Kacey added to Weekend 2

Kacey Musgraves is headed back to Coachella for Weekend 2, with a Saturday afternoon set added days before the festival returns to Indio. (variety.com) The updated schedule lists Musgraves in the Mojave Tent from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, during Coachella’s second weekend, which runs April 17 through April 19. (desertsun.com) Her set lands in the same early Saturday Mojave slot that Jack White took as a surprise add for Weekend 1, according to Variety, Billboard and local station KESQ. (variety.com, billboard.com, kesq.com) This is Musgraves’ first Coachella performance since 2019, when she played the main stage during the festival’s first year after winning album of the year at the Grammy Awards for “Golden Hour.” (variety.com) The late addition keeps Coachella’s recent pattern of using set-time drops, not full lineup overhauls, to reveal surprise names between the festival’s two weekends. Jack White was disclosed the same way before Weekend 1. (variety.com, billboard.com) Weekend 2 also arrives with other scheduling changes. KESQ reported a slightly earlier start for Sabrina Carpenter, a later start for Karol G, and a new Quasar bill featuring DJ Snake with Knock2, RL Grime and Flosstradamus. (kesq.com) Musgraves teased the appearance on Instagram on Tuesday, April 14, before outlets matched the hint to the newly posted schedule. Billboard reported that the post referenced Coachella and her upcoming album “Middle of Nowhere,” due May 1. (billboard.com) For festivalgoers, the practical update is simple: the surprise act is no longer a rumor, and Saturday planners now have a confirmed 3 p.m. Mojave stop on the map.
