Stagecoach 2026 lineup

Stagecoach opens Friday, April 24, with a lineup that puts Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone at the top of the desert festival weekend in Indio. (stagecoachfestival.com) The three-day festival runs through Sunday, April 26, at the Empire Polo Club, the same Indio site that hosted Coachella on the two previous weekends. Amazon Music’s event page says the livestream starts daily at 3 p.m. Pacific and will run on Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch. (stagecoachfestival.com) (music.amazon.com) Stagecoach’s undercard stretches well beyond straight country. Rolling Stone reported when the lineup was announced that the bill also includes Brooks & Dunn, Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, Ella Langley, Red Clay Strays, Teddy Swims, Journey, Pitbull and Ludacris. (rollingstone.com) That mix has become part of the festival’s identity. Rolling Stone noted that Wilson is headlining Stagecoach for the first time, Johnson is making his headlining debut, and Post Malone returns after making his Stagecoach debut in 2024 with a set of country covers before releasing his country album *F-1 Trillion*. (rollingstone.com) The timing also keeps Indio’s April festival cycle intact. USA Today reported this week that Stagecoach returns one week after Coachella, shifting the same grounds from pop and rap to a weekend built around country, classic-rock nostalgia and crossover bookings. (usatoday.com) The livestream widens that audience beyond the polo fields. Stagecoach’s official livestream page says viewers can watch “all weekend long” on Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch, continuing a distribution setup that makes the festival available without a ticket or trip to the desert. (stagecoachfestival.com) This year’s lineup also shows how Stagecoach books around genre borders without dropping its country center. Alongside acts such as Little Big Town, Warren Zeiders and Wyatt Flores, the 2026 poster adds Nineties bands including Bush, Third Eye Blind, the Wallflowers and Counting Crows. (rollingstone.com) By Friday afternoon, the same venue that just hosted Coachella will be streaming a different version of California festival season — one led by Johnson, Wilson and Malone, and built to play both in Indio and on screens at home.
