Musgraves joins Coachella

Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend as a surprise Saturday performer, giving the April 17–19 run in Indio a new late lineup change. (latimes.com) Musgraves is scheduled to play the Mojave Tent on Saturday, April 18, from 3:00 to 3:50 p.m., according to the weekend-two set times released this week. (ocregister.com) The festival’s official lineup page lists Coachella 2026 across two weekends, April 10–12 and April 17–19, and the schedule page was updated for weekend two after weekend one ended. (coachella.com) The switch underscores how Coachella’s two weekends no longer function as exact copies. The Los Angeles Times reported that Musgraves fills the same high-visibility Mojave slot Jack White played during weekend one, while Anyma is also set for weekend two after a wind-related cancellation last weekend. (latimes.com) Weekend-two changes are also reaching viewers at home. Coachella’s YouTube hub says the festival’s livestream starts Friday, April 17, and Pitchfork reported the weekend-two stream schedule includes Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, and Karol G. (youtube.com, pitchfork.com) Coachella’s official livestream page says the 2026 stream again runs across stage-specific channels and includes its “Watch With” creator commentary option. That setup lets the festival keep selling weekend two as a distinct event for fans on the grounds and online. (coachella.com) Musgraves’ booking also adds a country name to a lineup better known for pop, rap, and electronic acts. Radio station reports syndicated from ABC Audio said the appearance marks her return to Coachella in 2026 after organizers announced the set days before showtime. (ktts.com) For ticket holders, the practical point is simple: a Coachella wristband is valid only for the weekend purchased, so Musgraves’ set is available to weekend-two attendees, not fans who went April 10–12.
