Coachella has released the schedule for the event’s second weekend, and festival-goers won’t have too many changes.

All the main headline sets will stay the same — so dare we say to expect an on-time Guns N’ Roses twice in a week?

The main shifts are in the dance tents, with Nina Kraviz and Justin Martin flipping their late-night Yuma tent gigs around. House DJ/producer Sasha, who canceled Weekend 1 over what Coachella described as a “personal medical emergency,” looks to be off the Yuma Tent lineup for Weekend 2 as well, though his own website still lists the gig as upcoming. Big Game and DJ Morsy will replace Dirty Mop and Jimbo Jenkins for early-day Sahara Tent sets.

The schedule also has been adjusted to reflect the return of U.K. shoegazers Lush, who canceled Weekend 1 over visa-related travel issues, and the absence of grime artist Skepta, who will not be returning over similar visa reasons.

In the Heineken House, Diplo will be getting a bit of a breather during his already-packed weekend schedule. He’s no longer DJ’ing that tent, and rapper Too Short is also off the bill there.

But Weekend 2’s schedule-swaps also offer a bit of Coachella trivia. The Palm Desert band Brightener will be replaced by another Palm Desert act, the Flusters, at noon on the Outdoor Stage. But Brightener frontman Will Sturgeon will be onstage again: He’s a keyboardist for the Flusters as well, and as the Desert Sun noted, is likely the only person to play the same Coachella festival on alternate weeks as a member of two separate acts.
