Kacey Musgraves has been added to Coachella’s second weekend as a surprise Saturday performer, returning to the festival lineup for the first time since 2019. (thewrap.com) Coachella’s updated Weekend 2 set times, released Tuesday, April 14, list Musgraves in the Mojave Tent at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 18, during the festival’s April 17-19 run in Indio, California. (ocregister.com) The festival’s official site lists Coachella 2026 across two weekends, April 10-12 and April 17-19, and its livestream page says seven stages will stream on YouTube during Weekend 2. (coachella.com, coachella.com) Musgraves fills the same Saturday Mojave slot that Jack White took during Weekend 1, according to TheWrap and Hypebeast’s reporting on the updated schedule. (thewrap.com, hypebeast.com) The addition lands after Weekend 1 turned surprise guests into a running part of the festival conversation. Forbes counted 41 surprise guest performers and appearances across the first weekend. (forbes.com) Weekend 2 also arrives with other lineup changes. Southern California News Group outlets reported that Not for Radio has no replacement listed and DJ Rezz canceled her appearance. (dailynews.com) For Musgraves, the booking puts a country artist back into one of Coachella’s most closely watched late-add slots, with the performance scheduled for a high-traffic Saturday afternoon tent set. (thewrap.com, ocregister.com) The next test is simple: whether Weekend 2 in the desert treats Musgraves’ 3 p.m. Mojave set as a schedule note or one of the weekend’s main draws. (ocregister.com)
