Kacey Musgraves added
Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s Weekend 2, taking a now‑famous 3 p.m. slot on the Mojave stage. (threads.com) Coverage of Weekend 1 framed the festival as a pop‑heavy, nostalgia‑driven edition, suggesting weekend‑to‑weekend schedule tweaks are still shaping the narrative.

Coachella added Kacey Musgraves to its Weekend 2 schedule, slotting her for 3 p.m. Saturday on the Mojave stage in Indio, California. (coachella.com) (desertsun.com) The change appeared in the festival’s Weekend 2 set times released Tuesday, April 14, ahead of the second three-day run on April 17-19 at the Empire Polo Club. The Orange County Register reported Musgraves was added to Saturday’s lineup and that no replacement was named for Not for Radio. (coachella.com) (ocregister.com) KESQ reported other Weekend 2 timing changes on Saturday, including an earlier start for Sabrina Carpenter and a later start for Karol G. Coachella’s own festival information says attendees should use the mobile app for the latest updates, which is where schedule revisions are typically surfaced. (kesq.com) (coachella.com) Musgraves’ booking lands in a festival already being framed around mainstream pop stars and reunion-era nostalgia after Weekend 1. The Guardian’s recap highlighted Justin Bieber, Karol G, Sabrina Carpenter and other high-visibility sets as defining the first weekend’s conversation. (theguardian.com) (usatoday.com) That makes the Saturday Mojave slot more than a line-item change on a timetable. Weekend-to-weekend tweaks have become part of how Coachella shapes its second weekend, especially now that the festival streams seven stages live on YouTube and publishes updated schedules close to showtime. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) Musgraves is not a newcomer to the festival circuit, but her addition gives this year’s bill a country presence that was not central to most Weekend 1 coverage. GRAMMY.com lists her career breakout in 2013 and her early Grammy wins, while current industry listings show her still active on the road after the release cycle for *Deeper Well*. (grammy.com) (ticketmaster.com) Coachella’s 2026 festival runs across two weekends, April 10-12 and April 17-19, with headliners including Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G and Anyma. By Tuesday night, the official schedule still pointed fans to the app to plan their weekend, and Musgraves had become one of the clearest signs that Weekend 2 will not be an exact replay of Weekend 1.
