California’s Country Music Festival Stagecoach will return in April 2026, headlined by returning world-renowned artists, including Texas country soloist Cody Johnson, Louisiana singer and actress Lainey Wilson, and California hip-hop/rap artist Post Malone. The incredible lineup continues with country stars Bailey Zimmerman, Red Clay Strays, Riley Green, Journey, Brooks & Dunn, and Hootie & The Blowfish.
A total of 72 artists are on the 2026 lineup to date, spanning genres from rock to experimental to old-school country, with a couple of surprises along the way. This will be the fourth time the “‘Til You Can’t” singer Cody Johnson will perform at Stagecoach, sharing his excitement on social media after the lineup announcement: “STAGECOACH! Honored to be your Friday night headliner.”
Stagecoach will feature special Late Night On Mustang sets from iconic non-country artists, making for a fun, genre-bending stage. Mustang stage performers include dance/electronic singer and producer Diplo, hip-hop and rap artist Ludacris, and Mr. Worldwide/Mr. 305 himself, Pitbull.
The three-day festival will take place at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, from Apr. 24 through 26, 2026. Passes go on sale on Thursday, Oct. 2, at 11 a.m. PT, available on the festival website here.
