoolers at a welcome-back event.
According to the entry on setlist.fm, the September 22 appearance is catalogued as an acoustic set, though the site itself cautions that the listing is likely incomplete and out of order. That caveat means the full lineup of songs and their sequence from Tuesday's performance hasn't been confirmed.
A Familiar Backdrop for Bieber
This isn't the first time Bieber's name has been tied to MacArthur Park. Back in April 2021, he performed at MacArthur Park Visual and Performing Arts Elementary during a welcome-back event hosted by Baby2Baby and Amazon, according to Billboard. That event was designed to welcome students back to campus after a year of remote learning during the pandemic, and Bieber performed “Intentions,” “Holy” and other singles for the kids.
At the 2021 event, Bieber performed “Intentions” and “Holy” for the children. Kelly Rowland, a board member and ambassador for Baby2Baby, was on hand to hand out school supplies and toys to the children that day. The earlier show was part of Baby2Baby and Amazon's Welcome-Back Charity Event.
What's Confirmed and What Isn't
As for Tuesday's listing, the details beyond the acoustic-set description remain thin. The setlist.fm page for the 2026 date doesn't specify who organized the appearance, who attended, how long it lasted, or exactly where within the park it took place. Given the site's own warning that the entry may be incomplete and out of order, any full song-by-song breakdown of what Bieber played should be treated as unverified for now.
The 2026 set came five years after Bieber performed at a welcome-back event for students at a downtown Los Angeles elementary school.
