Post Malone closes Stagecoach, becomes first artist to headline both Coachella and Stagecoach

Post Malone closed Stagecoach on April 26 and became the first artist to headline both Stagecoach and Coachella. (billboard.com) (stagecoachfestival.com) He headlined the final night of the three-day festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, one year after closing Coachella 2025 on the same grounds. Billboard reported the two bookings came in back-to-back years. (billboard.com) Goldenvoice president and chief executive Paul Tollett told Billboard that Malone is “perfectly comfortable performing to such different audiences.” Goldenvoice executive vice president Stacy Vee said Stagecoach fans responded strongly when Malone played a country covers set there in 2024. (billboard.com) That return looked different from his Coachella headlining show. Billboard said Malone centered the Stagecoach set on songs from his 2024 country album “F-1 Trillion,” including “Pour Me a Drink” and the No. 1 hit “I Had Some Help.” (billboard.com) Rolling Stone reported that he opened with Craig Morgan’s “International Harvester,” mixed in “White Iverson,” “Circles” and “Sunflower,” and played country covers including George Strait’s “Give It Away,” “I Swear” and Garth Brooks’ “Rodeo.” (rollingstone.com) His guests were Shaboozey, Jake Worthington and Braxton Keith, according to Rolling Stone. Shaboozey joined him on “I Had Some Help,” Worthington sang on “Give It Away,” and Keith performed his own song “Cozy.” (rollingstone.com) The Desert Sun reported that Malone ended with Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue (The Angry American)” after a 90-minute set on Sunday night. The paper described the finale as a packed close to the festival’s last evening. (desertsun.com) Stagecoach’s 2026 lineup put Malone alongside Cody Johnson and Lainey Wilson as the festival’s three headliners. The official festival site listed the event for April 24-26 in Indio. (stagecoachfestival.com) Malone’s desert run now traces a clear arc: surprise guest at Coachella in 2023, Stagecoach performer in 2024, Coachella headliner in 2025, and Stagecoach headliner in 2026.
