More about the festival
The first ever Stagecoach festival took place in 2007 and was headlined by George Strait and Kenny Chesney. Since then, the festival has been a yearly affair, returning to its home state of California.
The festival returned this year from April 29 to May 1 after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with headliners Thomas Rhett, Carrie Underwood, and Luke Combs.
