Coachella’s second weekend is shaping up hotter and calmer than the first, with sunny desert weather expected from Friday, April 17, through Sunday, April 19. (djmag.com) The National Weather Service forecast for the Coachella Valley calls for Friday highs of 82 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, Saturday highs of 86 to 89, and Sunday highs of 89 to 92, with clear or mostly sunny skies and no rain in the three-day outlook. (weather.gov) The Weather Channel’s 10-day forecast for Indio shows 89 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday, 89 on Saturday and 89 on Sunday, all with a 0 percent chance of precipitation, while DJ Mag reported low humidity and a high ultraviolet index across the weekend. (weather.com) (djmag.com) That is a different setup from opening weekend, when strong winds disrupted the festival and DJ Mag said Anyma’s Friday headlining set was canceled because stage conditions were affected by the weather. (ktla.com) (djmag.com) Weekend 2 begins Thursday, April 17, and runs through Sunday, April 19, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, with Coachella’s official site listing food, bars and the Outstanding in the Field dinner program alongside the music lineup. (coachella.com) The food program has become part of the event’s draw, with Coachella promoting chef-driven dishes, street food, specialty cocktails, craft beer and spirit-free drinks across the grounds. (coachella.com) The Los Angeles Times’ Weekend 2 guide highlighted vegan crunch wraps, prawn chip nachos, frosé, $12 caviar bumps and Los Angeles-style tacos among the dishes and drinks worth seeking out on site. (latimes.com) Eater Los Angeles reported that the 2026 festival food roster also stretches from trucks and pop-ups to higher-end options, including a Nobu omakase and other restaurant tie-ins that push Coachella beyond standard concession fare. (la.eater.com) Coachella’s official dining page says Outstanding in the Field returns for a twelfth year in the VIP Rose Garden, with a four-course, wine-paired communal dinner that starts seating at 6 p.m. and requires both a festival pass and a separate dinner ticket. (coachella.com) So the practical picture for Weekend 2 is straightforward: hotter afternoons, cooler nights around the upper 50s to low 60s, and a festival menu that now ranges from grab-and-go snacks to reservation-style dinners inside the grounds.
