Kacey Musgraves joins Weekend 2

Coachella added Kacey Musgraves to its Weekend 2 lineup on Tuesday, slotting the country singer into Saturday afternoon in the Mojave tent. (coachella.com) (rollingstone.com) Musgraves is scheduled to play from 3:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, marking her first Coachella performance since 2019. (rollingstone.com) (coachella.com) The revised Weekend 2 timetable also nudged Sabrina Carpenter earlier and moved Karol G later than their Weekend 1 slots, according to the updated schedule released April 14. (kesq.com) (coachella.com) Weekend 2 runs April 17 through April 19 in Indio, California, one week after the festival’s first weekend on April 10 through April 12. Coachella posts separate daily timetables for each weekend, and late lineup changes often show up there first. (coachella.com) (desertsun.com) This year’s headliners are Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma, placing Musgraves into a bill led largely by pop, Latin pop and electronic acts. Her addition gives Weekend 2 a country booking at a festival that usually mixes genres across its tents and main stages. (rollingstone.com) (coachella.com) Musgraves hinted at the appearance on Instagram earlier Tuesday before organizers made it official. Rolling Stone reported that she used her song “Middle of Nowhere” in the teaser video. (rollingstone.com) Other Weekend 2 changes extended beyond one add. The Desert Sun and Southern California News Group outlets reported that Not for Radio had no replacement listed and DJ Rezz canceled her appearance. (desertsun.com) (dailybulletin.com) For fans heading back to the desert this weekend, the practical change is simple: Saturday now includes a 50-minute Kacey Musgraves set, and the rest of the day shifts around it.
