The Empire Polo Club in Indio is trading in flower crowns for cowboy hats when Stagecoach returns April 24-26 with headliners Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson and Post Malone.
The lineup extends beyond country classics, featuring Brooks & Dunn, Bailey Zimmerman, and crossover acts like Journey, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind, and Bush.
Diplo, Ludacris and Pitbull will keep the nighttime energy alive, as Diplo revives his HonkyTonk dance floor.
This year features the Mustang Stage, a larger space designed to alleviate crowding on the Palomino Stage and host marquee stages by Journey, Hootie & the Blowfish and Red Clay Strays.
Doors will open at 1 pm daily and the music will continue until midnight.
Festival-goers will find free daytime parking along with preferred options and shuttle services, while lockers and charging stations can be reserved in advance to make the desert experience more manageable.
Tickets range from three-day general admission passes starting at $619, with transportation and lounge access combinations available at higher levels, to Corral passes priced between $1,199 and $2,299 that include reserved seating and exclusive lounge entry.
The weather is expected to reach highs near 90 degrees on Friday before cooling to the 70s on Sunday, with desert winds likely to hit the terrain.
Food remains the highlight, with barbecue at the center of the offering, complemented by demonstrations from celebrity chefs and family-owned vendors serving festival favorites.
Fans who can’t travel can tune in via Amazon Music, Prime Video, and Twitch starting at 3 p.m. PT daily.
