Justin Bieber broke several Coachella records in 2026, including becoming the highest-paid artist in the festival's history and selling the most merch in a single weekend through his clothing brand Skylrk. The Skylrk merch line, which features high-end, artist-driven fashion, generated $5.04 million in sales over the first weekend of Coachella, nearly tripling the previous two-weekend record.

Why it matters

As more artists launch their own fashion brands, Bieber's success with Skylrk could provide a blueprint for a stronger integration between performers' fashion and music projects. In the age of superfandoms, merch is already a big business opportunity, and Bieber's ability to generate strong media impact value (MIV) for the Skylrk brand demonstrates the power of artist-driven fashion lines.

The details

Bieber sold $5.04 million worth of Skylrk product over the first weekend of Coachella, beating the festival's previous two-weekend record of $1.7 million. Skylrk had an advantage by selling product at both the artist merch tent and the Skylrk Shop, a dedicated brand space next to the Skylrk Oasis. The goal was to produce merch with higher quality and a more distinct brand identity. Bieber is the second artist to develop and produce merch under his own label, following Travis Scott's Cactus Jack in 2025.

• Bieber officially founded Skylrk less than a year ago, in July 2025.
• Bieber began teasing the Skylrk clothing brand back in December 2023.
• Throughout 2024, Bieber and his wife Hailey Bieber wore the brand consistently.
• Bieber officially debuted the Skylrk site in 2025.

What’s next

Skylrk plans to make the record-breaking Coachella merch available to non-festival goers, allowing more fans to get their hands on the in-demand products.
