Kacey joins Coachella Weekend 2

Coachella added Kacey Musgraves to Weekend 2, slotting her into the Mojave tent at 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 18. (desertsun.com) The second weekend runs April 17 through April 19 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, and Coachella’s official schedule lists the festival’s two 2026 weekends as April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19. (coachella.com) Musgraves was added in the set-time release rather than the original lineup, a move Coachella also used for Jack White before Weekend 1. Weekend 2’s updated schedule also dropped Not for Radio without naming a replacement, and DJ Rezz canceled her appearance. (desertsun.com) (whittierdailynews.com) Coachella has turned surprise guests into part of the event’s structure, not just a bonus. Forbes counted 41 surprise guest performers and appearances during Weekend 1 alone this year. (forbes.com) That pattern has made the set-time drop almost as important as the lineup poster for fans deciding which stage to reach and when. Coachella’s official app and website both frame the schedule as the tool for planning each day once the artist list is already public. (coachella.com 1) (coachella.com 2) Musgraves is not on the main-stage headliner line. She is opening the Mojave run on Saturday afternoon, a slot Hypebeast reported had been occupied by Jack White during Weekend 1. (hypebeast.com) Fans who are not in Indio can still watch from home. Coachella says its official YouTube livestream will run across both weekends, April 10 to 12 and April 17 to 19, with seven stages streaming live. (coachella.com) So the practical change is simple: Saturday’s Mojave schedule now starts with Kacey Musgraves at 3 p.m., and Weekend 2 plans just shifted again before gates open. (desertsun.com)
