Stagecoach Country Music Festival announces 2027 lineup: Headliners, dates and ticket info

Stagecoach is going big for 2027. Riley Green, Zach Top and Garth Brooks will headline three days at Empire Polo Club, but the lineup stretches far beyond country, bringing Kelly Clarkson, Journey, Pitbull, Florida Georgia Line, Willie Nelson & Family, HARDY, Carín León and dozens more to the California desert.

The Stagecoach Country Music Festival returns to Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, from Friday, April 23 through Sunday, April 25, 2027. The weekend also marks 20 years since the first Stagecoach was held in 2007.

Here’s everything to know about the Stagecoach 2027 lineup, daily schedule, ticket sale dates, pass options and what fans can expect in Indio.

Who's performing at Stagecoach 2027?

The headliners give each day a pretty different feel.

• Riley Green gets Friday, April 23, returning to Stagecoach after his 2026 Mane Stage scheduled set was canceled during the festival's wind evacuation.

• Zach Top takes Saturday, April 24, a huge slot for one of country's fastest-rising stars.

• Garth Brooks closes the weekend Sunday, April 25, nine years after he last headlined Stagecoach in 2018.

And the lineup gets a lot weirder and even more fun from there. Kelly Clarkson, Willie Nelson & Family, Journey, HARDY, Brothers Osborne, Pitbull, Shaboozey, Carín León, Turnpike Troubadours, Cody Jinks, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Matchbox Twenty, David Lee Roth, The Fray, Melissa Etheridge, Jo Dee Messina, Gretchen Wilson, Charley Crockett and Stephen Wilson Jr. are all headed to Indio.

Late Night on Mustang is back, too, with Sean Paul, Flo Rida and a particularly notable Florida Georgia Line set. The duo reunited with a surprise appearance at CMA Fest in June, and Stagecoach will be one of their first officially announced full performances back together.

Stagecoach Country Music Festival 2027 dates and schedule

Individual performance times and full stage schedules have not been released yet, but Stagecoach and AXS have confirmed several of the biggest performers appearing each day.

Venue: Empire Polo Club, 81-800 Avenue 51, Indio, CA 92201.

Stagecoach says the venue is scheduled to open at 1:00 p.m. each day, with the festival ending on or before midnight. Exact artist set times will be released closer to the festival.

When do Stagecoach 2027 tickets go on sale?

Eligible American Express Card Members get the first chance to buy passes during an Amex presale beginning Tuesday, September 15 at 11:00 a.m. PT. The presale runs through Friday, September 18 at 11:00 a.m. PT, when the general onsale begins.

Stagecoach's primary ticketing is handled through AXS, with multiple pass types available while supplies last. Fans can also find resale three-day passes on SeatGeek.

All official Stagecoach festival wristbands are valid for the full three-day festival, so SeatGeek's current resale listings cover the full April 23-25 weekend rather than individual days. There are no standard single-day GA passes as of now.

What do the different Stagecoach passes include?

Stagecoach has several three-day pass options depending on how close you want to be to the Mane Stage and what kind of festival setup you're looking for.

• General Admission: A three-day wristband with access to the festival's GA areas, stages, activities, food vendors, bars, shaded rest areas, water refill stations and more.

• GA + Shuttle: Includes a three-day GA wristband plus an Any Time, Any Line shuttle pass for transportation between participating Coachella Valley stops and the festival.

• Rhinestone Saloon: Includes GA access plus the Rhinestone Saloon near the Mane Stage and Rose Garden Saloon near the Palomino Stage, with additional shaded areas, food and beverage options and upgraded restroom access.

• Corral Standing Pit: Gives fans standing-room access directly in front of the Mane Stage, along with GA and saloon access.

• Corral Reserved: Includes an assigned seat behind the standing pit for Mane Stage performances, with reserved seating ranging from C4 through the premium C1 section.

Stagecoach is also offering elevated packages including the Desert Diamond, Gold Rush and Hi Ho Silver VIP packages, along with camping, RV, hotel and transportation options.

What to expect at Stagecoach 2027

Stagecoach may be rooted in country music, but the 2027 lineup makes clear how wide the festival has become. You could spend part of the weekend watching Willie Nelson & Family, move into a Journey or Kelly Clarkson set and finish late with Florida Georgia Line, Sean Paul or Flo Rida.

The festival uses multiple stages across the Empire Polo Club grounds. The Mane Stage hosts many of the biggest performances, while the Palomino Stage and Mustang Stage add more programming throughout the weekend. Late Night on Mustang has become a major part of the after-hours experience, and Stagecoach says the larger Mustang setup will return in 2027.

Beyond the music, the festival offers shaded areas, free water refill stations, food vendors, bars, restrooms and free phone-charging stations. Diplo's HonkyTonk and Guy Fieri's Stagecoach Smokehouse are also set to return for 2027.

Stagecoach is an outdoor desert festival, so prepare for long days on your feet and potentially hot daytime conditions. Check the forecast shortly before the weekend, bring permitted sun protection and prioritize hydration.

A few tips for making the most of the weekend:

• Arrive early. Stagecoach says the busiest arrival window is typically between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.

• Plan around multiple stages. Performances overlap, so once set times arrive, identify your must-see artists and leave enough time to move between stages.

• Wear comfortable shoes. You'll cover a lot of ground at Empire Polo Club over three days.

• Use the water stations. Free refill stations are available throughout the festival.

• Check the official schedule shortly before the event. Artist times and stage assignments can change.
