Garth Brooks is closing the show at Stagecoach 2027, and the festival is building its lineup around fresh faces and old favorites alike. The country music festival returns to the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, April 23 through 25, 2027, with first-time headliners Riley Green and Zach Top anchoring the first two nights before Brooks takes over for the finale.
The lineup leans heavily on young male stars. Green and Top each headline a night, with Brooks saving the biggest slot for himself on the final evening. Florida Georgia Line rounds out the top billing with a reunion performance, their first since reuniting for a two-song set at CMA Fest this past June.
Kelly Clarkson is also on the bill, making her Stagecoach debut. Willie Nelson and Family, Journey, Pitbull, Brothers Osborne, and songwriter Hardy round out the main acts. Up-and-comers include Stella Lefty, Kaitlin Butts, Dasha, Vincent Mason, Buffalo Traffic Jam, and Carter Faith, with Stephen Wilson Jr. returning after his 2024 debut.
What’s Outside Country Music
Stagecoach has long featured artists beyond country’s borders, and this year is no exception. The lineup includes Matchbox Twenty, the Fray, Melissa Etheridge, Sean Paul, Flo Rida, and Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, who appeared at Stagecoach 2026 to perform “Jump” with Teddy Swims. Charley Crockett, Shaboozey, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Turnpike Troubadours, Carín León, and Brazilian singer-songwriter Gustavo Mioto also perform.
The festival’s ancillary programming stays steady. DJ Diplo will curate a dance-music playlist at Diplo’s HonkyTonk, and celebrity chef Guy Fieri will offer cooking demonstrations at his Stagecoach Smokehouse. Streaming options remain in place for those who can’t attend in person: select performances are available via Amazon Music and Prime Video.
How the Nights Break Down
The three-night structure is simple to follow:
- Night one: Riley Green headlines.
- Night two: Zach Top headlines.
- Night three: Garth Brooks closes.
Florida Georgia Line’s reunion performance falls within that schedule. The lineup also includes Kelly Clarkson’s debut, Willie Nelson and Family, Journey, Pitbull, Brothers Osborne, and Hardy.
