Stagecoach is back at the Empire Polo Club in Indio on April 23 to 25, 2027. It’s the weekend right after Coachella, and it’s one of the biggest country music festivals in the country. If you’re coming, here’s what to know, and where to stay so you actually get some rest.
The 2027 lineup
The lineup is a big one. Garth Brooks, Willie Nelson, Lainey Wilson, Riley Green and Zach Top lead the way. You’ll also see HARDY, Kelly Clarkson, Turnpike Troubadours, Charley Crockett, Brothers Osborne, Shaboozey, Journey, Matchbox Twenty, Carín León and Pitbull. Check the official Stagecoach site for the day by day schedule once it’s out.
Tickets
Passes went on sale September 18, 2026, with payment plans available. Popular tiers sell out, so don’t wait if you have your heart set on a certain pass. Add a shuttle pass while you’re at it. You’ll thank yourself on Sunday night.
Getting there from Palm Desert
- Festival shuttle: our condos are about a 5 minute walk from a festival shuttle stop. No parking lots, no designated driver.
- Driving: about 20 to 25 minutes without traffic. Plan on double that at the end of the night.
- Rideshare: there’s a pickup area at the grounds, but expect surge pricing after the headliner.
What to pack
- Boots you’ve already broken in. You’ll walk miles.
- Sunscreen, a hat and a refillable water bottle. April days can hit the 90s.
- A light jacket. Desert nights cool off fast.
- A portable phone charger and a bandana for the dust.
Make it a long weekend
Come a day early and spend Thursday by the pool. Grab dinner on El Paseo, or drive up the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway for cool air before three days in the sun. On Monday, sleep in. You earned it.
Where to stay
Indio fills up fast for Stagecoach. Palm Desert is close, calmer and a lot easier on the wallet. All of our homes are dog friendly, and booking direct means no Airbnb service fees.
- The House: an original midcentury home with a private saltwater pool and jacuzzi. Sleeps 4.
- The Pink Condo: poolside with two queen beds. Sleeps 4.
- The Yellow Condo: a king bed and a balcony. Sleeps 2.
- The Blue Condo: a midcentury king suite close to the shuttle. Sleeps 2.
Coming with a group? Book two or three condos and share the pool. See all our festival weekend stays, or read our Coachella and Stagecoach guide.
