Country music’s biggest festival returns April 24-26, 2026 at Empire Polo Club in Indio with over 70 acts performing. Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone will headline, but the talent does not stop there. Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, Brooks & Dunn, Red Clay Strays and many more acts will play over the weekend. Non-country acts like Journey, Pitbull, BigXthePlug and Counting Crows will also play the Mustang Stage.
“I’ll never forget the first time I got the call to play Stagecoach,” said Cody Johnson. “We were on one of the smaller stages and I remember wondering if anyone would even know our songs. Now here we are invited back to headline the Mane Stage. What a ride. I hope y’all bring the energy… because it’s gonna get western.”
“My first Stagecoach was in 2022 on the SiriusXM Stage at 2:30PM in the afternoon,” said headliner Lainey Wilson. “Look how far we’ve come y’all! I’m honored to headline this year. This is a career highlight and I can’t wait to see everyone there.”
Added Post Malone, “Had a hell of a time at Stagecoach in 2024 alongside so many incredible artists and friends. Can’t wait to be back next year!”
