Stagecoach is Coachella's country counterpart, same Indio polo grounds, same Goldenvoice production, staged the weekend after its famous sibling each spring. Since 2007 it's grown into the biggest country festival in the West, drawing the genre's superstar headliners along with Americana, outlaw, and roots acts across multiple stages. But it has its own desert flavor: barbecue and honky-tonk, a late-night dance barn that keeps going after the mainstage goes dark, and a crowd that treats the weekend as a full-on country pilgrimage. For fans of the genre, Stagecoach is the West Coast's marquee gathering, and it turns the Empire Polo Club into boot-stomping territory for one weekend a year.
