Kacey joins Weekend Two

Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend, giving Saturday’s schedule a new surprise set in the Mojave Tent. (thewrap.com) Festival organizers slotted Musgraves for 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, during Weekend Two at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Coachella’s official site lists the festival’s second weekend for April 17 through April 19, 2026. (thewrap.com) (coachella.com) The change also clarifies one of Weekend Two’s biggest questions: Jack White is not returning as the special guest after appearing in that Saturday Mojave slot during Weekend One. Pitchfork’s Weekend Two schedule report identifies Musgraves as the new addition instead. (pitchfork.com) Musgraves’ booking gives Weekend Two a different shape from Weekend One, even though Coachella usually repeats most of its lineup across both weekends. The Los Angeles Times counted her among the notable differences between the two 2026 weekends. (latimes.com) Her return also ends a long gap: TheWrap reported that Musgraves has not performed at Coachella in seven years, dating back to 2019. That makes the Saturday afternoon set her first appearance at the festival since before the pandemic-era shutdown of live events. (thewrap.com) Weekend Two’s revised schedule includes another change on the electronic side. The Press-Enterprise reported that DJ Rezz canceled her “Not for Radio” slot, and no replacement had been announced when the updated set times were published. (pressenterprise.com) Rezz said on social platform X that she was stepping back for health reasons after playing the festival’s first weekend. NME and EDM.com both reported that she wrote, “My body has been whispering for a while that I need a real break,” and said she had to put her health first. (nme.com) (edm.com) For fans heading to Indio this weekend, the practical takeaway is simple: Saturday’s Mojave Tent now belongs to Musgraves, and one electronic set has dropped off the board without a replacement. The rest of Weekend Two begins Friday, April 17, with the updated schedule now locked in. (thewrap.com) (pressenterprise.com)
