With a few minor changes, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has posted the set times for weekend two of the event.
It looks like some of the conflicts have been lessened this time. What do you think?

There are some big changes from weekend one. The new artists are the openers in the Mojave and Yuma Tents. KAB will open Mojave from 11 -11:50 a.m. and festival veteran and Coachella Valley native Alf Alpha will open the Yuma Tent from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Beyond that, nearly every band on the Coachella Stage is going on earlier than last week, with the exceptions of The Preatures and Anthony Green, the first two acts.
OutKast will hopefully make it on by 11:05 p.m., which was the rescheduled time the first week but they came on closer to their original time of 11:30 . Hopefully this means the songs at the end won’t be rushed.
Every act on the Outdoor Theatre stage Friday will go on earlier. This is a huge plus if your conflicts were Neko Case on outdoor and Afghan Whigs in Mojave. Also, if you want to see both The Replacements and Bryan Ferry, The ‘Mats got bumped up by 15 minutes so they only overlap by 20 minutes now.

Saturday’s lineup doesn’t change too much from weekend 1. All of the performers are the same. On the Coachella Stage, every performer except Unlocking the Truth, Foster the People and Muse will go on 5 minutes early. It’s the 5 minutes early rule over at the Outdoor Theatre, as well, with only opening act Saints of Valory and closing act Nas sticking to last week’s set times of noon and midnight, respectively.

The biggest changes on Sunday are two new additions to the bill. Tachevah winners CIVX replace Machin’ to open the Mojave Tent. Also, More Fire Mondays’ own Jeremy Campbell, a.k.a. Juicewon, will be the second act in the Yuma Tent, replacing Cooper Saver.
As for the times, Chance the Rapper gets 5 minutes less on the Coachella stage (that’s five minutes less of a possible Justin Bieber appearance), and everyone after him and before Arcade Fire (Zoe, Nakes and Famous, Calvin Harris and Beck) go on five minutes early. Arcade Fire still has the same start time.
Also, there are some Sahara Tent changes. John Beaver gets five minutes less to start the day. Then, Anna Lunoe, Flight Facilities, Showtek, Krewella and Alesso are going on five minutes earlier than last week. I think it’s probably due to Big Gigantic’s larger stage productions.
