STAGECOACH 2024: TIME TO SADDLE UP

Coachella is barely over and here we are talking about AEG/Goldenvoice's country extravaganza, Stagecoach, which is due to gallop through Empire Polo Field in Indio, California, 4/26-28 and should be bigger than ever. Seriously, look at that lineup. With country and Americana dominating the charts, expect a rip-roaring weekend.

No wonder the fest's 2024 iteration had the biggest on-sale of its 16-year history last year and sold out lickety-split.

Stagecoach’s 2024 lineup is led by Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Morgan Wallen, plus a country covers set from Post Malone and perfs by such wildly diverse acts as Jelly Roll, Willie Nelson and Leon Bridges, Nickelback, Diplo and Wiz Khalifa. Plus whatever Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse continues to be. And don't forget the expanded Rhinestone Saloon, where no self-respecting cowpoke would order a vodka soda.

Luke Bryan, Kane Brown and Chris Stapleton topped the Stagecoach lineup last year, but that was only the tip of the cactus as ZZ Top, Luke Grimes, Bryan Adams and Melissa Etheridge also dropped by amid the triple-digit temperatures.
