Kacey Musgraves surprise set

Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend, giving the festival a new Saturday set in Indio on April 18. (thewrap.com) Weekend Two runs April 17 through April 19 at the Empire Polo Club, and the updated schedule lists Musgraves in the Mojave Tent from 3 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on Saturday. (coachella.com, variety.com) The revised set times also shuffled other acts. KESQ reported Sabrina Carpenter was moved slightly earlier and Karol G slightly later, while the Southern California News Group papers reported Musgraves was added with no replacement named for Not for Radio and that DJ Rezz canceled her appearance. (kesq.com, ocregister.com) For Coachella, the late lineup change keeps up a weekend-to-weekend pattern. Jack White played the same Mojave slot as a surprise act during Weekend One, and several outlets reported Musgraves is now taking that afternoon position for Weekend Two. (hypebeast.com, justjared.com) For Musgraves, it is her first Coachella performance since 2019, ending a seven-year gap between festival appearances. Multiple reports said organizers revealed the booking when they posted the Weekend Two schedule on Tuesday, April 14. (rollingstone.com, thewrap.com) Coachella’s official site says both weekends are streaming live on YouTube, with seven stages available, so Musgraves’ set is positioned to reach fans beyond the desert. (coachella.com) The festival now heads into its second weekend with one more name on Saturday’s grid and one more reason for fans to keep refreshing the schedule. (coachella.com, desertsun.com)
