Post Malone closed Stagecoach on Sunday, April 26, ending a three-day Indio festival that had been thrown off course the night before by a wind evacuation. (nbcpalmsprings.com) (setlist.fm) Setlist.fm lists his Stagecoach show at the Empire Polo Club as running from 9:30 p.m. to 10:55 p.m. on the T-Mobile Mane Stage. USA Today reported he brought out Braxton Keith and Shaboozey during the set. (setlist.fm) (usatoday.com) The set mixed his own songs, including “Circles,” “rockstar” and “I Had Some Help,” with country material and covers. Setlist.fm says the closing number was Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American),” played with an extended outro. (setlist.fm) That finale landed after Stagecoach had already absorbed its biggest disruption on Saturday, April 25. NBC Palm Springs reported organizers ordered an emergency evacuation just before 8:00 p.m. as strong winds swept through the Coachella Valley. (nbcpalmsprings.com) Festival screens told fans the event had been postponed until further notice and directed them to the nearest exit. NBC Palm Springs said the grounds reopened around 9:00 p.m., but the delay pushed back Lainey Wilson and Pitbull and removed Riley Green and Journey from the lineup. (nbcpalmsprings.com 1) (nbcpalmsprings.com 2) Sunday, by contrast, went ahead without the same interruption. NBC Palm Springs said organizers declared the festival was “back in the saddle” heading into the final day, with Post Malone closing as scheduled. (nbcpalmsprings.com) The booking also extended Post Malone’s shift deeper into country music. The Orange County Register wrote that the artist, who broke out as a rapper and pop star, has spent the last two years moving more visibly into country spaces, including a headlining spot at one of the genre’s biggest festivals.
