Weekend 2 set‑time tweaks
Coachella released Weekend Two set times with a couple of scheduling shifts — Sabrina Carpenter now starts slightly earlier, while Karol G is scheduled to start later than she did in Weekend One. Pitchfork published the full Weekend Two schedule and KESQ flagged those two timing changes specifically. (pitchfork.com) (kesq.com)
Coachella’s Weekend 2 schedule is out, with Sabrina Carpenter moved slightly earlier and Karol G pushed later than their Weekend 1 start times. (kesq.com) Weekend 2 runs Friday, April 17, through Sunday, April 19, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Pitchfork published the full second-weekend grid after organizers released the updated set times on April 15. (pitchfork.com) The two shifts KESQ singled out were both at the top of the bill: Sabrina Carpenter’s Friday-night set now begins a little earlier, while Karol G’s Sunday-night set starts later than it did on April 12. KESQ described the changes as “slight” compared with Weekend 1. (kesq.com) That kind of tweak is normal at Coachella because the festival runs the same lineup over two consecutive weekends, then adjusts around crowd flow, production timing, and artist changes before the second round. The 2026 festival dates are April 10 to 12 for Weekend 1 and April 17 to 19 for Weekend 2. (coachella.com) This year’s headliners include Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Karol G, and Anyma, with major support acts including the Strokes. Weekend 2 is largely a repeat booking, but not an exact copy of the first weekend’s timetable. (pitchfork.com) The biggest lineup addition for Weekend 2 is Kacey Musgraves, who was added to Saturday’s schedule. KESQ reported that Musgraves took the 3 p.m. Mojave slot where Jack White played during Weekend 1. (kesq.com) Weekend 2 also comes with another practical wrinkle for fans at home: Coachella said its official YouTube livestream returns April 17 to 19 with seven stages streaming live. That means even small set-time moves can affect both in-person plans and livestream viewing windows. (coachella.com) For anyone heading to Indio this weekend, the latest schedule page is the one that counts. Coachella’s second weekend starts Friday, and the festival has already shown it is willing to make last-minute changes before gates open. (coachella.com)
