Kacey Musgraves added to Coachella

Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend and is scheduled for a Saturday set in the Mojave tent at 3 p.m. (ocregister.com) Weekend 2 runs April 17 to April 19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, and Coachella released the updated set times on Tuesday, April 14. Organizers kept Musgraves in the same early-afternoon Mojave slot that went to Jack White during Weekend 1. (coachellavalley.com) (kesq.com 1) (kesq.com 2) Musgraves is set to play Saturday, April 18, from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. in Mojave, according to multiple reports published after the schedule drop. KESQ reported that no replacement was named for Not for Radio, and that DJ Rezz canceled her appearance. (yahoo.com) (kesq.com) That 3 p.m. Mojave slot has become a recurring place for Coachella’s late adds. KESQ reported that Jack White played there on April 11, and that Ed Sheeran and Weezer took the same slot in 2025. (kesq.com) The change lands after a first weekend that leaned heavily into pop stars and international acts. Louisiana State University’s Reveille described the 2026 edition as one of Coachella’s most globally diverse and pop-driven lineups to date. (lsureveille.com) Weekend 1 also produced several representation milestones. Rolling Stone said Karol G became the first Latina headliner in festival history, and BINI became the first Filipino group to perform at Coachella. (rollingstone.com 1) (rollingstone.com 2) Coachella announced its 2026 lineup in September with Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber and Karol G at the top of the bill, and the festival is marking its 25th anniversary this year. The main event spans two weekends, April 10 to April 12 and April 17 to April 19. (coachellavalley.com) (coachella.com) Weekend 2 usually repeats most of Weekend 1’s schedule, but the set-time release is where Coachella often makes its last visible adjustments. This year, one of those adjustments is a country star stepping into the desert’s now-watched Saturday afternoon Mojave opening. (kesq.com)
