Country music enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation as they await the possibility of Post Malone delving into the world of country music. While we’re still hoping for that country album, there’s an exciting consolation prize in store: Posty is set to serenade us with a repertoire of country classics at the much-anticipated 2024 Stagecoach Festival.
Mark your calendars for April 26 to 28 at the iconic Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, the same hallowed grounds that host the legendary Coachella festival. The Stagecoach team has just unveiled its star-studded 2024 lineup, and it’s nothing short of spectacular.
Prepare to be blown away by headlining performances from country icons like Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, and the chart-topping sensation Morgan Wallen. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. On Saturday, the 27th, Post Malone himself will take the stage, offering a unique spin on country classics. This remarkable day also features an array of talent, including the legendary Willie Nelson, the soulful Leon Bridges, the charismatic Charley Crockett, the rising star Luke Grimes, and the Texas legends Asleep at the Wheel.
Post Malone’s affinity for country music is no secret. He’s paid tribute to the genre by covering timeless hits and mainstream classics throughout his career. Some memorable renditions include Brad Paisley’s “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song),” Hank Williams’ “There’s a Tear in My Beer,” and Sturgill Simpson’s “You Can Have the Crown.” He even contributed his unique twist to Hootie & the Blowfish’s country-infused “Only Wanna Be With You” as part of a Pokémon tribute. Last year, he took the stage with Billy Strings for a fiery performance of Johnny Cash’s “Cocaine Blues,” showcasing his authentic rootsy side, which was also spotlighted in his recent NPR Tiny Desk concert.
While Stagecoach is renowned for its dedication to country music, it’s also known for its daring lineup choices that venture beyond the country sphere. This year, festival-goers can expect to see the Beach Boys (featuring Mike Love’s version), alongside non-country acts like Nickelback, Diplo, and Wiz Khalifa, who will grace the stage with electrifying late-night sets.
Música Mexicana enthusiasts will also find a reason to cheer, with Carín León securing a prominent spot on the lineup for Friday’s festivities.
Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this extraordinary musical experience. Tickets for Stagecoach 2024 go on sale starting Friday, September 15, at 11 a.m. PT. It’s an event that promises a fusion of genres, surprises, and unforgettable moments, making it a must-attend for music lovers of all kinds.
