Stagecoach 2026: Post Malone, Lainey Wilson and Cody Johnson will headline

Post Malone, Lainey Wilson, and Cody Johnson will be the main performers at the 2026 Stagecoach country music festival. Festival organizers announced the lineup on Thursday, pairing a pop star who’s found success in country music with two consistently popular country artists.

The event, taking place from April 24th to 26th at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, will include performances by Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Bailey Zimmerman, Wynonna Judd, Riley Green, Lyle Lovett, Little Big Town, Warren Zeiders, Nate Smith, and Hudson Westbrook.

Besides country artists, the annual festival-held on the same grounds as Coachella the following weekend-will feature performances by rappers Pitbull, Ludacris, and BigXthaPlug, as well as rock bands Journey, Bush, Counting Crows, Third Eye Blind, and Hootie & the Blowfish. Noah Cyrus and Teddy Swims are also scheduled to perform, along with the winner of the new CBS singing competition, “The Road.”

The headliners for next year’s Stagecoach festival are all returning artists. Stagecoach, which began in 2007, has become a major event for brands and social media personalities, increasingly competing with Coachella in popularity.

Music

Country singer, age 25, just released a new album called ‘Different Night Same Rodeo’ featuring collaborations with Luke Combs and the Kid Laroi.

Post Malone took the Stagecoach festival by storm in 2024, performing popular country songs and collaborating with music legends like Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley, and Sara Evans. He also shared the stage with Morgan Wallen to perform their hit song, “I Had Some Help,” from Post Malone’s country album-a new direction after his success in hip-hop and pop. Both Post Malone and Morgan Wallen are up for Entertainer of the Year at the upcoming CMA Awards, along with fellow Stagecoach performer Carrie Underwood, who played the festival in 2017 and 2022. Underwood was also named Entertainer of the Year at the ACM Awards in May.

Stagecoach 2026 will also feature performances by Red Clay Strays, Sam Barber, Gavin Adcock, Wyatt Flores, Billy Bob Thornton, Charles Wesley Godwin, Chase Rice, Kameron Marlowe, Larkin Poe, S.G. Goodman, and the Wallflowers.

Festival tickets will be available starting October 2nd, with prices ranging from $549 to over $4,000 for VIP options. The festival sold out quickly in April, featuring headliners Zach Bryan, Jelly Roll, and Luke Combs, even though other festivals like Coachella had trouble selling tickets at the same rate.

Goldenvoice, the company behind both festivals, announced that passes for Coachella 2026 are already sold out, having gone on sale late last week. This year’s lineup, revealed earlier than usual, features headliners Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G.
