ANAHEIM, Calif. — With another weekend of line dancing, barbecue and country music under the desert sun, the Stagecoach Country Music Festival will return to the Empire Polo Club in Indio April 24-26.

The three-day country festival follows back-to-back weekends of its sister event, the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, bringing together some of the genre’s biggest stars, rising talents and unexpected guests for three days of music in the desert.

This year’s lineup features Cody Johnson headlining Friday, Lainey Wilson taking over Saturday and Post Malone closing out the weekend on Sunday. Other acts scheduled to perform throughout the weekend include Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, Little Big Town, Teddy Swims, Brooks & Dunn, Warren Zeiders, Brett Young and Ella Langley, along with a mix of emerging country artists and cross-genre performers.

Stagecoach 2026 will also introduce a new late-night destination with the Mustang Stage presented by Boot Barn, located near the Mane Stage entrance across from the ferris wheel. The stage will feature performances from artists including Red Clay Strays, Journey, Hootie & The Blowfish, Third Eye Blind and Treaty Oak Revival, as well as late-night sets from Diplo, Pitbull and Ludacris.

Another returning highlight is Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse, which will once again bring cooking demonstrations and barbecue to the festival grounds. The Smokehouse will feature appearances from artists performing at the festival alongside celebrity chef Guy Fieri and pitmasters from across the country. Scheduled demos include Nate Smith, Chase Rice and BigXthaPlug on Friday; Gavin Rossdale of Bush, Gavin Adcock, Billy Bob Thornton and Wynonna Judd on Saturday; and Wyatt Flores and Brett Young on Sunday.

Festivalgoers can also head to Diplo’s HonkyTonk tent, curated by Diplo, which blends country and dance music with performances from Diplo himself along with acts such as Marshmello, DJ Pauly D, Loud Luxury, Rebecca Black, Two Friends and more.
