Post Malone and Lainey Wilson Lead Diverse Lineup at Stagecoach Festival 2025

An exciting blend of country roots and unexpected music styles mark the Stagecoach festival lineup this April.

A Festival That Keeps Evolving

Every spring, the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, transforms into a vibrant musical playground. This year, from April 24-26, Stagecoach Festival is back with a spectacular lineup that’s anything but predictable. Headlined by Post Malone, Lainey Wilson, and Cody Johnson, the event continues to push the boundaries of its country roots.

Post Malone brings his unique blend of country and hip-hop energy to Stagecoach.

For long-time Stagecoach fans, this mix might surprise, but it’s a testament to how the festival has expanded its horizons. While beloved country artists like Bailey Zimmerman, Brooks & Dunn, Riley Green, Lyle Lovett, Wynonna Judd, Little Big Town, and Red Clay Strays hold their place, the festival’s roster also includes some curveballs.

When Country Meets Rock, Rap, and More

Imagine jamming to Journey’s timeless rock anthems one moment, then diving into the infectious beats of Pitbull or the smooth flow of Ludacris the next. That’s exactly what Stagecoach is serving up with artists like:

• Journey
• Pitbull
• BigXthaPlug (rapper)
• Ludacris
• Third Eye Blind
• The Wallflowers
• Counting Crows

Yes, you read that right! The festival’s eclectic lineup showcases an adventurous spirit, blending genres to keep the vibe fresh.

More Than Just Music: Food, Fun, and Festivities

The festival isn’t just about the tunes. Returning for the sixth year, Diplo’s HonkTonk brings an electrifying party atmosphere. And if you’re a foodie, you’re in for a treat—celebrity chef Guy Fieri will once again host the Stagecoach Smokehouse. Expect mouthwatering BBQ tastings and live cooking demos that perfectly complement the festival’s energetic days and star-studded nights.

Tickets for the 2025 Stagecoach Festival went on sale October 2 and, unsurprisingly, sold out quickly. If you missed out, don’t worry—Amazon Music will be livestreaming the event, letting fans everywhere catch all the action.

From Early Days to Headlining Spotlight

Lainey Wilson’s journey with Stagecoach is truly inspiring. She reminisces,

“My first Stagecoach was in 2022 on the SiriusXM Stage at 2:30PM in the afternoon. 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.”

Cody Johnson shares a similar story of growth. Cody Johnson says,

“I’ll never forget the first time I got the call to play Stagecoach. 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.”

Their stories add a personal touch to the festival’s ever-evolving narrative, reminding us why Stagecoach remains a beloved fixture in the music scene.

A New Star on the Rise

Adding to the excitement, this year’s winner of the CBS competition show The Road—premiering October 19—will earn the coveted opportunity to perform on the Mane Stage, plus take home a $250,000 prize. This fresh talent showcase injects new energy into the festival’s legacy of spotlighting breakthrough artists.

The Festival That Defies Expectations

Stagecoach 2025 is proof that music festivals don’t have to stick to one lane. Whether you’re a die-hard country fan, a lover of classic rock, or curious about how hip-hop fits into a traditionally country fest, there’s something for everyone here.

The blend of familiar faces and genre-crossing acts keeps the atmosphere fresh and unpredictable. It’s a celebration of musical diversity wrapped in cowboy hats, good food, and the sunny California desert.
