The stage is set, the desert sun is ready to blaze, and the country music extravaganza we’ve all been waiting for is just around the corner. Stagecoach Festival, the crown jewel of California’s music scene, has just unveiled its sensational lineup for 2024, and it’s a rollercoaster ride of surprise and excitement.
Country Legends and Newcomers
Morgan Wallen, the chart-topping sensation, is set to take the reins as a first-time headliner, alongside returning stars Eric Church and Miranda Lambert. It’s been a long-awaited moment for Church, who was slated to headline in 2020 before the pandemic thwarted those plans. Miranda Lambert, too, makes a triumphant return after a nine-year hiatus from her last headlining appearance in 2015.
But hold on to your cowboy hats because the biggest curveball of the festival is none other than Post Malone. Known for his hip-hop and pop hits, Post Malone is about to dive headfirst into the country world with a “special set of country covers” that’s sure to leave fans both stunned and cheering.
Country music royalty Willie Nelson, at the ripe age of 90, is making a triumphant return to Stagecoach after a long absence. And the excitement doesn’t stop there; Jelly Roll, a rising star in the country scene, will be taking center stage just before Eric Church on the first night, fresh off five CMA Awards nominations.
A Diverse Lineup
Stagecoach has always been known for embracing diversity, and this year is no exception. Get ready for some surprising acts from outside the genre, including the legendary Beach Boys, Wiz Khalifa, Nickelback, and the soulful Leon Bridges. Diplo, a Stagecoach staple, will be back with a late-night tent set and his very own “Diplo’s HonkyTonk” area.
And if that’s not enough, there’s more talent to discover with Elle King, Ernest, Maddie & Tae, the War and Treaty, Charley Crockett, and breakout star Megan Moroney.
Legends of the Genre
Stagecoach doesn’t just bring in fresh faces; it also pays homage to the legends of country music. Joining Willie Nelson as seasoned performers are Dwight Yoakam, Clint Black, Pam Tillis, and Asleep at the Wheel, promising unforgettable moments on the festival’s hallowed stages.
A Taste of Americana
While the lineup is dominated by country stars, Stagecoach keeps the Americana flame burning with acts like Trampled by Turtles and Allison Russell, offering a diverse soundscape that’s sure to please every music lover.
