Kacey Musgraves added to Coachella
Coachella Weekend Two announced Kacey Musgraves as the surprise guest for Saturday, replacing the previously expected Jack White appearance on that slot. Local reporting confirms Musgraves was added to the Saturday lineup while DJ Rezz canceled her set and a replacement for Not for Radio hasn’t been named ( ).
Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend, taking a Saturday afternoon Mojave tent slot on April 18. (variety.com) Variety reported Musgraves will play from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, at the Indio festival’s Mojave stage area. The official Coachella site lists the festival’s second weekend as April 17 to April 19, 2026. (variety.com, coachella.com) The addition came with other schedule changes for weekend two. The Riverside Press-Enterprise reported that DJ Rezz canceled her set and that no replacement had been named for Not for Radio. (pressenterprise.com) Weekend one and weekend two at Coachella usually share nearly the same lineup, but surprise slots and last-minute swaps can change the schedule between Fridays and Sundays in Indio. The Desert Sun reported Jack White filled the comparable surprise slot during weekend one. (desertsun.com) Musgraves has not played Coachella since 2019, according to Variety and Rolling Stone. Her return puts a country artist back into one of the festival’s most closely watched late-added bookings. (variety.com, rollingstone.com) Rezz said on Instagram on April 14 that she had to “put my health first,” and Billboard reported she withdrew after performing weekend one in the Sahara Tent on April 11. Her cancellation leaves one of the bigger electronic-music changes on the revised schedule. (billboard.com, yahoo.com) Not for Radio’s status has been unusual for weeks. Scenestar reported on March 27 that the act had been added for Coachella 2026 and said there were no plans for a weekend two performance, which matches the new reports that no replacement has been announced. (thescenestar.com, pressenterprise.com) For fans heading to the desert this week, the practical change is simple: Saturday’s weekend-two schedule now includes Musgraves, while at least two other lineup questions remain unresolved. Coachella’s official livestream page says performances will stream again from April 17 to April 19. (coachella.com, pressenterprise.com)
