“Can't Wait to Be Back!”: Post Malone, Lainey Wilson and Cody Johnson to Headline Stagecoach Festival 2026

The blockbuster line-up for Stagecoach Festival 2026 has been unveiled, with three country heavyweights - Post Malone, Lainey Wilson and Cody Johnson - set to headline.

Stagecoach - which will return to Indio, California across Friday, April 24th to Sunday, April 26th 2026 - continues to cement its status as one of the highlights of the country calendar, with this line-up once again overflowing with top-tier talent.

Joining Posty, Lainey and CoJo are joined by a slew of other country chart-toppers that, at many other festivals, could easily be headliners, such as Bailey Zimmerman, Riley Green, Ella Langley, Brooks & Dunn, Ella Langley, Red Clay Strays, Warren Zeiders, Nate Smith, Gavin Adcock, Hudson Westbrook and Cameron Whitcomb.

In addition, Stagecoach pays homage to the country's expansion and evolution by recruiting Pitbull, Diplo and BigXthaPlug for the 2026 instalment - three artists that emerged from other genres, but have ventured into Music City in recent years. Diplo will host his popular EDM-infused HonkyTonk for the sixth consecutive year.

BigX, who appeared in Indio in April with his pal and ‘Box Me Up’ collaborator, Jelly Roll, toasts, “Crazy to me that I’m heading to the Mustang Stage at Stagecoach. Earlier this year I popped on Jelly Roll’s set with Shaboozey, now I’m going back. It’s one of those moments you don’t see coming, but you thank God for it”.

Speaking ahead of the unveiling, Cody emphasises his excitement ahead of the 2026 extravaganza, “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 would even 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”.

Lainey echoes the Texan's enthusiasm, “My first Stagecoach was in 2022 on the SiriusXM Stage at 2:30pm in the afternoon. 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, meanwhile, reflects on his explosive 2024 performance, which largely laid the foundation for his momentous debut country album, F-1Trillion. The ‘I Had Some Help’ hitmaker gushes fondly, “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!”

After this stacked line-up drop, thousands of country fans will no doubt be vying for tickets when they go on-sale next week on Thursday, October 2nd at 11:00am PT.
