Kacey Musgraves added to Coachella
Kacey Musgraves was announced as a surprise performer for Coachella Weekend Two (April 17–19), giving Weekend Two at least one confirmed marquee addition. (variety.com) Variety’s report presents the booking as an official festival update ahead of the weekend’s lineup shifts. (variety.com)
Kacey Musgraves will play Coachella’s second weekend, giving the April 17-19 festival run a new late addition. (variety.com) Organizers folded Musgraves into the Weekend Two schedule released April 14, with a Saturday set in the Mojave tent from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. (variety.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival is split across two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California: April 10-12 and April 17-19. The event’s originally announced headliners included Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G. (coachellavalley.com) Musgraves’ booking gives Weekend Two at least one confirmed lineup change after Weekend One, where Jack White appeared as a surprise addition in the same general Saturday afternoon window. (rollingstone.com) That matters at Coachella because the two weekends often share a core bill but not an identical one; set times, guest appearances and occasional replacements can shift after the first weekend plays out. Local coverage of the new schedule also reported other changes, including DJ Rezz canceling her appearance. (kesq.com) For Musgraves, the return ends a seven-year gap between Coachella performances. Variety and Rolling Stone both said this is her first time back at the festival since 2019. (variety.com, rollingstone.com) Fans who are not in Indio will still be able to watch Weekend Two remotely. Coachella’s official YouTube schedule says the festival livestream starts April 17 at 4 p.m. Pacific time. (youtube.com) The practical takeaway is simple: Weekend Two is no longer just a replay of Weekend One, and Musgraves is now one of the clearest reasons to watch Saturday’s Mojave schedule closely.
