Everything You Need to Know About Stagecoach 2027

Since its debut in 2007, Stagecoach: California's Country Music Festival has grown from a promising desert experiment into the genre's marquee live event. Held the weekend after Coachella on the same Empire Polo Club grounds, it pairs A-list country headliners with a sprawling undercard that spans outlaw country, bluegrass, Americana, and the pop-country crossover sound dominating radio today. For 2027, the festival returns April 23-25, and advance passes are already moving.

The lineup for 2027 has not been announced yet - Stagecoach typically reveals its headliners in the fall and winter - but recent editions give a strong sense of the scale. The festival regularly books three marquee headliners, one per night, alongside dozens of supporting acts across its stages. As Billboard reported when the 2027 dates were confirmed, the festival's reputation now rivals any country event in the world. Keep an eye on festival trackers for lineup leaks and rumors as the announcement approaches.

The grounds themselves are a huge part of the appeal. The Mane Stage hosts the biggest names under the open sky, while the Palomino tent has become a sanctuary for traditional and legacy country, often delivering the most talked-about sets of the weekend. The SiriusXM Spotlight stage and the late-night HonkyTonk dance hall round out the action, and there is rarely a dull moment from gates-open to last call. Bring sunscreen for the afternoon heat and a light layer for the cool desert nights.

Food and drink at Stagecoach are an event of their own. Guy Fieri's Stagecoach Smokehouse anchors a lineup of pitmasters serving brisket, ribs, and smoked everything, while craft cocktail bars, ice-cold beer gardens, and a tequila-soaked Diplo afterparty keep the energy high. Many fans make a full weekend of it by camping on-site, where the RV and tent grounds turn into a friendly, flag-waving community of country diehards.

Getting to Indio is straightforward: the Empire Polo Club sits roughly two hours east of Los Angeles and about 25 minutes from Palm Springs International Airport. Shuttle passes, rideshare lots, and on-site camping all make the logistics manageable, but they sell out alongside the festival passes - another reason to plan early. However you get there, securing your entry first is the smart move, and verified Stagecoach passes are available now on BigStub with no hidden fees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Stagecoach Festival?

Stagecoach: California's Country Music Festival is the world's largest country music festival, held each spring at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Since 2007 it has brought together superstar headliners, legacy artists, and rising newcomers for three days of music, barbecue, and desert revelry the weekend after Coachella.

Is Stagecoach a camping festival?

Yes. On-site camping is one of the most popular ways to experience Stagecoach, with both tent and RV options that turn the grounds into a weekend-long community. Campers get easy access to the stages, on-site amenities, and the festival's famous late-night gatherings. Camping passes sell separately from festival passes and tend to go fast.

How hot does it get at Stagecoach?

Indio sits in the Coachella Valley desert, so daytime temperatures in late April often climb into the 90s before cooling off considerably after sunset. Fans are encouraged to hydrate, wear sunscreen and a hat for the afternoon, and pack a light layer for the noticeably cooler desert nights.

What food and drinks are at Stagecoach?

Stagecoach is as much a food festival as a music one.

A wide range of food vendors covers everything from comfort classics to local favorites.
