Kacey Musgraves was added to the Coachella lineup and slotted into the prominent 3 p.m. Mojave stage time, according to a social posting that announced the booking (threads.com).

Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend and is scheduled for a 3 to 3:50 p.m. Saturday set in the Mojave tent. (rollingstone.com) The updated festival schedule lists Coachella’s 2026 dates as April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19, with weekend-two performances beginning Friday in Indio, California. (coachella.com) The official Coachella livestream page says the festival is streaming both weekends on YouTube across seven stages, including April 17 to 19 for weekend two. (coachella.com) Musgraves’ set is a late lineup change. The Desert Sun reported Tuesday that she was added to the Saturday Mojave schedule for weekend two at 3 p.m. (desertsun.com) The Orange County Register reported that no replacement was named for Not for Radio and that DJ Rezz canceled her appearance as weekend-two set times shifted. (ocregister.com) Rolling Stone reported that this is Musgraves’ first Coachella appearance since 2019, when she last played the festival. (rollingstone.com) The booking lands as Musgraves is between album cycles. Her official store is taking preorders for an album titled *Middle of Nowhere*, and Rolling Stone reported Tuesday that the record is due May 1. (kaceymusgraves.com, rollingstone.com) Her most recent released studio album is *Deeper Well*, which MCA said came out on March 15, 2024, with a world tour announced in support of it. (mca.com) For Coachella, the practical change is simple: Saturday’s Mojave schedule now has one more marquee daytime name, and Musgraves is back in the desert before her next album arrives.
