Kacey joins Weekend 2

Kacey Musgraves will play Coachella’s second weekend on Saturday, April 18, in a surprise addition to the festival schedule. (coachella.com) Festival organizers slotted Musgraves into the Mojave tent from 3:00 p.m. to 3:50 p.m. on Weekend 2, which runs April 17 through April 19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. (variety.com) The updated set times also dropped with other changes from Weekend 1: no replacement was listed for Not for Radio, and electronic artist Rezz canceled her appearance. (ocregister.com) Musgraves last played Coachella in 2019, so the 2026 booking ends a seven-year gap between her appearances at the festival. (thewrap.com) Coachella has turned late lineup changes into part of the event’s rhythm, with organizers using updated set times and unannounced bookings to reshape the second weekend after the first weekend plays out in public. (desertsun.com) This year’s festival is scheduled across two three-day runs, April 10 to April 12 and April 17 to April 19, with the official schedule hosted on Coachella’s website and app. (coachella.com) Musgraves teased the appearance on social media before the schedule went live, according to Rolling Stone, and the booking places a country artist into one of the afternoon tent slots rather than a late-night main-stage set. (rollingstone.com) Weekend 2 now opens with one more reason for fans to rework their plans before gates open Thursday in Indio. (kesq.com)
