A heck of a lineup.
This morning, Stagecoach announced the headliners and performers as the premiere country festival return to Indio’s Empire Polo Club from April 23rd through 2th in 2027. It’s one of the most highly-anticipated lineups of the year, and they once again delivered.
This year, Riley Green, Zach Top, and Garth Brooks will round out the weekend as headliners, and as fans suspected, Florida Georgia Line will reunite for a special late-night set at the festival, marking the duo’s first officially announced performance since teasing a reunion earlier this year. Yay…
Riley Green says he’s excited to return to the desert, as last year, his set got canceled due to high winds and an emergency evacuation. This time, he plans to stay all weekend and watch everyone else perform too, and it’s Riley’s first time headlining Stagecoach:
“Let’s do this again. We’re excited to make it back out to the desert after a wild ride last year. We’ll probably stay all weekend and catch the other sets so come join us.”
Zach Top played Stagecoach in 2024, and it marked a turning point in his career as just a few years later, he’s now a headliner:
“When we played Stagecoach in 2024, it was one of the very first festivals where we really drew a crowd for our set. We packed out the Palomino stage and I remember feeling like we were really doing something. Now to be back in 2027 as a headliner is just something truly special.”
Brooks, who hasn’t headlined a major music festival since closed out Stagecoach in 2018, says it’s a “guaranteed good time”:
“Stagecoach is a guaranteed good time. I was shocked by how personal everything there is…from the people working the venue to the people singing along. A MUST if you’re a Country music fan!”
In addition to Green, Top and Brooks, the 2027 lineup features artists from other genres like rock, pop, Latin, reggae and beyond, and other actus include HARDY, Willie Nelson & Family, Kelly Clarkson, Brothers Osborne, Shaboozey, DASHA, STELLA LEFTY, Stephen Wilson Jr, Journey, Pitbull, Carín León, Matchbox Twenty, Cameron Whitcomb and many more.
Tickets go on-sale starting Friday, September 18 at 11am PT, and you can check out the full list of performers here:
A huge point of focus will likely be the FGL reunion, as they keep the party going after dark, and the last time the duo played Stagecoach was before their breakup in 2018. They say they’re looking forward to returning to Stagecoach as a duo once again, and I have to imagine they’ve got more up their sleeves since coming back together at a huge festival like this is pretty massive:
“The last time we played Stagecoach was back in 2018, and a whole lot of life has happened since then. There’s something really special about getting to come back to the desert together, step on that stage again, and share these songs and memories with the fans who have been with us through it all.
We couldn’t think of a better place to do it.”
Two of Stagecoach’s fan-favorite attractions will also be back, as Diplo will host his HonkyTonk DJ set again, and Guy Fieri’s Stagecoach Smokehouse will also return for 2027.
Stagecoach consistently puts together one of the best lineups as far as country music festivals go, and it’s always one of the biggest of the year, and with such great names headlining and performing all weekend, I have no doubt it will be another big success. With so many country festivals shutting down as “blue dot fever” continues to be an issue, Stagecoach just keeps bringing it.
