Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson and Post Malone will lead the pack at Stagecoach 2026 as headliners when the famed country fest returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif., on April 24-26.
The stacked lineup of performers for the Goldenvoice-produced Stagecoach will also feature Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Red Clay Strays, Warren Zeiders, Nate Smith, Sam Barber, Gavin Adcock, Wyatt Flores, Hudson Westbrook and Cameron Whitcomb.
Journey, Pitbull, BigXthaPlug and Counting Crows will perform at the Mustang Stage, which is being reimagined for 2026 and provides a space for the after-dark performance moments that have become an essential part of Stagecoach. Boot Barn will serve as the presenting sponsor of the new Mustang Stage.
Johnson said in a statement, “I’ll never forget the first time I got the call to play Stagecoach. We were on one of the smaller stages and I remember wondering if anyone wouldeven know our songs. Now here we are invited back to headline the Mane Stage. What a ride. I hope y’all bring the energy … because it’s gonna get Western.”
Wilson also reflected on her roots with the festival in her statement. “My first Stagecoach was in 2022 on the SiriusXM Stage at 2:30 p.m. in the afternoon,” she shared. “Look how far we’ve come y’all! I’m honored to headline this year. This is a career highlight and I can’t wait to see everyone there.”
Post Malone enthused in his statement: “Had a hell of a time at Stagecoach in 2024 alongside so many incredible artists and friends. Can’t wait to be back next year!”
Zimmerman added, “I played my first Stagecoach in 2023. Since then, it’s become a tradition, and I somehow was lucky enough to get to come back in ‘24 with Morgan Wallen and then in ‘25 with Luke Combs. Coming back in 2026 is unbelievable, and I’m so thankful to whoever made the decision to let me come back. I promise I won’t take my pants off this time … or maybe I will. See you soon, Stagecoach2026!”
