Justin previously hadn’t performed in front of a stadium-sized crowd since his surprise appearance at Coachella in 2024, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A year prior, Justin and SZA starred together in the music video for “Snooze.”
Justin’s surprise moment during the Grand National Tour came a day after Hailey shared a photo on her Instagram Stories to mark their son Jack Blues turning 9 months old.
“My sweet baby is 9 months old today,” she captioned a black and white snap of Jack sitting on the floor with his back to the camera.
The couple — who married in 2018 — announced the birth of their first child in August 2024.
