Coachella Weekend 2 changes
Coachella’s Weekend 2 lineup was updated for the April 17 start — Kacey Musgraves was added and Anyma is set to retry a previously weather-disrupted performance.

Coachella opened its second 2026 weekend on Friday, April 17, with a changed schedule: Kacey Musgraves was added, and Anyma got a do-over. (latimes.com) Weekend 2 runs April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the second half of Coachella’s two-weekend format. The festival’s own FAQ says both weekends are meant to share the same lineup, art, food and activities, while warning that lineup and set times can change without notice. (coachella.com) This time, the changes are visible on the schedule. Kacey Musgraves was added for a Saturday Mojave set, and Orange County Register set times reported that Rezz canceled and no replacement was named for Not for Radio. (ocregister.com) The other big swap centers on Anyma. The Los Angeles Times reported that his Weekend 1 performance was disrupted by weather, and Weekend 2 gives the electronic act another shot under clearer conditions. (latimes.com) Coachella also expanded the at-home version of the festival for Weekend 2. Its livestream hub says seven stages will stream live on YouTube from April 17-19, turning what used to be a partial broadcast into a stage-by-stage feed. (coachella.com) The official Coachella YouTube channel listed separate Weekend 2 streams for the Main Stage, Outdoor Theatre, Sahara, Mojave, Gobi, Yuma and Quasar, plus Quasar Shorts feeds. The playlist says the Weekend 2 livestream starts Friday at 4 p.m. Pacific. (youtube.com) That matters for a festival built on repetition. Coachella sells two three-day weekends with the expectation that the experience will largely match, so even one added artist or one weather-hit set can make Weekend 2 feel distinct from Weekend 1. (coachella.com) It also shows how organizers now treat the stream as part of the event, not just a bonus. Coachella’s livestream page pitches a “front-row view” and the app syncs schedules to each viewer’s time zone, giving remote fans a parallel way to follow the same set-time changes as people in Indio. (coachella.com, youtube.com) By Friday afternoon, Weekend 2 looked less like a rerun than a revised edition: one new country set, one recovered electronic spectacle, and seven live camera feeds carrying the desert back online.
