Coachella lineup shuffle
Coachella’s second weekend has already shifted: Kacey Musgraves was announced as a surprise performer while electronic artist Rezz cancelled her weekend‑two set for health reasons. (Those scheduling updates were posted as the festival prepared to run its customary two weekends in April.) ( )
Coachella’s second weekend changed before the gates opened: Kacey Musgraves was added to Saturday’s bill, and Rezz pulled out of her set. (variety.com, variety.com) Musgraves was added when Coachella released its weekend-two schedule on Tuesday, April 14. She is booked for the Mojave Tent on Saturday, April 18, from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m., her first Coachella performance since 2019. (variety.com, rollingstone.com) Rezz said Tuesday that she would not play weekend two because of health issues that “need to be addressed.” Variety reported that her canceled appearance had been scheduled for the Sahara Tent after she played weekend one on Saturday, April 11. (variety.com, billboard.com) The changes landed as Coachella prepared for its second three-day run at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, on April 17 through April 19. The festival’s official site lists the 2026 dates as April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19. (coachella.com, desertsun.com) Weekend-two adjustments are routine at Coachella, where organizers often tweak set times and occasionally swap in surprise acts after the first weekend. This year, Jack White appeared as a last-minute addition in weekend one, and Musgraves was placed in that same Saturday afternoon Mojave slot for weekend two. (variety.com, themusicuniverse.com) Rezz did not disclose a diagnosis in her statement. She said she had been “shrugging off” health problems, had kept pushing through them, and now needed “a real break,” while adding that she planned to upload her weekend-one Coachella set to YouTube. (variety.com, billboard.com) Her cancellation added to a year of lineup disruptions at the festival. Variety reported that Lambrini Girls dropped out before the festival because of the lead singer’s injuries, and Anyma canceled a planned main-stage set during weekend one because of extreme weather. (variety.com) For fans, the practical takeaway is simple: Saturday’s Mojave schedule now includes a country star who was not on the original poster, and Sahara loses one of weekend one’s electronic sets. Coachella’s weekend-two timetable is already live as the festival heads into Friday’s opening day. (variety.com, coachella.com)
