Kacey Musgraves joins Weekend 2

Coachella’s second weekend now includes Kacey Musgraves, a late addition to the Saturday bill in Indio, California. (coachella.com) The festival’s official site lists Coachella 2026 on April 17-19 for Weekend 2, one week after Weekend 1 on April 10-12. Riverside Press-Enterprise and sister papers reported Musgraves was added when the new set times went live on Tuesday, April 14. (coachella.com) (ocregister.com) Those reports said Musgraves was placed on Saturday’s schedule and that no replacement was named for Not for Radio. They also reported that DJ Rezz canceled her Weekend 2 appearance after citing health issues. (ocregister.com) (billboard.com) Weekend 2 set-time changes are part of Coachella’s annual pattern: the lineup is announced months ahead, then the daily schedule shifts after Weekend 1. This year’s official festival dates and livestream windows show the two-weekend format remains the same in 2026. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) For Musgraves, the add puts a country artist back into a festival that usually leans pop, hip-hop, electronic dance music, and indie rock. Yahoo and Billboard both reported this is her first Coachella performance since 2019. (yahoo.com 1) (yahoo.com 2) Third-party archives and concert records show Musgraves played Coachella in April 2019 during her “Oh, What a World” tour, after appearing on that year’s festival lineup. Coachella’s own past-festivals page lists 2019 among its archived editions. (setlist.fm) (jambase.com) (coachella.com) The immediate effect is practical for fans: anyone heading to the Empire Polo Club this weekend has a new Saturday set to plan around and one electronic act fewer on the schedule. The broader picture is simpler — Coachella’s second weekend is not a carbon copy of the first, and this year Kacey Musgraves is one of the clearest examples. (ocregister.com) (coachella.com)
