Dust off your cowboy hats and boots: the Stagecoach Country Music Festival has announced its lineup for next year.
The Goldenvoice-produced festival set for April 24-26, 2026 at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, will feature headliners Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, and Post Malone on the Mane Stage.
Next year’s festival will feature some returning acts, including Malone, Wilson, and Johnson, all of whom have played the festival before.
While the lineup includes country staples like Wynonna Judd, Little Big Town and Brooks & Dunn, it also does its usual veering off into other genres with acts such as Journey, Counting Crows, Bush, Hootie & the Blowfish and Third Eye Blind.
Over on the Palomino stage, Diplo, who curates the HonkyTonk tent, will kick off the late-night celebrations on Friday night. Rapper and singer Pitbull, aka Mr. Worldwide, will headline on Saturday, while rapper and actor Ludacris will close out the stage on Sunday evening.
As the festival’s designated secondary stage, the Palomino has hosted legendary acts including Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, John Prine, Smokey Robinson, Emmylou Harris, Glen Campbell, Kenny Rogers, Charley Pride and Tom Jones.
Passes for the festival start at $549 and go on sale starting Thursday, Oct. 2 at 11 a.m. at stagecoachfestival.com. Fans may not want to wait, as this year’s festival, which featured headliners Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, and Luke Combs, sold out in advance.
Along with Diplo’s HonkyTonk, Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse will also be back to showcase chefs, pit bosses, and BBQ vendors for its yearly mini-food festival within the country fest. Fieri and friends will showcase their pits and rigs, offering taste tests to fans throughout the weekend, along with some special cooking demos. The complete food and HonkyTonk lineups are expected to be announced in a few months.
Some of Stagecoach’s on-site experiences will also expand and return. The festival will reimagine the Mustang Stage for after-dark moments, bringing lively, high-energy performances to the grounds that stretch into the night. The Rose Garden Saloon, located next to the Palomino Stage, will also return, offering fans a chance to grab cold drinks in a classic honky-tonk atmosphere. Last year, it opened all day for the first time, offering food trucks, bars, shaded picnic areas and air-conditioned restrooms.
