Kacey Musgraves added

Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend, with organizers slotting her into Saturday’s Mojave Tent schedule in Indio, California. (thewrap.com) The set-time update released Tuesday lists Musgraves for Saturday, April 18, from 3:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. in the Mojave Tent. Variety reported the booking appeared in the weekend-two schedule rather than the original lineup rollout. (variety.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival runs across two weekends, April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio. Goldenvoice announced the broader 2026 lineup in September with Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G, Anyma, the xx, the Strokes, Young Thug and BIGBANG among the billed acts. (coachellavalley.com) Musgraves last played Coachella in April 2019, making this her first performance at the festival in seven years. Variety said her new slot is the same Mojave Tent window that Jack White filled as a surprise performer during weekend one. (variety.com) Late schedule changes have become part of Coachella’s second-weekend playbook, with organizers using set-time drops to reveal unannounced acts and adjust for cancellations. The Orange County Register reported Musgraves was added to Saturday’s lineup while no replacement was named for Not for Radio and DJ Rezz canceled her appearance. (ocregister.com) The booking also lands just over two weeks before Musgraves’ next album, “Middle of Nowhere,” is due on May 1. Variety reported she released the first single, “Dry Spell,” last month and plans guest appearances from Miranda Lambert, Willie Nelson, Billy Strings and Gregory Alan Isakov on the record. (variety.com) Her 2019 Coachella appearance came during the “Oh, What a World Tour,” with setlist records showing songs including “Slow Burn,” “Butterflies,” “Rainbow” and “High Horse.” That earlier appearance helped fix Musgraves in Coachella’s pop-country lane before her return this weekend. (setlist.fm) Weekend two starts Friday, April 17, and Musgraves is now on the Saturday grid rather than in the festival’s original poster billing. For Coachella fans scanning the app for last-minute changes, that makes her return both a booking update and one of the weekend’s clearest draws. (coachella.com)
