Coachella has reshuffled Weekend 2 before gates open, adding Kacey Musgraves and revising several set times for April 17 to 19. (pitchfork.com) The new schedule puts Musgraves in the Mojave Tent on Saturday, April 18, from 3:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m., marking her first Coachella appearance since 2019. Rolling Stone reported she teased the booking on social media before organizers made it official. (rollingstone.com) Local station KESQ reported that Sabrina Carpenter’s Weekend 2 set starts earlier than it did in Weekend 1, while Karol G’s set moves later. Coachella posted the revised set times on Tuesday, April 14, two days before the second weekend begins in Indio, California. (kesq.com) Those updates follow a first weekend that already produced lineup changes. KESQ reported that Jack White was added for Weekend 1 when Coachella released those earlier set times. (kesq.com) Weekend 2 schedules often change after organizers see how the first three days run in real time, from stage turnover to crowd flow. This year’s second-weekend edits also arrive after weather disrupted at least one major electronic set during Weekend 1. (variety.com) Another Weekend 2 change came from the lineup itself: Rezz said she is canceling her Sahara Tent performance because of health issues. Variety reported that the Canadian electronic artist said she had been pushing through problems and needed “a real break.” (variety.com) Coachella 2026 was announced last September with Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, Justin Bieber, and Anyma among the top-billed acts, and Rolling Stone later reported the festival had sold out. That makes even small timetable changes consequential for fans planning conflicts across the Empire Polo Club’s multiple stages. (rollingstone.com; rollingstone.com) For Weekend 2 ticketholders, the practical takeaway is simple: the schedule they saw last weekend is no longer the schedule for April 17 to 19. The current version now includes Musgraves, new start times for some marquee sets, and one fewer Rezz performance. (pitchfork.com; kesq.com; variety.com)
