The Empire Polo Club in Indio is trading flower crowns for cowboy hats as Stagecoach returns April 24–26 with headliners Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone.
The lineup stretches beyond country staples, with Brooks & Dunn, Bailey Zimmerman, and crossover acts like Journey, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind and Bush.
Diplo, Ludacris and Pitbull will keep the late-night energy alive, while Diplo revives his HonkyTonk dance area.
This year introduces the Mustang Stage, a larger space designed to ease crowding at the Palomino Stage and host marquee sets from Journey, Hootie & the Blowfish and the Red Clay Strays.
Gates will open at 1 p.m. each day with music continuing until midnight.
Festivalgoers will find free day parking alongside preferred options and shuttle services, while lockers and charging stations can be reserved ahead of time to make the desert experience more manageable.
Tickets range from general admission three‑day passes starting at $619, with shuttle combos and saloon access available at higher tiers, to Corral passes priced between $1,199 and $2,299 that include reserved seating and exclusive saloon entry.
The weather is expected to reach highs near 90 degrees on Friday before cooling into the 70s by Sunday, with desert winds likely to sweep through the grounds.
Food remains a highlight, with barbecue at the center of the offerings, complemented by celebrity chef demos and familiar vendors serving up festival favorites.
Fans unable to make the trip can tune in via Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch starting at 3 p.m. PT each day.
The livestream will feature sets from Johnson, Wilson, Malone, Third Eye Blind, Ludacris, Pitbull, Wynonna Judd, Diplo and more.
