The wait is over for country music fans. Organizers have revealed the official lineup for the 2027 Stagecoach festival, set to take over the Empire Polo Club in Indio from April 23-25. As first reported by KTLA Entertainment, the headliners will be country legend Garth Brooks, modern hitmaker Riley Green, and rising star Zach Top. According to Variety, a major draw will be a special late-night set from the reunited Florida Georgia Line, marking one of their first announced performances since their hiatus.
The announcement solidifies Stagecoach‘s position as the West Coast’s premier country music event. Per a Spin exclusive, the festival will also feature an eclectic mix of artists spanning country, rock, and pop, including Willie Nelson, Journey, Kelly Clarkson, and Pitbull. Tickets for the three-day event are scheduled to go on sale Friday, September 18, at 11 a.m. PT, with payment plans starting at $49 down.
A Diverse and Star-Studded Roster
The 2027 lineup continues Stagecoach’s tradition of blending country royalty with cross-genre appeal. As reported by Consequence, the bill includes heavyweight country acts like HARDY, Brothers Osborne, and Shaboozey, alongside rock staples such as Matchbox Twenty and David Lee Roth. The festival’s popular non-musical attractions, including Guy Fieri’s Smokehouse and Diplo’s HonkyTonk, will also return.
For the headliners, the festival holds particular significance. Riley Green’s set is a redemption of sorts; Riley Green was scheduled to perform at the 2026 festival, but his set was canceled due to high winds. Zach Top, meanwhile, has seen a rapid ascent since his well-received 2024 Stagecoach performance, which he credits as a turning point in his career. Garth Brooks, who last headlined in 2018, recently inked a touring deal with Goldenvoice’s parent company, AEG Presents, deepening his connection to the event.
California’s Country Music Capital
While the festival is held at the Empire Polo Club in the Coachella Valley, its impact is felt across Southern California. The event, produced by LA-based promoter Goldenvoice, attracts tens of thousands of fans to the region each spring, creating a significant economic boost for the Inland Empire and beyond. For SoCal country fans, it’s the can’t-miss event of the year.
Many of the artists on the bill have strong ties to the local scene. Zach Top is set to perform at Pechanga Arena San Diego and the Honda Center this month, while Riley Green has shows scheduled at the Long Beach Amphitheater and the Greek Theatre. This gives local fans a chance to see these future headliners in more intimate settings before they take the main stage in Indio.
On-Sale Information and What’s Next
With the lineup public, the next major milestone is the ticket on-sale date. As confirmed by the LA Times, passes will be available starting September 18. Three-day General Admission passes begin at $549, with various VIP packages offering elevated experiences. Given the star power of the lineup and the high demand for Stagecoach, fans are advised to prepare for a quick sell-out.
As the countdown to April 2027 begins, the announcement sets the stage for another landmark weekend in the California desert. The booking of Garth Brooks alongside the next generation of country stars signals a festival confident in its ability to honor the genre’s past while aggressively shaping its future.
